Thanks For Taking The Time To Read!

This has me a bit stumped: Error generates upon form submit.

  • Live Site
  • Checked several times for allowing comments in both System Settings & Channel
  • First Site with EE 3 (Core)
  • Used different emails/comment tests

  • Hi there! Please describe the error in more detail. What kind of error is it? What is the error text? A screenshot of the error message can also be informative.

  • Oh, I see the error is described in the subject. I must admit that for me it never registers (be it forum posts, emails, etc) when the key information only exists in the subject/title. Others might do fine with that, but I'd still recommend adding the error message itself to the body of your question.

  • Based on your reply, I tried to edit the member group settings for Super Admin and just allows me to edit the Name, Description and Member Lists. SO I created a new user group and setup the variables as per above, logged in and then when submitting a comment I get a blank screen...I tried the same "not logged in from another browser... Same: no error, no page load to redirect...now I get the following php notices when logging into SUper Admin Notice Undefined offset: 0 ee/EllisLab/ExpressionEngine/Controller/Members/Members.php, line 702 show details

One likely possibility to check first:

Make sure the Guests member group (which is essentially any non-logged-in users) have permission to post comments.

In EE2 you'd go to Admin > Member Groups > Guests and look for Comment Posting Privileges

Not positive, but in EE3 I believe this member group setting is called Submit Comments https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/cp/members/groups/form.html#submit-comments
