InstaPy is liking and following correctly but I am not able to get it to comment no matter what config file settings I use. If I intervene with the open browser session during a pause I am able to enter a comment manually in the browser session so I do not think I am being blocked.
I have tried really simple config files as a test and no luck it either does not comment of the console says "Not commenting! Failure" after it likes an image.
Can someone post the most simple working config file that does comment for me to use as an example? Yes I have tried the quick start templates with no luck. I have also tried good_commenting_strategy_and_new_qs_system.py from the quick start templates with the correct user name and password but it just goes to my home page and then starts cleaning up the session and shuts down.
In general do I have to be engaged in liking to get comments to work? (I have tried that as well)
Any help or simple config files for testing would be appreciated. Thanks!

The problem for me was because of the command orders in quickstart.py. I've changed it like below and working well so far.
Let me know if it works for you too.

Oh okay! session.like_by_tags needs to be in the end. This worked for me, thanks!! @eemektas
