I agree Mbmarsh, the problem is permalink related as wp add a slash before the custom string ‘/%post_name%’ while you need to add a slash after the string.

The working string for me is ‘/%post_name%/’

@chefkevin You can switch your theme and all your theme-specific customization will remain intact, so long as you don’t change any of your customized files.

My problem is identical on both of my websites, https://www.rosendahlfinancialcoaching.com and https://www.ojchoa.org. When I try to click on the 0 Comments link, I get a 404 error. Any ideas?

If you are using a custom structure permalink, try switching to Month and name. That worked for me anyways.

hey kaotikri, if you’re still looking for the solution to displaying comments on the home page, i just ran across the solution in another discussion. it’s super simple!

<?php
$withcomments = 1; // force comments form and comments to show on front page
comments_template();
?>
