Comment section won't show on each post
-
Just set up this blog today. Libretto is the theme. I cannot get the reply block to show on all posts. Only if I click each title are comments allowed. I have gone to settings, and marked that I wanted comments allowed on each article. Thank you for your help. I’ve been with WordPress for years now. Love you . . .:)
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

That’s normal behavior. All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. Your visitors click the post titles or the comment links or comment bubbles on the front page of the blog, and they are directed to the full post appearing on its own page where the comment boxes appear at the end of the posts.
Note that comments are collapsed on the front page of the blog because if they were not then the blog would take ages, to load and that would mean visitors would click out, rather than waiting for the front page to load.
Additional information:
You can enable and disable comments on WordPress.com blogs on this page Dashboard > Settings > Discussion
That is where you set up defaults for comments and other comment options 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

Thank you for your help, Timethief. The problem is on the page where the visitor lands, there is no comment link, nor bubble. Only if you scroll through every post, will you find the reply section at the very end. No way to comment is shown at the end of each article. I’ve had visitors notify me that there was no place to comment. I have three other blogs. They all show a comment space. Perhaps I’m missing something.

I’m sorry but what I said above is correct. That’s normal behavior. It cannot be changed.

I’m not wanting to be hardheaded, but I just checked my other three blogs, and each of them has a place to comment on each article. Thank you for trying to help me.

Hi @shirleybuxton, some themes do support comments on the list of posts, but those are a bit rare. If you want to give that a try, try this one:
https://theme.wordpress.com/themes/p2-breathe/Also, I would say typically folks will “land” on individual articles rather than on the list. But if you need comments on the list page, that theme will work. Cheers!

Thank you for your assistance, Velda. I appreciate it so very much. I believe I have not made myself clear, and accept the blame for that. I am only wanting a place for reader to comment on each post, as nearly all themes do (as far as my experience lets me know.)The Libretto theme does not do that–at least on my computers. I’ve tried several times without success. It is a magnificent theme and I wish I could use it, but, alas, I have given up. I have changed to Independent Publisher which will work very well for my new blog. Again, thank you for your assistance.

Okay, I’m glad you’ve got a theme you’re happy with. I was finding comment boxes on each post in your theme before… just not on the lists of posts.
