Comment Submission Form

    Greetings,

    I recently installed WordPress and the CommentPress plugin. I’ve begun to create a document that I would like commented on by my local community. I noticed today that the commenting form is fully functional on the landing/title page–the page that was part of the CommentPress install, but for all new pages that I create, the commenting feature is NOT working. The form with name, email, and text field are not deployed when I click on any of the prescribed triggers for making a comment.

    As I noted, everything is working perfectly for the title page (the page that was part of the original CommentPress install), but not working at all for new pages I create. I’ve looked through everything I can think to look through on the admin side and have searched the Web for clues as to what’s up. I’m hoping that someone on this forum can provide some advice.

    Thank you in advance for any advice you have!

    Mark

    Commenting on pages is off by default in recent versions of WordPress. You will need to switch commenting on for the pages you want to be commentable. If you can’t find the checkbox, look in your “Screen Options” (at the top right of the admin screens) and enable it.

    Cheers, Christian

    Hi Christian,

    Thank you for you reply. I’ve looked at the setting where you suggest and it looks like commenting should be turned on, but unfortunately it’s still only working on the title page that was part of the CommentPress installation and not working on newly created pages.

    You can see the difference at:

    Title page: https://library.providence.edu/fhertr/ (commenting working)
    Newly created page: https://library.providence.edu/fhertr/index.php/how-to-engage-with-this-text/ (commenting not working)

    Thanks again for your help with this!

    Best,
    Mark

    Hi Mark, I just left a comment on the newly created page. You can email me at the address I used to leave a comment if you need help which requires transferring non-public information such as login credentials.

    Cheers, Christian
