Mr. Z

Seems resolved. Server hostname was not a FQDN. Corrected that and anonymous comments now post immediately. Don’t understand why that caused the problem…

ubuntu 16.04
nginx
php7

I didn’t modify the core file.

Edited to add: I did – I admit – create an option called mytimer and the moved the following line of code around the core file to isolate the problematic function:

update_option('mytimer',timer_stop());

Disabling (all) plugins doesn’t help.

Changing to default theme (2017) and deactivating all plugins doesn’t help. I was going to wait until late night to try this but, since I have your attention, I just tried it.

It hangs specifically on

$comment = wp_handle_comment_submission( wp_unslash( $_POST ) );

This problem seems to be back in Jetpack v. 5.0 on WordPress v. 4.8

I replied to that email today, before I posted here. I haven’t received a response.

The last email I received from you(r team), Jeremy Herve @jeherve, was on October 6.

WordPress 4.7 with JetPack 4.4.2 = no emails.

This is still broken. I’d been using v4.2.2 without issue. After upgrading my blog to WordPress 4.7, I then updated JetPack. Emails now don’t work anymore.

I did reply, at 0907 eastern today.

Yes. I was told changes were made to address the problem and asked to try posting again. I did. No email.

This is still broken.

Still broken.

What about subscriptions? I had to roll back Jetpack to a prior version to get subscriptions working again.

Rolled back to version 4.2.2 and emails work. Seems to be a major bug in the September releases. Too bad Jetpack support is on vacation for another week.
