My husband figured it out in 2 seconds

All Posts> Edit> APPLY…..NEW SCREEN>Comment>Allow

I tried it a thousand times before and never got a new screen.

I studied the forums about this problem, it goes back many years for many, many users. Several members suggest breaking into template code to add this:

<div id=”comments”>
<?php comments_template(); ?>
</div>

however #1 I’m using the default template, nothing fancy, and it has a warning to NOT change code

#2 I wouldn’t know where to add code (should be “after The Loop in your theme’s page.php.file” ….however I don’t know what that means)

Sohail Khan:

Okay thank you but there is no “Comments” on that screen

There is “Screen Options” on the upper right, then checked off “Comments” and “Apply”….I have already tried that before, does nothing, still no place for visitors to leave comments.

Any other suggestions?

Michael: sorry what is a permalink structure?

I have the same (I think) problem….can’t get a comments box to open.

I’ve gone into Settings> Discussions and set it at Allow Comments.
When into Pages and Posts, set both Screen Options to Allow Comments.
Went into my only Post and set it as Allow Comments”

Tried deactivating plug-ins (that was suggested many, many times in Forums).

Don’t want to change code, please!

Any suggestions? TIA
