Missing Comment Box

    Hello, my website, averageaccountant.com does not have any comment boxes at the bottom of the post I have made. I have tried to disable all of my plug-ins but the comment boxes do not come back.

    In my single.php, I have the following code:

    endwhile;
    mh_after_post_content();
    comments_template();
    endif; ?>
    </div>
    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    </div>
    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    Only my most recent post has the comment box at the bottom. I have also tried to install the Jetpack comments and Discuz but there is still no comments on the bottom of my posts.

    I have absolutely no idea what to do. I have also tried different browsers and different computers and I am still stuck with this issue.

    Please help. Thank you.

  • instead of comments_template(); add <?php comments_template(); ?>

    Thanks for the reply, however, I have read that on another thread. I have just tried it again and I still get this error when I go to a post:

    Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘<‘ in /home2/jbrauer/public_html/wp-content/themes/mh-magazine-lite/single.php on line 14

    I change it back to the other line and then I can view the post again.

    Another thing I was wondering is if there is a comment box on only my most recent posts (yes, I have checked my settings and went to see if the box was checked under discussion below screen options) do you think that the issue is related to the code? I have tried other themes but there still is not comment boxes so I don’t think it is theme specific.

    Could you kindly change to WordPress default theme like Twentyfifteen and see if there’s comment box or not ?

    Yes I have tried that and the same occurs; there is only a comment box on the most recent post.

    Also, this has happened a few days ago as well. What I did was copy and paste the posts to new posts. After I have done that, the comment boxes were there. Then they have disappeared after a couple of days. Don’t know if there may be something triggering this or after a while they just disappear for one reason or another.

    Could be a 4.3 issue(not sure though)

    SO I have fixed my issue FYI.

    The reason why my comments seemed like they disappearing on my posts after awhile is because in the Discussion setting under Settings, there was a box that was checked that said to close discussions older than 1 day. I also noticed if I made a post and put it to the date of the original post, the comment box would disappear again. This is the reason why.

    Thanks for helping.
