• Hi everyone,

    I am trying to enable comments in my posts and followed all of the directions with regard to allowing comments, etc. However, there is no comment section included with my posts. Any thoughts? PS, I don’t know where to enter codes so if that is needed you’ll have to give me specifics.

    Thank you in advance,
    reblogger

  • Please post a URL to the site in question.

    To enable comments in post, there are two things to be undertaken:
    1. make sure the ‘discussion’ option is checked under ‘screen option’ at the back-end of each of the posts where comments are to enabled.

    2. there should be comments_template included in the posts. i.e on single.php [single posts page] like this for example:
    if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
    comments_template();
    endif;

    Hope that helps.

    Thanks for your response WEN. I made sure that I completed your suggestion in #1. However, comments still don’t show up in the posts.

    Regarding #2, I don’t even know where to look for that.

    However, I just noticed that if you open each post separately the comments section appears. I was hoping it would be included within each post on the blog page. Maybe I’ll only show a portion of the post on the blog page to assist in directing people to each individual post.

    Thanks for your help! If you have any other suggestions, please let me know.

    Yeah you can show the list of posts in a certain page where you’ll have a read-more button for each of the posts & when the button is clicked then it will take you to the full post page where all the contents of that certain post along with the comment_form will be shown.If you are still confused then have a look at ‘single.php’ of any theme, lets say ‘twenty-fifteen’ where you’ll see how the comment_form is called.

    Best of luck!
