 * In my posts, comments are closed (I see “comments are closed” instead of the 
   comments and the form), although in Discussion Settings the option “Allow people
   to post comments on new articles” is selected.
 * What could cause this ?

 * The answer was in [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-are-closed-i-cant-open-them-and-there-are-no-universal-settings?replies=30](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-are-closed-i-cant-open-them-and-there-are-no-universal-settings?replies=30)
 * « Make sure that “Allow people to post comments on new articles” is checked and
   that “Automatically close comments on articles older than [x] days” is unchecked.»
 * Thanks James !

 * In reality the solution of James didn’t work, then I tried Samuel’s one and it
   works perfectly now ! Thank you Samuel !!
