Comment Area / Leave a Reply does not display

Site URL?

On my index page “Leave a reply” and the comments field do not disply.

by default, they never do. click through to the individual post the add comments.

thanks alchymyth – i did not know that. what can i do to make the commentsfield display on the index page?

the common recommendation is that it should not be done;

reasons:
a:
many of the ‘comments features’ such as paginated comments do not work properly or do not work at all;
b:
with a large number of comments, the loading time of the index page will get very long.

technically you could do it by adding this into the c index template:

<?php global $withcomments; $withcoments = 1;
comments_template(); ?>

(at the same location in the index template as you would find <?php comments_template(); ?> in single.php)

thanks!
