Allow Comments Turning Itself Off?

    I just experienced the same problem for the second time, and can’t figure out what’s going on. I had “Allow Comments on all posts” checked in the back end, and had the “Allow Comments” box on each post checked. Out of the blue, they all unchecked themselves. I went to my site and noticed “Comments for this posts have expired” or something like that in the comment area of each post. And this applied to all the posts, not just a few.

    So the only solution I could see is to go back and manually turn those back on in every post, and turn “Allow Comments on all posts.”

    The frustrating part is this is the second time this has happened recently. Anyone else experienced this? I tried searching. Not sure if it’s a plug in issue or what. But it seems to be happening out of the blue, not immediately after something has been edited.

    unalbe to turn on the comments… help me out thanx in advance…

    I had the same problem this week – the allow comments box was unchecked on all my old posts. I believe it was a plugin upgrade, because the only change this week was upgrading 2 plugins. Running WP 2.8.4.

    admin – settings – discussion:
    did you check that this

    Automatically close comments on articles older than days

    is unchecked?

    In my case, the admin setting was unchecked for “automatically close comments on articles older than…”. And every post on the blog was unchecked for “allow comments” (even though I had posted then with the box checked). I went over every setting I could think of. Nothing else seemed askew.
