Comments box
-
My current theme is ‘Libretto’ I like it and am considering going ‘pro’, but I have a concern. There is no comments area that I can find. Does this theme not allow comments? If so I will have to do some more research. Thanks for any help you can provide.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi Susannasays,
Can you follow the steps found here: Enable and Disable Comments to make sure that you have comments enabled on your posts?
Let me know if the comment area is still not showing up after you follow the steps outlined above.
Thanks!

Hi again susannasays,
Thank you for double checking for me :)
When I look at the site https://susannasays.wordpress.com/ I see that users can leave a comment on your posts by clicking the “Leave a Comment” Link next to the date under each post title. This will direct them to the comment box on the individual post page.
Each individual post page is currently showing a comment box under the text “Leave a Reply” at the bottom of the page.
Are you able to see these comment boxes?
Let me know!

Comments are collapsed on the front pages of our sites and this cannot be changed. We click the title of the post and scroll to the end to find the comment box when the post is displayed on its own page.
In a new blog, one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog with many comments if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.
If you click a post title and cannot see the comment box that I can see then act on all the tips here https://en.support.wordpress.com/browser-issues/ first.

https://susannasays.wordpress.com/ is using the Penscratch2 theme where the comments link is clearly visible.
The Libretto theme is one of those minimalist ones where you need to click on the title of each post to reveal the comments box. -
May I please ask if you are a Staff wannbe on trial to get onto Staff? If the answer is yes I will stop posting into any threads you post into and leave it to Staff to follow your threads and make corrections and additions where required.

That is my goal, but right now I am just a volunteer, here to help and learn :)
Thank you for the additional information!

Thanks for the response and best wishes. I am a longtime Volunteer (over 11 years) who predates the support docs and all support staff being on staff except forone member. I am visually challenged and I often rely on pre-written responses because I type slowly and because most questions are repetititve. You will know when I am already in a thread because this tag will be in the sidebar “timethief is in this thread.”.

It is an honor to meet you! I will keep a look out for your tag. I look forward to learning more from you and continuing to help the community :)

Thanks for all your help. I finally just switched themes and boom…everything I needed appeared. I am nearly ready to “go pro”… Big step for me.
