  Careercreatix:

  Go to the particular post you are trying to fix and hit edit

  on the top right side of your screen you will see a tab “screen options”
  click on that
  this should bring up a new box across the top of your screen
  click on discussion
  this should bring up a box under your actual text of the post titled “discussion”
  this is where you will see the two allow boxes – click “discussion” toggle if you don’t see it

  …WP should have at least said something on this one.

  Hope this helps
  John

  @dingtonia: Staff already said they fixed the problem. If however, you are still experiencing difficulties, it would be quicker if you contact staff yourself:

  I was still having trouble with this too – every time I tried to check “Allow comments” and “Allow trackbacks and pingbacks” under the Discussion module in the Editor box, the changes would not stick. BUT I just tried the Quick Edit option to enable “Comments” and “Pings” and when I hit Update, the changes actually stuck – as in, the comments are working now for that post.

  So quick fix: enable comments, etc through the Quick Edit feature. (Thanks to whoever mentioned this earlier!)
