 * Hi, I tried many ways to enable comments on adverts with no luck.
 * With plugin created by Gwin:
 * [https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/enable-comments/enable-comments.php](https://github.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/blob/master/enable-comments/enable-comments.php)
 * Tried installing it creating a plugin in g¡plugins folder as explained by Gwin
   but doesnt work, tried creating a code snippet too with codesipets plugin.
 * Any help please? Thanks

 * Hi,
    the easiest way to use this snippet is to go here [https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/master/enable-comments/enable-comments.php](https://raw.githubusercontent.com/simpliko/wpadverts-snippets/master/enable-comments/enable-comments.php)
   copy all content starting from line 8 and paste it in your (child) theme functions.
   php file.
 * Additionally since the last update you might need to go to wp-admin / Classifieds/
   Options / Core / Types / Classifieds panel, check the “comments” checkbox and
   save settings.
 * To check if its working go to wp-admin / Classifieds panel, edit one of the Ads,
   in top right click “Screen Options” button and see if it has the comments radio
   button if it does then the comments are available for the “advert” post type.
 * Finally, note that the snippet will enable the comments automatically only for
   ads posted after adding the code snippet. For the existing ads you will need 
   to enable the comments one by one from wp-admin / Classifieds panel while editing
   the ads.

 * Now works!
 * The problem was with my Divi theme that by default wasnt activated “show comments
   on posts” (theme options>design>post design
 * Thanks!
