Things are getting a little confused here. Please look at this picture:

Notice there is only one rig and the "Comm PTT" is set to NO. Set like
this, WriteLog still reads my VFO, following band changes, but the
software PTT does not work. When I change "Comm PTT" to YES, then
software PTT does work, and so does the VFO reading, of course.
See the little check box that says "All mode PTT on CW port RTS"? That
means WriteLog will try to do PTT on the CW port, if you have one set
up. BE SURE you do not have a PTT cable connected there IF you are
using software PTT.
It is confusing, granted, but a little time spent thinking about it
should make it clear. As Don, AA5AU, mentioned in a previous post,
software PTT is the preferred way to go if your rig supports it. If
nothing else, it saves building or buying a cable.
