Really need help activating Comments Box if you can?

  • Hi,

    I’m using 2.9.2 and I’m in the process of setting up my site:

    see here

    I don’t know quite what’s happening but initially I had “discussion” listed in my plugins, and set it up and activated it, and then under settings set it up but the comments box wasn’t appearing.

    I then tried playing around with custom structure settings, deactivated all plugins then reac.. etc etc – but nothing.

    Then I tested posting a comment.

    None of the fields appeared as listed in the settings – just a one big box, but tried posting a comment – it went through, but after posting, page displayed 404 error.

    I then went back to plugin menu and the discussion plugin had gone but is still listed under settings.

    I’ve since been searching for example “plugin comment box” etc etc and looked for downloading “discussions” again but can’t find much out there.

    Really not sure whats happened to be honest, maybe it’s a php thing.

    If anyone can advise would be very grateful,

    Kind regards,

    rob.

  • Hey rob33

    usually it’s on single.php file. Right under this code:

    <?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

    add:

    <div id="commentsTemplate">
  <?php comments_template(); ?>
</div><!--end of commentTemplate-->

    Quick update – Reinstalled bt-active-discussions – comments box appears in posts – not in pages.

    Have ticked box under screen options in pages to allow comments – but not working.

    How do you set up comments box on pages also does anyone know?

    Thanks,

    Hi kim – thanks,

    Don’t need that script as it’s working for posts – but,

    Pages aren’t showing comments box – should I install that code for a specific php file for pages?

    Thanks

    Actually – just tried my hand at php lol – and stuck that code in page.php

    Seems pages are now working fine.

    Thank you very much for resolving that headache.

    Have a good day!
