[resolved] Upgrade to 3.1: Features disappear. (7 posts)

    In 3.0.5 there was a little section of options below the post editor, including pingbacks/trackbacks, closing comments, custom fields, and maybe some more stuff. I really need the closing comments feature for my pages so I don't have even a trace of the commenting stuff on my pages while keeping comments on my blog posts. What happened to these options and what can I do to access them?

    Okay, I figured out that it was the contact form plugin. This is a very big problem. I tried about 5 different contact form plugins and they all seem to make the extra options disappear. Does anybody know a good contact form plugin that doesn't do this?

  4. Grunion works fine for me.

    Whoops, I was wrong. After some weird inconsistent results (the first time I disabled the contact form plugin and the options came back) I instead disabled all my plugins and the extra options were still gone. Idk what this means. If it's not the plugins what can it be? The only thing that has changed in the past week is 2 new plugins, exec-php (for php in posts) and various contact form plugins and also the upgrade to 3.1.

  6. Did you read Esmi's post?

    In that link is this:

    3.1 hides some screen options on posts & pages edit screensby default. Just turn on the ones you want.

    Wow, I did not see that. My eyes were glued to the troubleshooting part. Thanks...
