Hello,
There are some problems with the blogging bundle with Wordpress 2.2. Pings and Comments are always set to off. I know it has been mentioned before and it seems to be a bug in WP. I didn't see a bug report on the WP trac and am not really too familiar with the API, so could you clarify what's causing this and whether it really is a WP bug so I can submit a bug report to the WP guys?
Thanks!
Christoph
