    Hello,
    I am new to WordPress.
    I am using Twenty Twelve theme.
    I unchecked the Comments box in the Settings/Discussion “Allow people to post comments on new articles” and also removed the “Leave a reply” link. However now I want to add the comments box back but cannot. I checked the box in Settings/Discussion “Allow people to post comments on new articles” back and changed the themes editor to what they where but the comments box is still not appearing.

    My end result should be: Remove the “Leave a reply” link from the top of the post in the Home Page and have a Comments box below the post.
    Thanks

    Got this from a similar question,

    Check if you have the following code on single.php and page.php

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    Otherwise, check if you allow comments on the posts and pages.

    Guide to the comment template

    Hi zachturner
    Thanks. The code is in both the files. I allow comments on the posts, i.e. Have the box checked in Settings/Discussion “Allow people to post comments on new articles”. But I don’t know how to check if I allow comments on the pages. Or is there something else I need to check?

    Many thanks

    Thanks Zachturner,

    Unfortunately this is still not working for me. It’s weird as when viewed in Preview, the comments box appears but when it’s live on the website, the comments box disappears.
    People can still leave a comment by clicking on the “Leave a Reply” link but I would like the comments box to appear on the home page.
    Any ideas how I can get further help please?
    Thanks
