Comments are associated with Posts. There is a link which will allow someone to add a comment. What is the link to your blog?
The software DOES allow visitors to post comments by default, especially if you’re using the default Kubrick theme. Have you played with the options at all? Go to Options and make sure that “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” isn’t selected.
If you’re not using the Kubrick theme, what are you using?
Would you mind showing us your page so that we can better see what’s going on?
Hi,
The link to my Blog is http://kidzkalendar.com/blog/
If you can help me understand how a visitor to my blog site can add information onto the Home page, I would be greatly appreciative.
Thanks,
Michelle
Open Single.php and check if this is present:
<?php comments_template(); ?>
If not, insert it directly after the last two /div’s but before:
<?php endwhile; else: ?> which is located at the bottom of the file.
Check output.
Okay, I went to Options and checked the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment.”
Also, I’m sure I’m using the “Kubrick” theme. How would I find out?
My link to my blog is “http://kidzkalendar.com/blog/
I sure would appreciate any help that you can give me.
Thanks,
Michelle
u are using the K theme. u need to go to admin and allow users to register themselves because u have set the settings to “only registered users can comment”.
Okay, I went to Options and checked the box “Users must be registered and logged in to comment.”
I said make sure that option is NOT checked.
You have comments enabled on your blog. At the bottom of each entry there is a link that says “# Comments” The # being the amount of comments that entry has. For example, your entry titled “Event” says “1 Comment” for its link.
As soon as you remove the check beside “Users must be registered and logged in to comment.” this will allow people to comment. When someone clicks on the “# Comments” link it will bring them to a form that they can fill out to comment. Again, you need to REMOVE the check beside the option “Users must be registered and logged in to comment.” to allow people to comment WITHOUT being logged in.
I went to “Presentation” then “Theme Editor” and clicked on the “Comments” link. Is this where you’re asking me to go to open “Single.php”?
Michelle
Thank you.
What I would like on my Blog home page is the ability for visitors to be able to add information and post to the home page for other visitors to comment on. Can this be done?

If you want them to be able to write a post in the blog, this is different than leaving a commnet. For other to do this, they have to register as a user. Then you have to bump up their userlevel so they can log in and write their own posts.
Everything you need is in the codex.
Try this to start – it really is helpful

Okay, I went back to the admin site and checked the option “Users must be registered and logged in to comment.” Now, how do I “bump up their userlevel so they can log in and write their own posts”?
I appreciate the help.
