Comments only working on new posts?

  • I am using WordPress 2014 Theme and just realized I had no comments visible on my posts. Finding another thread related to the issue, I realized I needed to check the box for comments being allowed on new posts. That solved the problem for the next post I tried to add as a test, but I would still like comments to appear for all my older posts. For some reason, I can’t find a way to accomplish this.

  • Are you using this comments plugin or just wordpress’s default comments mechanism?

    if your using the default mechanism you need to got to settings and discussion and set the defaults for comments on posts.

    secondly for any old posts, go to view all posts check the posts you need to update and select bulk edit,

    then turn on comments and save.. as opposed to going though each posts one my one to turn on comments.

    note.. if you have turn off comments in x days… in the discussion settings and the posts are older that x days they’ll get shut straight off again the next time the house cleaning action runs in wordpress..
