Errors

Could not post comment

Generic client fallback when posting a comment fails without a clearer mapped error.

Could not post comment

The comment form’s POST failed and the client could not map a specific message (empty, too long, captcha, disabled, and so on).

Why this happens

Malformed response, network error, or an unmapped server status. When the API returns known codes, you should see those instead. Distinct from Could not save comment (server DB save failure after validation).

Diagnose and fix

1. DevTools → Network on the comments POST — read JSON error / code.

2. Confirm signed-in (where required), comments enabled, captcha completed.

3. Check empty/length/filter rules (Comment cannot be empty, length articles).

4. Retry after fixing the underlying gate.
