acivate grid

Hi!
I can’t seem to find where I activate the grid appearance for the theme Edin.
Thank you for your help.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi,
Do you mean that you want to assign the grid page template to a page so that it will look like the “Grid Page” in the Edin demo? If so, then simply create a page, or go to the editor of a chosen page, and then assign the Grid Page template in the Page Options module.
-
Thank you I found it.
Next question: I have 7 grid pages but only 3 appers on the front Page. How do I get it to show all 7..?Big Thanks in advance!
-
You’re welcome.
I have 7 grid pages but only 3 appers on the front Page.
All of the child pages of a page with the grid page template assigned should display in the grid. I see six pages in your front page grid. Have you resolved this issue?
-
Yes Thank you. I have six and it worked out.
One last question. How do I add a form to leave testimonials on my testimalian Page (it says “OMDÖME” in the meny. I want clients to be able to write their own testimonials.
Thank you so much in advance!

How do I add a form to leave testimonials
The Testimonials support page doesn’t mention such a form and I’ve never heard of one. I don’t believe there is one. Must admit, though, that I haven’t given much thought to where testimonials come from. I assumed they were copied and pasted excerpts from comments left on the site, or from messages received through other social media.
In order to give a visitor the ability to write his or her own testimonial, I believe it would be necessary to assign a User Role, of the level “Contributor” or higher. However, I’m not sure that testimonials are included in the “Contributor, and “Author” roles, since only posts are mentioned in the User Roles support page.

Ah…! Have I maybe confused “comments” and “testimonials” in the translation to Swedish…?
Let’s go about it from another angle then. If I want clients to be able to leave comments about my courses (each child page), what do I have to do?
And is there any nifty way to collect and display all the different comments in one place/one page.?
Thanks again for your help (I’m getting there… 😊)

Hi,
There are different necessary steps to be taken to enable comments on previously published posts and pages, and on future posts and pages, respectively. See the following support pages corresponding to these two cases:
- Enable and Disable Comments for Published Posts and Pages
- Enable and Disable Comments for Future Posts and Pages
And is there any nifty way to collect and display all the different comments in one place/one page.?
I’ve looked at some other topics dealing with this question recently, and as I recall the answer was no. There is no way that I’m aware of to move comments from one page or post to another. Therefore, you can’t collect a group of them in one place to be displayed.
-
Thanks! I found the “enable comments” Box. But I get an infobox telling Me that I have to add a form for comments first. That form does not appear automatically as the help-text says it will.
And the only form I can find to add on the Page is a “contact-form”, not a comment-form. (Have a look at “GLAMout”).
How do I add a comment form?
Thank you!
-
The ability to comment is enabled on GLAMout. However, you’ve evidently checked the box “Comment author must fill out name and email” at Discussion Settings > Other comment settings. Comments are disabled on a couple of other pages I checked.
But I get an infobox telling Me that I have to add a form for comments first…How do I add a comment form?
I’ve never heard of a “comment form” which can or must be added.
You may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention if this continues to be an issue. -
Ok…. So the form “add a contact”-form (the @ in the toolbar), is that what I’m supposed to use…?
That form doesn’t look like the “leave a comment”-form that shows in the help Section.
And it sends Me an e-mail, instead of leaving a comment on the Page.The big question is, is there TWO different forms, one for contact (sends email) and one for comments (leaves comment on Page).
If yes, how do I add the “comment” instead Of contact”?
Or is it that a “contact” becomes a “comment” first when I need to approve it (have NOT checked the “manuelly approv comment”-Box.) by email?
Thank you!
-
The big question is, is there TWO different forms, one for contact (sends email) and one for comments (leaves comment on Page).
The contact form is completely unrelated to comments.
But I get an infobox telling Me that I have to add a form for comments first.
I’ve seriously never once heard of a form for comments that can or must be added.
-
Ok, Good we cleared that out. Then we have circled the problem:
When I check the “allow comments” no comment form appears? Not while “inside” edditing the Page, or “outside” after “uppdate”.
What is wrong then?
-
Comments are enabled on the two posts, and on some pages. Oddly, the pages on which comments are enabled are still requiring that the “Comment author must fill out name and email” whereas the posts are not. It is my understanding that this is a universal setting which should apply to all posts and pages. I’m going to flag the topic for staff attention. A staff member will have access to your site and be able to sort out the problem quicker than I would. Please wait for staff to respond.

You’re welcome. Best to you.
I forgot that due to a recent policy change comments on pages are always disabled by default, and have to be allowed manually on each separate page by placing a check at “Allow comments” in the Discussion module of the page editor. That’s not the case with posts. However, you seem to be taking the proper steps to enable comments on pages.
When I check the “allow comments” no comment form appears? Not while “inside” edditing the Page, or “outside” after “uppdate”.
-
I think what you refer to as a “comment form” is what I would call a “comment box” or “comment field.”
-
Yes you are correct. The direct Swedish translation would say “form”, but yes, it is a comment Box / comment field I’m looking for.
And I say your other post, that they have to be enabled manually, but as you can see I have done that and no comment Box appears. I hope some staff member can answer what I need to do to make it appear.
Thanks!

Hi! You know, most websites (vs blogs) have comments on individual pages disabled by default. I actually would recommend a contact form for this — that way people can email their testimonials or questions. You can decide which ones you’d like to use on your site, and which ones you’d prefer to answer via email.
Here’s how to add a contact form (one page for questions or comments that won’t be auto-published) :
http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/About the comment forms (for comments on each page or post)
– I don’t recommend enabling them on pages
– Some page templates (like grid pages) probably won’t show a comment form anyway, but you can experiment with this if you definitely want comments on the pages.
For example, I can see one of your child pages is set to Grid Page. Unless you’re going to put another grid on that page, you’ll want to go ahead and change its template. Then you’ll get a form.
– I’m not seeing the form showing the email required on some pages and not required on others, but if you can link me to where you’re seeing that we’ll check it out.
I hope that helps!

@ supernovia,
– I’m not seeing the form showing the email required on some pages and not required on others, but if you can link me to where you’re seeing that we’ll check it out.
I think you may be referring to part of one of my posts where I said,
Oddly, the pages on which comments are enabled are still requiring that the “Comment author must fill out name and email” whereas the posts are not.
When I first looked I found two pages — now I find only one, FabClub — with three different fields in the comments area, labeled Name, Email, and Comment (måste anges), respectively. I hadn’t translated “måste anges,” which means “required,” and I presumed that all three of the fields were required. The name and email field would only be required if “Comment author must fill out name and email” was checked, so my thinking went.
Single posts, on the other hand, have instead a single comment field labeled “Kommentera.” I’d never previously seen or noticed differences between comment formats for posts and pages on the same theme.
