comments not working

do you have comments turned on in your admin settings? if not, turn them on, then go into all your posts and turn them on there too. once they are turned on in your settings, every post from now on will have commenting enabled.

as far as i can tell comments are on in my settings and in all posts :/

Is the comments section missing from single.php. If so then you’ll need to add <?php comments_template(); ?>

I’m just guessing because right now I can’t see your page.

yeah i have all the pages needed, like page.php single comments etc etc i haven’t touched the default themes coding though, hoping it would just work with my theme. i have looked and the is <?php comments_template(); ?> in the single.php

anyone else?

hey my blog is at https://3drigger.com/sunny
few weeks ago i noticed that comments are no longer working i tried deleting / upgrading the blog but in vain..
I am having web space and domain from “yahoo small business” and i use there dashboard feature to create form..

any help.. ( i tried checking all the avilable option in settings .. but comments are not working..

tried changing theme.(as if commenting in that particular theme might not be compatible with latest wordpress version)

please suggest solution. som vague idea suggest me this might be because of database problem…

thanks

I am using 2.7 – new blog at https://www.johnnyrodgers.com/wordpress and comments will not work either…Have tried several templates to no avail

I get a “webpage can not be found” error http 404.
The following code for adding comments goes to a href #respond

comments_open()) : ?>
<span class=”comments”><?php _e(‘Goto comments’, ‘inove’); ?></span>
<span class=”addcomment”><?php _e(‘Leave a comment’, ‘inove’); ?></span>

ALSO – the closest thing to template_comments is this code:

<?php include(‘templates/comments.php’); ?>

ANY IDEAS?

I have more problems with comments and have noticed many other users do, too. I have too Word Press blogs and have had both of them unable to comment. Finally got one fixed, now the other one has that problem, too. It seems to just show up at will and not go away and I have spent hours and hours and hours trying to find a fix.
With so many people having the same problem, is there some kind of help sticky someone may be able to post which would walk everyone through a series of steps to try and diagnose?
Obviously, we have all looked at the standard stuff like “disallow comments on this post” and checking/unchecking requirements which allow comments.
There must be some sort of code which is central to most themes which is causing this pervasive problem?
I am at my wit’s end and I can tell others are, too.

I finally got set on track. The issue was one that the .htaccess file was not created or updated when WordPress was installed.

Under SETTINGS is the Permalinks area that is used to identify the URL for your blog posts. There are a variety of selections there. Since I am hosting WordPress on my own, apparently WP is unable to add or update this area automatically (like it does on adding Plugins). So one has to update the .htaccess file yourself. NOTE: It does say this cryptically at the bottom of the Permalinks page – but for a newbie like me – I just did not get it until I read the ALL ABOUT PERMALINKS section of the WP documentation.

I created a 1.htaccess file copying the code suggested at the bottom of the Permalinks page. Then I ftp’d the file to into my WordPress directory, changed the name to .htaccess … and suddenly I was able to post comments.
