The settings under Settings > Discussion only set the default for future posts and pages.
For existing posts and pages, you’ll need to edit them to enable comments: https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#turning-on-comments-for-a-single-post-or-page
Yes, I have done that and literally nothing happens. Every page has comments enabled except my homepage and none of them have comments.
I did Quick Edit – Allow Comments – Update. On each page. And nothing.
Ok, this may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins, and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-One theme. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.
If you can install plugins, install Health Check. On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, without affecting normal visitors to your site.
It looks like the problem is Bluehost Website Builder… I’m not sure what I’m supposed to do about that. My website has comments if I turn it off, but it loses basically everything else.
Ah, in that case, I recommend contacting Bluehost about this: https://www.bluehost.com/contact

I have a WordPress/Bluehost site. I cannot get comments to turn on.
I have followed every instruction, I have gone through each page and enabled comments, I have gone to Discussion and enabled comments, I have refreshed and updated, and comments will not appear. I don’t know what else to do. My website says it has the latest version.
I don’t know if I need to add a block or something but comments does not seem to be a block. The instructions say comments should just appear once I enable them.
