  I need to add the standard WP comments box to existing pages. When I create a new page, it has the comment box. But I must have deleted it on old pages. How can I get it back? Is there a standard code I could use?

  You’ll need to enable comments on the existing pages by following the steps at https://wordpress.com/support/comments/#on-a-post-or-page

  Thanks macmanx. Unfortunately, that doesn’t work. I must have actually deleted the comments box before. I already have it set to ‘allow comments’, but there is no actual box. I’ve been trying to sort this for two days. I guess my only option is to pay a web designer.

  Hello there,

  I notice you’re using Elementor for posts and pages.

  Are there settings within this plugin that may need to be activated perhaps? https://elementor.com/help/post-comments-widget/

  I hope this is a useful breadcrumb to help find a solution. :)

  Hi aleone89,

  Thanks for your reply. Yes I’m using Elementor. I will have a look at the settings and see if there is anything that can be activated there.
