 * Hello
    A while back I added a plugin to disable comment. I now think it wasnt
   a good idea. I have now removed the settings for this plugin and disabled it.
   I went to the discussion on dashboard and entered the required fields. Option
   to comment is still not showing, however if I go to my archived posts, list on
   sidebar, the option to comment is available on older posts. I tried another theme
   but it still did not show comments. Hope you can help. Alistair

 * If you want to use that plugin, then uninstall/delete it.
 * Second, after that, clear all cache before viewing the site or dashboard:
    `
    - **Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/
      or [browser caches](http://www.refreshyourcache.com/)**. Not just your browser,
      but any op cache or content network cache as well [such as Cloudflare](https://support.cloudflare.com/hc/en-us/articles/200169246-How-do-I-purge-my-cache-).
      That will solve many weird JavaScript issues.
    - **Flushing Managed host caches**. Managed WP hosting often has special caches.
      If your host has a “Purge Varnish” or “Flush Memcache” tool, try that. You
      can ask your provider to flush memcache and Varnish for you if necessary.

 * Thank you very much for the suggested solution. I mainly use Firefox but the 
   orange button is not there so I had difficulty proceeding. I think I will pass
   this information on to my Host and see if they will do it for me.
    Thanks Alistair
