Comment button not working

  • Hello,

    I’m not sure how to make it so people are allowed to comment on stories. At the end of each story there is a ‘click to comment’ button but whenever I click it nothing happens. However, when I’m logged in to edit/add posts, the comment button works fine and I can add a comment.

    Preferably, I’d like anyone to comment without having to sign up for anything or jump through any hoops.

    I addressed the issue first with the theme creator but he said it looked like a WordPress issue.

    Thank you for your help!

    – To able comments, check “Allow people to post comments on new articles” in Settings -> Discussion.

    Then where you create/edit posts or pages in admin, check if you have ticked comments for your posts/pages in the “discussion” box below the editor. If you don’t see the “discussion” box there, in the ‘screen option’ dropdown field (located near the top right), there are tick-boxes to show the ‘discussion’ box for the posts/pages. Tick mark it. In the ‘discussion’ box below the post/page editor, you can then allow/disallow comments for the page.

    Hello,

    Thanks for your response but I’m not sure what you mean by “check if you have ticked comments for your posts/pages in the “discussion” box below the editor.”

    What is the “editor” and where can I find it?

    When I’m on my “Posts” part of my dashboard and I see all of the stories I’ve posted, I clicked on the “screen options” dropdown field and all I see is “Author, Categories, Tags, Comments, Date” and they’re all ticked with a checkmark. When I actually click on a story/post to edit it then click on the “screen options” dropdown field, there are a lot more options, two of which are “discussion” and “comments” both of which are ticked as well. When back on my “Posts” part of my dashboard where I see a list of all my stories, I can click on “Quick Edit” for each post which brings up a few options. One of the boxes to check is “Allow Comments” which is ticked off with a checkmark as well.

    And of course in settings>discussion, the “Allow people to post comments on new articles” is also checked.

    I’m stumped. Heh.

    Does anyone else have any suggestions as to what the issue might be with this particular problem?

    Many thanks for any help!
