# can’t comment on posts!

 * So, despite all of my posts having the “Allow Comments” box checked, no such 
   option exists on the website. There is no “Add Comment” button – nothing about
   comments exists at all.
 * It seems like all you should have to do is have the “Allow Comments” box checked
   when you post, but, is there more to it than that?
 * Does anyone know what the problem could be?

 * It also depends on your theme. Which theme are you using? Some of them do not
   have comment boxes. You could potentially modify the theme, or try a different
   one.
