Changing “Comments Closed” to “Comments Open”

There’s generally to areas that control this.

The sort of master settings are in your DISCUSSION controls under settings.

Then you can override those settings on a post by post basis when you are writing a post. When writing or editing your post, just look for the check box that allows comments.

If that doesnt work, there may be a plugin that is causing the conflict.

Oh yeah, make sure to clear you cache (if you are using one) when you change these settings.

Hi tluskie,

Thanks for your response.

I know it should be there, but when I am on the edit page for a post, there is no place at the bottom for me to either allow or disallow comments.

I deactivated all my plugins, cleared the cache, and made sure that “Allow people to post comments on new articles” was checked, and still, each post says “Comments are closed.”

However, looking back in the archives, I note that before September 24, comments were allowed and after that, none were allowed.

I guess that tells me something, but I’m just not sure what. ??

If anyone has any other suggestions, I’m all ears. Thanks.

Did you find a solution? I can’t find the check box that allows comments when editing a post.
