• I put up a “page” and when I wrote the page, and filled in the “page title” and the text of the page and marked it as
    “allow comments”, yet the page has no button nor link to comment on the page, and it seems no matter what I do, this doesn’t change

    Thanks to anyone who can help..

  • Does your page template have the call for comments?
    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    I don’t see that in the page, Forgive a blogging newb, but I assume
    I put this under custom fields? like this:

    Key: Value Action
    Comment <?php comments_template(); ?> update

    but then I hit and go look at the page and it’s still not there

    No, it needs to be in the Page Template. Under Presentation, theme editor, check and see if you have a Page Template and see if that line is in there.

    You need to put it in your page.php file. Have a look at your index.php for for where abouts to place it.
    Gah! beaten to it again – I may as well go home now I think ??

    no it’s not, so do I add it before “edit this entry”?

    <?php edit_post_link(‘Edit this entry.’, ”, ”); ?>
    </div>

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    where do I put it?

    Last but not least, in my most sincere tone, I say “THANK YOU, I LOVE helpful people!”

    I would try putting it after the edit link, before the /div

    Something strange happened…I have no idea what… The page now has the ability to be commented on, space for it, button etc, but when one hits submit, nothing happens and this seems to be true on all comments and pages.. Anyonr have any ideas?
    Oh I looked, my index.php file doesn’t have the
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    line in it either , and just to make sure I’d not screwed something up, I also looked at the index.php file in the zip file.. it’s not in the index.php of that either

    Nevermind.. I realized that most comment files are the same and just copied another from another theme (I tested another theme b4 doing this) Works fine now.. it’s been a long time since I’ve been a newb at something *L*
