Hi guys,  
I have deployed Redwood version.  
I cannot post any comments in discussions and I got the messages as following

 ![image](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex020/uploads/openedx/original/2X/f/f01817688188f4b24ded31e0a465b87d848e0092.png)  
How can I fix it?

I searched [Open edX · GitHub](http://github.com/openedx) for the string “Posting in discussions is disabled by the course team” and found that message is being saved as something called [blackoutDiscussionInformation](https://github.com/openedx/frontend-app-discussions/blob/58aa512f47957063f300095c516cbf4b031c7d6d/src/discussions/messages.js#L178) - I’m not a frontend developer but is it possible you have discussions blackout on? I googled “open edx discussions blackout” and found this help page: [17.2. Running Course Discussions — Building and Running an edX Course documentation](https://edx.readthedocs.io/projects/edx-partner-course-staff/en/latest/manage_discussions/running_discussions.html#specify-when-discussions-are-closed)
