  • The comment feature will not show up on any static pages I create on my site. Here is an example of a page I created today – and due to its nature it’s vital that I have comments show up:
    http://www.zephyrhillblog.com/beeafriend/

    I have enabled comments for this page by checking the box in the Discussion settings. I even left a test comment on this page and it will not show up on the published page (though I do see it in my dashboard).

    What I am missing?

    Here is a screen shot which shows the settings I enabled, as well as the comment I added.

    This need to be changed in current active theme file.
    Find it in /wp-content/themes/YOUR_ACTIVE_THEME_FOLDER/page.php

    Open and find this:

    <?php endwhile; .......

    Add this code before:
    <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

    The final code should be:

    <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>
    <?php endwhile; .......

    PROBLEM SOLVED ON MY OWN – 5 minutes later!

    I had to change not just individual page setting but my Genesis theme settings as well. This is how I fixed it and made comments show up on my pages, and not just my posts. I hope this helps someone else!

    1. Open dashboard.
    2. Choose Genesis > Theme Settings from the left hand side menu.
    3. Scroll down to Comments and Trackbacks.
    4. Check the box next to both “Posts” and “Pages” to enable comments. You can later go to individual pages, choose edit, and disable comments on select pages.
    5. Scroll to the very bottom of the page and choose Save Settings.

    It works perfectly now!

    Thank you, GNDX, for the alternate solution! I’m kind of a dummy, so using the checkboxes in the theme editor was easier for me. 😉
