    Hello,

    My posts have a comments option and diplaybut not pages, even though I thought that I have “ticked” the option for comments on my pages – can’t understand it.

    Also, please could someone explain the relationship and functionality of categories/pages/posts.

    Thank you,

    Philip.

    Pages shouldn’t have comments. What is to be commented on a Contact Page or an About Us Page.

    But Pages are not only for “About us” or “Contact” pages. They can be set in a tree-like structure, so it’s often used for some static non-blog content, e.g. articles or eBook pages or “meet my cat” pages. And the site owner may decide to allow commenting on these pages.
    If Pages weren’t designed for commenting, then why is that checkbox present in the “Edit page” dialog? 😛

    Here’s how to handle with it:

    It depends on the template tag in page.php.
