The comment could not be saved.

    Hi there,

    I’m facing a very odd problem. Whenever I try to comment on my site, I get the following error: “ERROR: The comment could not be saved. Please try again later.”

    It looks like a database problem where wordpress is unable to write to wp_comments. But when I look in my database table, all the comments are there. What’s also very odd, is that wordpress shows the number of comments, but doesn’t show any comments (see screenshot).

    I tried to empty the table, do a repair and optimize (via wordpress and via phpmyadmin), but nothing worked.

    What could be the problem and how do I fix it?

    Oh btw, I disabled all the plugins and used the theme Twenty Nineteen but the problem persisted.

    I found the answer! I had to enable Auto Increment in phpmyadmin for the “comment_ID” table. You can find the solution here: Turn on A_I.

    Make sure that “comment_ID” is set as a Primary Key. You can find how to do it here: Set Primary Key.
