why are my pages not getting a comment box?

  • I’m using a new theme with WP. Unlike the other themes I’ve used, this one doesn’t seem to be generating a comment input box under the Page content.

    I guess I’ve taken this for granted in the past; is this not something that WP does automatically?

  • I have the same problem. I’ve ticked the box indicating that I want comments, but only the No Comments link appears, and when I click that, it just disappears.

    I did a little more digging, and noticed that my theme has two .php files:

    • index.php
    • page.php

    index.php has some stuff in it for comments that was absent from page.php, notably this line:

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    So, I lifted it and put it into page.php. It seems to be working now, though I haven’t rigorously tested it yet.

    If someone with some knowledge in this area could impart some wisdom, I’d appreciate it…
