    The Comment field only apprears for some of my Posts, even though all the settings are the same for all the Posts.

    In “Settings” / “Discussion” – all these are checked:

    • Allow people to submit comments on new posts
    • Comment author must fill out name and email
    • Users must be registered and logged in to comment

    For every Post, under:

    Discussion
    • Allow Comments
    • Allow Pingbacks & Trackbacks

    … Are both checked.

    Post Examples:

    Comment enabled:
    https://brianenos.com/the-exchange/

    No comment:
    https://brianenos.com/learned-versus-insight-knowledge/

    I searched this forum and googled all afternoon but could not find how to fix it.

    Thank you,
    Brian

    For every Post, under:

    Discussion
    • Allow Comments
    • Allow Pingbacks & Trackbacks

    Please double check that the posts missing comments don’t have their comments switched off under editor.

    The setting at Settings > Discussion only enables the *default* for *future* posts, it does not effect existing posts in any way.

    For existing posts, you must edit them and enable the comments via the “Discussion” box below the editor.

    If there is no Discussion box below the editor, you must hit the Screen Options tab near the top-right.

    In there, you’ll need to check Discussion.

    That will enable the Discussion settings box below the editor mentioned earlier.

    Thanks for the reply.

    For a post that the comment field is currently NOT displaying, in the Document editing section (on the right hand side), under the Discussion tab, “Allow Comments” is checked.

    Anything else you can think of I can check?

    If all the above steps did not resolve the problem, then lease attempt to disable all plugins, and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
