   Hi there,
   How can I allow comments on normal pages?
   I've already allowed them when creating pages but the comments area is not showing up
   And it's not only with my template.

   Thanks.

   Leo12,

   If you haven't got it yet:

   You can edit the page.php file (most people suggest making a page template and selecting that template for each page you want comments on).

   <?php } // End the Loop ?>
   <?php comments_template(); ?>
   </div> <!-- #primarycontent .hfeed -->

   I added the middle line (taken from comments.php if I remember) in between (the other lines where there).

   I have comments on my 'pages' now. Though I still can't figure out how to get the 'published by' meta info... I can't find that include...

   Thank you very much!

   Try searching something on the post function like "author"... =D

   I would suggest making a slight change to the code by checking to see if comments are allowed when the page is written (there is a check box for allowing comments when you write a page). Toggling the check box will toggle the comments box on the page.

   <?php if (comments_open()) comments_template(); ?>
