comment on a page

you can see what’s happening – or not happening here…

maybe you have comments turned off? go to the page where you edit your posts, scroll down and see under Discussion. there should be a check mark beside Allow Comments.

no – checked that – every post has comments turned on and I can access and enter a comment by clicking on the title and looking at that individual post – but if people don’t know that’s what they should do 0 it’s pointless. I need something near the video giving them the optuon to comment. I have a facebook like icon but that’s not really giving any feedback.

if you have a comments.php in your theme, you can call it by putting

<?php comments_template(); ?>

after the body of your post. see if that works?

I checked for comments.php – it’s there, so I copied & pasted your code in the post and it simply displays as text. How do I insert it AFTER the body of the text as you suggest?

BTW – thanks for your help on this – it’s quite frustrating

ah, wait, need to add a couple more lines. it should be like this:

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

insert it here (i included a few lines before and after where the code should be so you can find it):

<div class="postmetadata">
         <p><a href="#">Continue Reading</a></p>
   </div>
</div>

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

<?php endwhile; ?>

thank you – works like a charm
