Cannot Any Post Comment on Blog, but on Other Pages; Even Admin Can't

  • Hello. I am new with WordPress and am helping my friend setup a blog site. The trouble I found yesterday was that no one can leave comments on his blog posts, but it is possible to post replies on any other (non-blog) pages. Admin setting is set so that anyone can post. To check to see whether the setting is correctly setup, I list below the setting on Admin>> Settings>> Discussions>>

    Default article settings
    [x] Attempt to notify any blogs linked to from the article.
    [x] Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)
    [x] Allow people to post comments on new articles

    Other comment settings
    [ ] Other comment settings Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
    [ ] Users must be registered and logged in to comment
    [ ] Automatically close comments on articles older than XX days
    [x] Enable threaded (nested) comments X levels deep
    [ ] Break comments into pages with top level comments per page and the page displayed by default
    Comments should be displayed with the comments at the top of each page

    E-mail me whenever
    [x] Anyone posts a comment
    [x] A comment is held for moderation

    Before a comment appears
    [ ] An administrator must always approve the comment
    [x] Comment author must have a previously approved comment

    I would sincerely appreciate any advice on how to troubleshoot this issue.

    Thanks in advance…

    Hi. Thank you for replying, transom.

    Where in the Settings–> Discussion do you need to un-check?

    [] Allow people to post comments on new articles

    ?

    I have tried turning off the above, but nothing changes.
    “Leave a Comment” button is still there.

    Which specific setting do you need to turn off? I don’t think there is any setting there to turn-off, in order to remove the commenting buttons? Is there?

    Thanks.

    That would be a theme issue. It should know to check the setting.

    Are you using a custom theme, a pro theme, or a theme in the Extend directory?

    The default theme, but the header image was changed. There is no modification, but several menu tabs were created, as I described earlier.
