  Hello! I recently switched from RYU to the Illustratr theme. I love it except for one thing, it appears I cannot enable comments on my portfolios projects nor add some share Buttons.

  I tried to see if there was anything in the setting section before posting but didn’t find anything.

  Can you please help me ?

  Thanks!

  Hello, I have the same request as helloimtea !
  I love the way portfolio featured images display on the front page, but I’d really like to have comments on the portfolio page. My blog is urbanarmor.org. Do we need a CSS upgrade?

  Hi,

  According to the theme’s code, it seems like it allows comment on a Portfolio item’s single post view:

  <footer class="entry-meta">
  		<?php
  			/* translators: used between list items, there is a space after the comma */
  			$tags_list = get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'jetpack-portfolio-tag', '', __( ', ', 'illustratr' ) );
  			if ( $tags_list ) :
  		?>
  			<span class="tags-links"><?php printf( __( 'Tagged %1$s', 'illustratr' ), $tags_list ); ?></span>
  		<?php endif; ?>
  
  		<?php if ( ! post_password_required() && ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) ) : ?>
  			<span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'illustratr' ), __( '1 Comment', 'illustratr' ), __( '% Comments', 'illustratr' ) ); ?></span>
  		<?php endif; ?>
  
  		<?php edit_post_link( __( 'Edit', 'illustratr' ), '<span class="edit-link">', '</span>' ); ?>
  	</footer><!-- .entry-meta -->

  The rule is to show the comment link if the post is not password required, and the comments are open on your site. Can you guys check whether you have comments open or not in your sites?

  Yup, found another piece of code here: https://wpcom-themes.svn.automattic.com/illustratr/single-jetpack-portfolio.php

  You will need to have comments open so the comment area shows up.

  Thanks hafizr,

  I’m actually not sure where to open the comments, regular posts clearly have an option to open comments, but the project pages do not.

  Also, to clarify, I don’t want to comments on the portfolio page, just on the individual projects that appear on that page.

  Sorry If I am missing something obvious, thanks for your advice!

  Yeah, this is what I was referring to as well.

  So I tested and tried it but couldn’t get the comment to show up either. Weird! Seems like a bug to me. I’ll write a bug report and see if the Staff can check what’s wrong.
