Turning Comments On/Off on a Blog Page

    New to WordPress, using the default Twenty Fourteen theme:

    My web site has a number of static pages, but one page will be a blog. But it doesn’t show a space for COMMENTS. In the QuickEdit window for that page, I have the allow comments block checked for that page, but still no place for comments appears.

    Have I turned comments OFF in some other setting besides the QuickEdit space? I can’t find another way to turn Comments on for that page.

    Thanks,
    WK

    Unless you provide a link to a page demonstrating the problem, no one will be able to offer much in the way of assistance.

    Thanks, esmi — I’ll do that in the future. The site is https://www.basileiaproductions.com , and the BLOG page link is in the menu bar.

    AND . . . I just proved that I’m a WP rookie. I went to the BLOG page on my site and entered a dummy test post and, voila, the comments link and comments apparatus appeared when I posted that test post.

    That’s confusing to me because on some of my other static pages, until I turned “Allow Comments” OFF in the QuickEdit window, there was a COMMENTS apparatus on those pages even before I had ever entered any content. Not sure why it’s different on the BLOG page. But, at least I have the comments ability on the BLOG page, so all’s good.

    Thanks for instigating that research.

    The comment form is on each post’s single page view – ie https://www.basileiaproductions.com/2014/03/04/test-entry/

    This is the default behaviour in most WordPress sites.
