From the page it does not allow you to click on the post. It just shows what the post says. There is no link
OK Can you load a single-post view of any post and comment there?
By going into the dashboard, clicking posts, and “view” I can see the post but there is still no comment box
Is that what you mean?
Yes,
It means
- the discussion is not set up properly for that post or
- global discussion not set properly under settings>discussion or
- Your theme doesn’t have provision for commenting and you would have to enable somehow
Have you ever seen any comment box on the front end? What theme do you use?
I’m assuming it’s a problem in my theme. Someone that worked for our company previously created our theme. And no I have never seen a comment box. Do you know how to add a comment box to my theme?
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_template
Basically it says put the following code into you theme’s single.php file:
<?php comments_template(); ?>
Usually it goes right after
<?php the_content(); ?>
Good Luck!
If it were me, I would make a second WordPress, propably in a subdomain, and use theme P2. That keeps the team communication totally separate from the public facing website. That’s how they do it at WordPress.com … And they are the folks who authored theme P2.
I don’t have a single.php file. I have
404.php
contact.php
enco-homepage.php
enco-sidebar.php
enco-sidebar2.php
footer.php
functions.php
header.php
template-tags.php
tweaks.php
index.php
page.php
sidebar.php
style.css
Does one of those equate to single.php?
So if I make a second wordpress that means I have to make a completely separate login etc? Or can I create a second one within our existing profiles?

Yes, and it’s probably better because there will be no way your team can mess up the company site. And it can be really easy, you make it so they can create their own account and password and you really don’t have to duplicate the first set of accounts.

Most likely you can make a copy of page.php and name it single.php If you want to post here the contents of your page.php, enclosed in backticks, I’ll check it.

Is it possible to have my users be able to comment on posts within the dashboard? We are trying to use this as a communication tool in our office but so far I am unable to find a way to allow them to comment on posts on the dashboard. I see how to allow members to comment on blog posts. thank you
