Support » Networking WordPress » Missing Discussion, Excerpt boxes and other features – WP MultiSite 3.1 install

    I set up a WP 3.0.4 MultiSite as a “beta” site. For technical reasons (I’ll spare you the story), I had to do a fresh install. The second time, I started with WP 3.1 and have since upgraded to 3.1.1.

    There are several features of the Edit Post screen that are now missing in my second installation of WP MultiSite.

    *Excerpts box
    *Send Trackbacks box
    *Custom Fields box
    *Discussion (allow comments and pingbacks and trackbacks) box
    *Author box
    *Revisions box

    I really need to be able to allow/disable comments on an individual post-to-post basis. So a site-wide comment disabling option isn’t for me.

    I figured out a work-around for the missing excerpt box and can deal (for now) without the other features, but am at a loss for what to do re: the missing Discussions box.

  • On the upper right of the Edit Post screen, click open the Screen Options menu. Check off the things you want to have appear.

    Thanks so much! I had originally clicked that Screen Options tab from the Dashboard, and of course (since hindsight is always 20/20) the options were different there as compared to the Screen Options displayed in the Edit Post screen.
