# Comments Box Help

 * Hello, I run a WordPress subscription site with pages that, while the subscriber
   level can view the pages, no comments options are visible at the bottom even 
   though I have two boxes on that page checked. Allow pingbacks, and allow comments
   are both checked.
 * I am lost as to why I’m not seeing the comments box as an admin, nor are the 
   users/subscribers seeing it. Can you help?
 * Thank you. I tried to search out this issue before posting, and was unable to
   find anything relevant to this issue.

 * [@alchymyth](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alchymyth/) – someone else said
   it was single.php where this code should go, are you saying it should also be
   in page.php, and where in that file should it be placed?
 * Thanks.

 * [@sean0913](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sean0913/) was referring to ‘
   subscription site with pages’ – therefore my reply.
    as [@sean0913](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sean0913/)
   did not post again, i have no idea if that reply was helpful.
 * [@muymalestado](https://wordpress.org/support/users/muymalestado/)
    yes, this
   code should be in single.php, and if you want to allow comments on pages, this
   code should also be in page.php or your page template.
 * should be placed within the loop, usually it would be placed after the end of
   the post content.
