• I was wondering if there was a reason why people cannot comment in the pages I create. Ive “check off” the comment box when I create a page, but yet, people cannot post anything.

    Sorry for the double post, but just to let you guys know, the only part of the skin I edited was the meta area.

    By the way, the URL is http://www.niaslv.com – on the side where the pages are, if you click one of them, it takes you to the page, but doesnt show the comment link.
    Thanks.

    It says I need to be logged in to leave a comment.
    Can you create a test user so we can test please ?

    It looks as though the theme itself does not allow commenting on pages. Temporarily switch to a different theme, and see if it works then.

    Oh, and there’s a little ‘edit’ link under every post you make here on the wordpress.org support forums, so you don’t have to make multiple posts :-).

    I’m not sure if its the theme. I’ve tried about 4-5 themes and niether work – nor does the default (w/ the blue banner). However, on the classic skin, it says that the comment area is closed (even when I am logged in). Is there anything I can do to make it work.

    You have to put the comments template info in the actual template you use for a PAGE (just as you have in your normal blog posts, usually right after “the content” in a normal blog entry template.) Do that in your Presentation area, change the Page … and to make a new template for a Page, upload a new file in like manner of the actual Page Template, and change it to suit your needs. You can have different Page Templates, and choose them when you make a new page, or edit a page.

    FWIW that’s what it sounds like you are looking for.

    Here are a few things to read about it:

    Just look at any of your normal templates then to grab the comment template code and formulate it how you wish.
