 * Hi there,
    How can I allow comments on normal pages? I’ve already allowed them
   when creating pages but the comments area is not showing up And it’s not only
   with my template.
 * Thanks.

 * Leo12,
 * If you haven’t got it yet:
 * You can edit the page.php file (most people suggest making a page template and
   selecting that template for each page you want comments on).
 *     ```
       <?php } // End the Loop ?>
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
       </div> <!-- #primarycontent .hfeed -->
       ```
   
 * I added the middle line (taken from comments.php if I remember) in between (the
   other lines where there).
 * I have comments on my ‘pages’ now. Though I still can’t figure out how to get
   the ‘published by’ meta info… I can’t find that include…

 * Thank you very much!
 * Try searching something on the post function like “author”… =D

 * I would suggest making a slight change to the code by checking to see if comments
   are allowed when the page is written (there is a check box for allowing comments
   when you write a page). Toggling the check box will toggle the comments box on
   the page.
 * `<?php if (comments_open()) comments_template(); ?>`
