# Adding Comments to Static Pages

 * I am looking for the easiest way to add the same type of comments feature that
   is on the **Posts** page of WordPress to a **Static** page that I created. Basically
   I want my readers to be able to comment on static pages like they do on posts…
   what is the easiest way to go about doing this?
 * I have looked and looked and searched and searched and haven’t found anything
   that directly deals with this, most of my ‘comment’ searches come with topics
   on spam and such. Any and all help is greatly appreciated. THANKS!

 * Why not take the text from the static page and create a Page from it?
 * Assuming you want it to match your blog and all… that’d be the easiest way.

 * … and probably the only way. I’m reasonably certain that comments have to be 
   associated with an ID (pages/posts have IDs in the database).

 * I am using the WordPress static page using the “WritePage” feature, not simply
   an HTML or PHP page I created. The page I want to have comments on does have 
   a page_id… sorry I didn’t make that clear.
 * When I created the page I have the “Allowed Comments” checkbox selected, but 
   comments can’t be made on the page.

 * The template “include” tag mentioned there must reside in your Page (page.php)
   template to display comments in Pages. See your theme’s Single Post (single.php)
   template for an example.

 * Yup, Kafka nailed it – you need to add the comments “stuff” to your page template
   and you’ll have what you need.
