Title: No Comment Section Last modified: September 23, 2018 --- # No Comment Section * [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/) * For some reason there is no section to leave a comment under any of my blog posts. I don’t have the editor option under my ‘Appearances’ tab, so I’m not sure how to fix it. I have also been unable to connect my site to Disqus. * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fno-comment-section-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10714711) * Hi there, make sure you don’t have your comments disabled from Settings->Discussion. Have a look here [https://codex.wordpress.org/Comments_in_WordPress](https://codex.wordpress.org/Comments_in_WordPress) and let me know if you need additional help. After enabling it you really dont need to add any Disqus code since the Disqus plugin will automatically replace native comment system. * Now, for the editor option, this is probably disabled from your hosting provider, please contact them and they will probably bring it back or provide an alternative on how to edit your files. * Thread Starter [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10715686) * Hi, * My comments are not disabled, so I’m not sure why else it’s not showing up. * As far as Disqus goes, when I try to install using the installation token I receive this message: * “An error occurred trying to configure your site. Make sure the Disqus plugin is installed and activated, and that your site is publicly accessible.” * The plugin is installed and activated and my site it publicly accessible. * Thank you for taking the time to help! * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10715718) * Hi there, this seems to be an issue with your installation or the Disqus plugin. Can you switch temporary to the default WordPress theme and let me know if the issue persists? * Thread Starter [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10715756) * Where can I find the default WordPress theme? I don’t see it under my installed themes. * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10717105) * Hi there, pick any of these [https://www.wordpress.org/themes/search/twenty/](https://www.wordpress.org/themes/search/twenty/) here. * Thread Starter [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10719889) * Hi I tried using a default theme and I’m still receiving the same message when trying to install. * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10720426) * Hi there, Well this means its not a theme related issue, so I suggest to focus on Disqus plugin or your hosting settings. Make sure you don’t have any security plugins enabled that might prevent Disqus from connecting to your WordPress Installation. * Thread Starter [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10723007) * Hi, * Turns out it was iThemes Security that was blocking Disqus from connecting to the site. Disqus is now installed, but still I don’t see it (or any comment section) on the site. I have the option to edit my theme now, so maybe iThemes was blocking that as well. * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10723984) * Hi there, first disable all other plugins and check if the comment section appear. Another test you can do is again switch temporary themes and check if again the comment section appear. Keep in mind that you dont have to make any code changes to see the disqus comment box since its is handled by the plugin itself. Let me know if you need additional help on this. * Thread Starter [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10726352) * Hi I tried both and I still am unable to see a section for comments. * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10726837) * Hi there, have you tried for plugin conflicts [https://www.cssigniter.com/kb/checking-for-plugin-conflicts/](https://www.cssigniter.com/kb/checking-for-plugin-conflicts/)? * Have you checked my initial suggestion on having comments enabled from Settings- >Discussion.

The comments are already enabled in Discussion.

Ex: [http://www.bloomsista.com/product/rrr-long-sleeved-bubbly-tee/](http://www.bloomsista.com/product/rrr-long-sleeved-bubbly-tee/) * Perhaps there’s something wrong with the code that I can change? * [Fotis](https://wordpress.org/support/users/markwaregr/) * (@markwaregr) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10727932) * Hi there, Can you navigate to a post and via screen options (More info here [http://www.cssigniter.com/docs/article/screen-options/](http://www.cssigniter.com/docs/article/screen-options/)) enable the discussion box? Then enable comments there [https://prnt.sc/kz9h5l](https://prnt.sc/kz9h5l). * Also make sure you don’t have this option selected from Settings->Discussion. [https://prnt.sc/kz9gg2](https://prnt.sc/kz9gg2) * Finally can you create a new post and check if comments appear there? * Thread Starter [bloomblogger](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bloomblogger/) * (@bloomblogger) * [7 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-comment-section-2/#post-10729211) * Hi, * Unchecking “Automatically close comments” worked! Thank you so much! Last question, is there a way to move the comment section so that it falls directly under the post? It is currently under the “You May Also Like” and “Next/Previous Post” sections, and I’d like it to go above them. Thanks again!
