    My site is created on genesis theme.
    I set up a pods custom posttypes and have used a pods template too.
    I find that the posts that I had imported into pods when I blogged prior to pods have the comment form. However, the comment form does not show on the pods created posts.

    I have done the following:
    1. I have ticked the comments box in the Advanced Options inside the Post Type.
    2. I have added this to my functions.php — add_post_type_support( ‘my-podst-type-name’, ‘comments’ ); —
    2. I have added the comments and comments_status to templates (comments status shows the word ‘closed’)

    Whatever assistance you can provide will be of great help. Thanks in advance.

    When comments are “closed” there will be no comment form. Check the settings under WP for the date range for closing comments. If it’s based on date and you imported older posts, that might be the reason.

    @jimtrue… really appreciate your suggestion and advice.

    In the Discussion Setting the check box is unticked for “Automatically close comments on articles older than ” I have also ensured the same in the multisite settings area.

    This is the link created with Pods Post type : Link with Pods Post type This does not pull the comment form.

    This one does have the comment form. It was imported into Pods Post type from posts. This is the Link imported from posts into pods

    Will be glad to get any assistance and advice. Thanks again…

    @jimtrue … I now see that each post of a post type in the back end has a discussion box with comments to be ticked in. On ticking this box i see the comment form for that post.

    Is there any way that this could be automatic or would I need to to go back and edit each post created with the post type to tick the comment box?

    Yep, there’s a tutorial about Comments that ties them all together starting with this one: https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments-for-future-posts/ to this one https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-and-disable-comments-for-published-posts-and-pages/ and ending with the bulk editing https://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/#bulk-edit

    You can do the bulk-editing so you don’t have to pick one post at a time. Future posts, once you make the settings you’ve configured, should be set to allow commenting. It’s only when you import posts from the past typically that commenting will be turned off by default. This isn’t actually anything to do with Pods, it’s all WordPress. Once you turn on Supports, Comments in the Pods Configuration screen, the commenting is completely handled by WordPress.
