 * Please, o please! I cannot get commenting to work on my site. I have the most
   liberal settings (allowing all, no log in, etc.) set up in “Discussion” and “
   Allow Comments” checked on all posts.
    When clicking on “Leave a comment” anywhere
   throughout site the _only _thing that happens is “**#comments**” appears after
   the URL in address bar; no comment box appears, no nothin’. I have been searching
   for help on this everywhere…

 * Have you tried the very basic troubleshooting steps? Such as switching to twentyeleven
   theme temporarily to see if this is a theme problem. If that doesn’t work temporarily
   disable plugins to see if you have a conflict.

    Well, yes, it would appear to be a theme problem. 
   I am using PageLines Platform – _free_ version, sorry to say, as they offer no
   help unless one pays them $100 and are rather opaque with their theme files. 
   I cannot find anything regarding this commenting issue with Platform elsewhere
   however, seeming to indicate it is an isolated issue with my set-up. There is
   no Platform specific settings regarding commenting, so where else do I look to
   resolve a commenting issue like this?

 * Hmmm…. I just installed the free version on my test site…. it works absolutely
   fine.
 * Have you tested with the theme active, and plugins inactive? You may have a plugin
   conflicting with the theme

 * I thank you for your time again on this.
    I have disabled all plugins as well
   as disabling my added CSS code and restored all Platform’s default settings leaving
   a bare unaltered Platform theme, but still to no effect; no comments, only “**#
   comments**” in the URL. If I activate any of the other themes, commenting works.
   Re-enable Platform and no more commenting. I see that it is theme-specific and
   me-specific as you say it works for you, but I won’t be getting any help from
   Pagelines. Do you have any other suggestions of what I might try? (please don’t
   just say, “another theme”)

 * Do I take that as a “no”?
