How to kill the "prove you are not a robot stuff" on Blogger!





For anyone that would like to make it easier for readers to comment on your blog.  This is how you get rid of word verification stuff on Blogger.

You need to go to the old Blogger interface - on your dashboard look up to top right, click the little wheel and it will give you the old interface as an option. Click that. You will see a big blue button - don't click that - click the one 3 along to the right - settings.

Then click the comments tab - scroll down to the question "Show word verification for comments?" and click no.

That will sort it. But you do have to click the yellow save settings button at the bottom.

To go back to the new interface just click the blue " try the updated blogger interface" at the top next to your email address.

PS  I hope this is helpful.  Feel free to copy and use the picture.

I used to have it, but now I just have it set to where I have to approve comments and that's it.....word verification are too time consuming and hard to read sometimes!

  4. I'm so glad you posted this Carole! I hate word verification and I'm to the point where I might stop commenting on blogs that still use it because my time is precious to me, if no one else, and I have a ton of blogs I comment on each week. Thanks so much for linking up to Creative Thursday. Can’t wait to see what you share this week! Have a wonderful week.

    1. Me too. It may have worked on the old interface, but setting comment word verification to NO on the new interface does NOT work. Also it looks like if you started a new blog with the new interface there is not an option to go back to the old one. Is there a way around this?

    2. It appears that setting comment word verification to NO in the new interface does not work. Also, it appears if you set up a new blog using the new interface there is no option to go back to the old interface. Is there a way to turn off the comment word verification?
