  RE: Discussion settings.
  My comment form is absent on older posts but I never selected ‘close comments’ option on old posts.
  Please restore my comments feature.

  WP.com: Yes
  Correct account: Yes

  Hi,

  That’s not something we would have changed. Nor do we have a way to bulk-open comments. You’ll just need to re-open the comments on any posts that have them closed.

  Can you share an example of an old post where the comments have gotten closed?

  note – tried rebooting re-sign in …

  I can add comments to recent posts not to this old one –

  Pope John Paul II’s Attempted Assassination Intended To Help Cover Up Reagan’s

  I use comments to add related material on my old posts.

  I enabled comments for that post from https://flyingcuttlefish.wordpress.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=3889&action=edit

  On the side bar menu, at the bottom, select Discussions, and clicked the Allow Comments box.

  Let me know if that fixed the problem.

  thank you. It now seems fixed.
  The box did not appear unchecked at my end and I made no settings changes.
