  I am having an issue with the comments section of my blog. When a visitor scrolls to the bottom of a post, the comments are not visibly displayed. The visitor must click on the “comments” button to see other comments and leave their own. If you go to the bottom of this post, you’ll see what I mean: https://www.generatemagic.com/category/productivity/. This is a problem because the comments button is barely visible. How do I fix it so that the comments are visibly displayed and aren’t hidden behind a button?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  On WordPress.com hosted sites, comments are displayed on individual blog posts and not on the home page or category/ archive pages.

  However, you are using WordPress.org software on a third-party hosting service. Suggest you head over to https://wordpress.org/support/ to see if you can find a solution to display comment box on the home page or category/ archive pages.

  To add to @akumarjain’s reply you need to contact WordPress.org support rather than the WordPress.com link he provided which leads to a “page not found” message for me .
  This forum offers help just for sites hosted here at WordPress.com such as
  http://katefindley.wordpress.com. The site you are asking about is hosted by BlueHost and will be using the WordPress.org software. There are some similarities but many differences about the way the two platforms operate.
  Some themes make comments more obvious than others. On your theme it appears that you have to click on the post title to reach the comments box.
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/com-vs-org/
  WordPress.org support may well have a forum devoted just to your theme. Is it Dara in which case:

  Oops! My bad @themagicrobot. Think I need a cup of coffee right now. Thank you for correcting me.

  Thanks, guys! I thought I was on the Dara forum…I guess not. I appreciate the link! As far as WordPress.org goes, unfortunately I already contacted them for support and they were no help. They actually sent me here!

  Hi @findleykate, there is a Dara support forum at WordPress.org where you can post for help on your site.
