  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments. Check those setting carefully.

  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any post or page.

  Edit the post in question and confirm that these two boxes below the editor in the Discussion Module are checked off and enabled:
  __Allow comments.
  __Allow trackbacks and pingbacks on this page.
  Then click “Update”
