 * Me again … =)
    Now, the commenting system. I was trying to set up a more interactive
   commenting system using wpDiscuz, but the only comment form I see is the standard
   WP comment form. To see if this is a problem with the plugin I tried Disqus, 
   but got the same disappointing result. I tried various themes as well (someone
   said commenting is theme dependent) including the standard ones – same thing.
 * So again, I’m obviously missing something?

 * Hi [@shieldfire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shieldfire/),
 * What is the website? We can take a look at it for a moment, thanks 🙂
    Also in
   back-end, have you taken a look at the ‘comments’ menu on the left side? You 
   need to alter some settings here.

 * The website is at: [http://www.theoldecookerybook.com](http://www.theoldecookerybook.com)
 * The page I’ve been using as a testpage is [http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/recipe/asparagus-soup/](http://www.theoldecookerybook.com/recipe/asparagus-soup/)
 * Not quite sure which settings you are refering to, the plugin specific or those
   in Settings-Discussion.

 * Hi [@shieldfire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shieldfire/),
 * Please read [documentation](https://wpdiscuz.com/docs/wpdiscuz-documentation/)
   from wpDiscuz to make sure you set-up every setting. You need to manually activate
   this comments plug-in for posts, pages and media.

 * Hi,
    I’m not finding those settings unfortunately. AFAIK the plug-ins were to
   do with media uploads and which types of pages allows them (posts, pages …). 
   But then I might be wrong (it has been known to happen…) Also, I get the same
   problem with other comment plug-ins (I tried Disqus).

 * Hi,
 * If settings are not displaying then there is some sort of bug (in your plug-in
   or theme). It might be a good idea to turn on your debugging in wp-config.php
   file and check if there are any faults in the back-end.

 * I found the setting which was unticked, however “manually activate this comments
   plug-in for posts, pages and media” was not a totally accurate description. There
   was a tick-box in the Comments-Form-[FORMNAME] page that said “Recipe” which 
   was empty.

 * Hi [@shieldfire](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shieldfire/),
 * I am happy it is solved.
    As for the naming of the checkbox, this was on my side
   just a complete guess. Therefore I send you the link to a more detailed documentation.
 * Have a great day.
