 * In my recent post, the Comments Box is not visible in the post (thus readers 
   can’t comment). I can’t figure out how to get it to appear. I deactivated my 
   plugins and reset the permalinks to default – no change. All of my prior posts
   have not had this problem.

 * Settings > Discussion – make sure you are allowing your users to submit comments.
 * Go to the specific post or page, at the top pull down the screen options menu.
   Check off discussion.
 * Scroll down and, again, ensure comments are turned on.

 * Thanks, yes I verified that comments are enabled in dashboard settings. I think
   my problem may be related to links I inlcuded in my post (links to previous posts).
   I removed the links and created a new post with the same content, and the comments
   box was now visible in the new post. Any ideas? Thanks!!

 * I’m not sure how to provide an example (can’t seem to paste or attach a jpg).
   My site is [http://learninggrowingmind.com/](http://learninggrowingmind.com/)
   if you scroll down to the bottom of the post on the main page, you can see the“
   leave a comment” is there and working. I had to trash my old post and create 
   a new (identical) post without links embedded to get the “leave a comment” to
   appear.
    At this point it’s not a problem anymore. Ideally I’d like to understand
   the cause so I can avoid it in the future.
 * Thanks,
    Karl

 * looks like you are using a plugin for comment form. Which plugin are you using?

 * It looks like you’re using jetpack comments, which may partly be to blame.
 * I’m not sure why it wouldn’t appear if you have next and previous links there
   tho.

 * Yes, I’m using Jetpack comments. Thatks to both of you for your help! I’m going
   to mark this as resolved – hopefully it was an odd thing that won’t happen again.
