  I am trying to make sure people can comment on my posts. (I am having students comment on them). But I am not seeing an option to write a comment below my first post. How do I make sure that is available to them?

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

  @wpaurorautasic thanks for providing that link.

  @mshagansworldlit Just to clarify, you shouldn’t need to change your settings as comments are permitted by default. However, please check your site’s Discussion Settings in your dashboard so that they show as enabled. https://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  Since your first post was published over two weeks ago, you might also want to check the setting “Automatically close comments on articles more than XX days ago” so that it is unchecked or for a longer period if checked.

  Let us know if you need more help with this.

  The two week option was what was wrong! Thank you so much!
