# Problem with comments

 * Hello
 * I run a blog with multiple contributors (around 500 to date).
 * When I add a post myself, or moderate a contributor’s post, it seems to be almost
   random as to whether ‘allow comments’ is checked or not prior to me hitting ‘
   publish’.
 * I’d like it to always be checked and in “Settings > Discussion” I have “Allow
   people to post comments on new articles” checked.
 * Is it because I have multiple authors and they are possibly checking/unchecking
   the box themselves on a per post basis, that I am getting this problem with all
   posts, do you know? Is there a way I can get around this?
 * Thank you
 * Paul

 * I think it is just that. An author may accidentally uncheck it or something. 
   It could also be something with your WordPress version since you are using 3.9.13.
   But I don’t think there is any way to get around it. Just make sure to check 
   that it is allowed before you publish each post.
