  • what was the solution?

    It might be a template problem. Check this string out:

    http://wordpress.org/support/topic/204737

    In many themes, the comment box isn’t set to show on Pages, but it’s scripted into page.php to display if you set a custom field in the page with a key of “comments”.

    Although you don’t need to mess with the code, I’ll show it here in case you’re wondering:

    <?php if ( get_post_custom_values('comments') ) comments_template() // Add a key value of "comments" to enable comments on this page ?>

    Open the page you want comments on in your WP Admin, scroll down to the Custom Fields area and expand it. Now in the “Key” box type the word “comments” and in the “Value” box type “comments” as well and then click the “Add Custom Field” button. Now save the page and test it in your browser.

    Um. Just put this:

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    in your page.php before <?php endwhile; else: ?>.

    Can someone please be a bit more specific for us newbies. I have a wordpress.org blog and my commnet box was working 2 days ago I’ve done nothing to my site since and was just told the comment box has vanished.

    How do I bring it back?? And if you give me code, PLEASE tell me exactly where to put it. Do I go to comments.php?? OR where? And once on the right page where to do insert the new code in the html???

    Thank you much, hope someone can help.
