    Hello all,

    I have read a few posts regarding how to allow comments to show on my post pages. But nothing seems to work. Some of the posts a fairly old so I have started this one. I understand that virtue theme isnt setup to allow comments by default so I have to add some code somewhere. Can someone tell me what code I have to add and exactly where I have to add it.

    I only want people to be able to read my posts and then comment on them and then I can reply etc

    Thanks

  • Lets make sure we are clear, Pages and posts are two different things. You can have comments on posts with virtue. But by default pages don’t have code for comments.
    If you want add comments to pages you have to add this to your templates/content-page.php file. add to the end of the file.

    <?php comments_template('/templates/comments.php'); ?>

    Hello, thanks for the help.

    Its only on the posts that I require comments. Yu say that this should be fine, but comments is not working. I have enabled the check box to allow comments and pingbacks, on my posts but still no comment boxes appear on my posts. My site is mugeturner.com

    Can you post a link to a single blog post page?

    That is a category page, not a post?
    Could be that your permalinks are conflicting?

    Hmmm. Im a little confused now. I have 6 posts (I call them blogs on my site) which I have created using ‘add new post’ on my dashboard. I have assigned a category to each of them so to keep them in some sort of order. I presumed as these are still ‘posts’ then this is where the comment boxes should be? Am I wrong? Are they not posts?

    You can’t have your post and category share a permalink, change your post permalink just a little and you will be able to see the difference.

    Hello, yes I was using the widgets in the wrong way. I now use a recent post widget whcich displays the comment boxes.

    Thanks for your help
