  Please help, I’m tearing my hair out: I have commenting enabled under Settings > Discussion but when I go to my blog homepage it shows ‘Comments Off’. Where do I have to look to enable comments, please?

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

  There are two means of enabling comments The default settings are on the Discussions page. There you can choose to moderate all comments., moderate first time commenters only or not moderate (not recommended).

  You can overide the default settings on any page or post. On each post and each page you create you can also allow or disallow comments. Look below the editor box for the Discussion module on a post or page.

  To change this option for posts/pages you create in the future, look at the following options
  Discussion
  * Allow link notifications from other blogs (pingbacks and trackbacks.)
  * Allow people to post comments on new articles

  The site linked to your name is not a WordPress.COM blog.

  It appears that you are talking about a WordPress.ORG site. If so, then you are in the wrong forum:
  wp.COM is not wp.ORG

  @paperclipfox
  I am kicking myself because I did not click your username link before I answered you. If you are asking about the blog linked to your username then yopu are posting to the wrong support forum. We cannot help you because that’s not a free blog from and being free hosted by wordpress.COM. The correct forum for that blog is here > http://wordpress.ORG/support/

  Clarification – sticky post head of this forum > https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/please-read-me-first-before-posting?replies=1
