allowing comments on a page

Hi Stu. I just did a quick test on a default theme install and, setting the configuration as you described, I do get a “Leave a Reply” box below the page content. Wonder if there might be a conflict with Visual Composer or some other plugin?

Hi bdbrown, I have just tried deactivating Visual Composer and it didn’t make any difference, still no comments. I must admit I am a bit relieved as when I deactivate it it messes up the formatting of those pages I used VC to construct.
If I had added something to the code what php file would I have put it in to stop comments being displayed on pages. I can then take a look and see if I can find anything in the child theme.

The comments are called at the bottom of page.php.

In the old version it was this:

<?php if ( ot_get_option('page-comments') == 'on' ) { comments_template('/comments.php',true); } ?>

In the new version it’s this:

<?php if ( hu_is_checked('page-comments') ) { comments_template('/comments.php',true); } ?>

Hi BDbrown, I have been a bit slow on this but you were right I have at some stage made some changes to the page.php in order to remove the featured image at the top of pages and must have been comments too. It seems sensible not to try and get rid of some of my old child files as the coding has changed. Is there a setting now where you can choose not to display a featured image on a page or do I have to edit the code again?

Couldn’t you just remove the featured image on the page editor?

It seems to be that if I remove the featured image then it just displays the same with old featured image at top. On a page where no featured image was set then it displays a random image. I was affraid that something I have done in the child theme might be doing this so I have experimented by reverting to original hueman theme and it does exactly the same.

reverting to original hueman theme and it does exactly the same.

In the current version page.php calls /parts/page-image.php. In that code, if the page doesn’t have a thumbnail (aka, Featured Image) it doesn’t display anything. Do you perhaps have a plugin that’s somehow setting default featured images?

Yes indeed you are right. All sorted. Thanks again

You’re welcome; glad you got it fixed.
