comment box not showing up on posts
-
Hi,
The comment box at the end of a post is not showing up on other people’s computers. It used to. So I’m not getting any comments.However, It shows up on mine when I review a post.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Click a post title and scroll to the end of the post. There you do see a comment box. Example https://josephdrumheller.wordpress.com/2015/06/08/why-am-i-so-stressed-ask-oneness-university-founder-sri-bhagavan/

All WordPress blogs have comments open on all pages and all posts by default. WordPress.COM comment boxes expand automatically to accommodate the text submitted.
You can enable and disable comments on posts on WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion
Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

I spotted another issue. On that same post this is the combined block of categories and tags you have assigned to the post:
This entry was posted in Alternative Medicine, Healing, Spirituality and tagged Alternative Medicine, body mind and spirit, Consciousness, Meditation, New Age, Oneness University, Personal Growth, self improvement, Spiritual Growth, Spiritual Healing, Spirituality, Sri Bhagavan, Stress.All reasons for non-appearance of posts on Topics pages can be found here > http://en.support.wordpress.com/topics/#missing-posts
As you have assigned a combined total that exceeds 15 Categories/Tags to your posts, you need to edit and delete. http://en.support.wordpress.com/posts/edit-posts-screen/ After removal of the excess categories and/or tags note it may take several days for your posts to begin displaying there.
You are are inadvertently spamdexing AKA tag spamming, you ought to be more concerned about your posts not appearing and being well ranked on Google and Bing SERPS (search results pages) than not appearing on the WordPress.com Topics pages because it’s search engines that send a significant flow of traffic to blogs and they can choose to bury your content where the sun don’t shine for that.
The rule of thumb is to assign to your posts the least, not the most, combined number of only relevant categories and tags that accurately describe the individual post content.
