Title: comments not working, going nuts… Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # comments not working, going nuts… * [spider_templar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spider_templar/) * (@spider_templar) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/) * Hi everyone, I am new to this but I can’t figure this out for my life! – I have it set in the admin,options,dicussions that anyone should be able to leave a comment, however, when I click the link next to a post, I just get the same page with #comments appended to it and no comment form to leave a comment – also, I see the text: “Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.” at the bottom of the page. * Please help! Thanks so much!

On the other hand the OP [original poster] couldn’t comment even with the default theme – so your problem might be not related at all. * [@spider_templar](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spider_templar/), it this point a link would be useful. * [Crystal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crystal/) * (@crystal) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303518) * [http://www.mercury.theicy.net/news](http://www.mercury.theicy.net/news) * ~Crystal * [Crystal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crystal/) * (@crystal) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303524) * I hate bumping and double posting but this is really important. Please help. * ~Crystal * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303530) * Then don’t bump after a half hour! It won’t get you a faster reply… on the contrary. It’s just a blog, not life and death. Be patient. * [Crystal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crystal/) * (@crystal) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303535) * Well I’m sorry if there isn’t any self-help topic on here about this kind of stuff. If there were I wouldn’t even be bothering you. I kinda want this resolved as wquickly as possible. * ~Crystal * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303544) * Everybody wants their problem resolved quickly. However, it could happen the usual helpers are not online (it’s still kind of mid-holidays season), or nobody has an aswer yet… or pissed of that you hijacked seomeone else’s topic 🙂 * Check your single.php or index.php (whichever is in use) whether it has the call for the comments template. Does it work if you switch to another theme? If yes, it’s your theme. * [Crystal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crystal/) * (@crystal) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303552) * What do I need to add if it’s not calling for the comments template? * Actually, I don’t have the ability to comment in any of them, and I know I have it so people can leave a comment. * ~Crystal * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303555) * _Actually, I don’t have the ability to comment in any of them, and I know I have it so people can leave a comment._ * Do you mean comments don’t work even if you switch to another theme? Switch to default or classic and leave it like that for a few minutes until we check it. * [Crystal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crystal/) * (@crystal) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303557) * Comments don’t work even on default, just like spider. * All right I’ll do that now before I shower. * ~Crystal * [moshu](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshu/) * (@moshu) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303563) * Try to add post_id or postname to your permalink structure. * [Crystal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/crystal/) * (@crystal) * [20 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-working-going-nuts/#post-303580) * I love you.
