    This seems to be a problem without a specific answer, according to the forum. My blog page does not show where you can make a comment. The settings (general and blog specific) have all been checked to make sure the comments are allowed, turned on, etc. But you can’t make a comment if there is nothing on the page about commenting. I’m using the latest WP version, the latest Genesis Frameworks version (their forum had no answers either!). It would seem there’s something in the code that is blocking it. I have a child theme, the main theme also does not show any comment box in the live preview. Any help out there?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • The blog page you linked to is the archive (post listing) page, not a single post page where comment thingy is usually going on.

    Right now you got only 1 blog post, so it might be hard to tell which page is an archive or single, try making a few more posts.

    There is something else too. On your blog’s archive (post listing) page, there is a CSS code in your child theme that display:none the post title, so what you see as the post title is not the real one but a line of text wrapped in H2 in the content area.

    Since the real post title is display:none, there is no clickable link that leads to the single post page. So we must remove the display:none from your child theme style. And when we did that the real title will lead to this page https://radicalurge.com/hello-world which is the single post page and there is commenting system going on there.

    I suppose you forgot or simply not aware that you need to change the permalink from hello-world to everything-is-connected as your real post title.

    Thank you for your concise explanation – very helpful.

    I had removed the blog title as the client wants the title below the feature photo, but I forgot about the linking part. Good to have a friendly reminder.

    @janburg No problems, I’m happy to help out the community when I can.

    In regard to your client wanting the title beneath the featured image, I believe the theme you are using (Genesis Frameworks) has ability to do that, but this forum is for themes hosted over here (wordpress.org) and WP related topic only, so what I can do is to encourage you to make use of your theme’s support channel on this matter. Just ask them how to switch post title and post image.

    On a separate note, please make sure the logo (site header image) looks okay both in desktop and mobile device. Using Chrome’s web dev tool here, I could see the site header image gets cut off in mobile version.
