  Hello, John

  Did you previously have that page set to not display comments? If so, changing the discussion settings won’t change that, as those settings are only applied to new posts and pages.

  To enable comments for an existing page, edit that page in the classic dashboard (WP-Admin dashboard ->Pages ->All Pages -> Quick Edit) and check the box next to Allow Comments: http://snag.gy/CLy7k.jpg Update the page.

  You can also click Edit and enable comments via the discussion module in the page editor.

  Hi kokkieh,

  Thank you, thank you, thank you. You have given me the perfect answer.
  I have done exactly what you said, and the comments field is showing on my pages.

  I spent all day yesterday trying to set up comments, but nobody was able to give me the answer that you just gave.

  Thank you once again.

  All is good now,

  Cheers JB
