Gremlins stole my air freshener
My apologies, I have things to post here but there’s a problem with the blog. The comments have disappeared. I mean, I can see them but I don’t think you can, which means I can’t reply to them. Everything looks normal in the dashboard, all the right boxes are ticked as far as I can tell, but frustratingly the page just isn’t behaving itself.
What do?!
Dr. Google told me to revert to a different theme in case an update is to blame, but that turned the blog into an orgy of random black text on a white background so I switched it back.
Then Dr. Google told me to check my plug ins. ‘Glade’ makes them. I have one that’s Sandalwood and Jasmine, and the other is Summer Fruits. They smell lovely and there’s nothing wrong with them. I plugged them out one by one like Dr. Google told me to, then plugged them back in again. It smelled like wet dog for a while here in the house but now it smells like plug-in again. I’m very confused.
What else could I do?
But wait.. even if you know, you can’t tell me because you can’t comment!
I miss dad, he’d have this fixed in an instant and would enjoy giving out to me for breaking his blog.
Oh!!! The comments are back! They’re just disabled in certain posts it seems. Technology is madness.
So am I visible?
Yes you are I think, but the comments in all the previous posts don’t seem to be.
If I remember correctly comments were disabled once a post reached a certain “age” so to speak. Saved your father from checking every past post to see if there were any new comments. Can’t say that I blamed him.
Well that’s a useful setting indeed. Wonder if wordpress free blogs have that feature too?
You do remember correctly.
Correct. I think grandad shortened the length of time they stayed available about a month before he left us. I think to around 7 days.
Thank you for this information, I’m so relieved I didn’t break the blog!!!
It smells lovely in here. Glad you’re back.
If nothing else, you have inherited your father’s sense of humour. Thanks for keeping on. When I lost my father it took me a long time to see past the loss and fully appreciate what he had meant to me.
Thanks for your support with this, I was using dad’s laptop to post and comment but time is tight so I realise I need to hook my phone up to the blog too so comments don’t escape me! Me aul blog etiquette leaves a lot to be desired.
Those plugins have freshened us all right up!
Glad you’re back!
You write very well Kate. Your posts since taking over are a pleasure to read, yet the variety of your experiences in life and your insights are bringing a really fresh world viewpoint…..to me at least. Keep up the good work. 🙂
