  For some reason the Discussion Module is not showing the option to uncheck ‘Allow Comments’ on each page. I do have the Discussion checked in the Screen Options. My client set this up and inadvertently did ‘something’ so this is not working. It’s not the Theme as I’ve used the same Theme elsewhere and it’s fine. Any ideas on how this can be fixed?
  Thanks!

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

  Go to users > all users and see what “role” is listed for your username.

  I signed in under the clients name – just added me as an administrator also just in case – but no change. I think this problem may be because he deleted the original default Home page. I added another Home page but…I’ve tried switching Themes but it doesn’t seem to matter.

  Thanks so much for any ideas…

  Go to the top right hand corner of your Admin page and click “screen options”. Be sure to select all the modules there.

  All modules are checked. Do you think it’s the Home page issued mentioned above? Is there any way to rectify this without starting completely over?

  Thanks

  Can you take a screen shot of it for us, upload that to your media library and then post a link to that screenshot?

  Also, is this the site you are talking about, http://flintaero.wordpress.com/ ?

  Yes, it’s http://flintaero.wordpress.com
  Well, I did discover a work around. Since I am also an Administrator, when I sign in with my user information and opened the flintaero site, it looks normal and so I was just able to uncheck the Comments box on all of his pages. Going back in under client’s sign in it still does not show this option! SO whenever he creates new pages I’ll have to do this – luckily shouldn’t be too often after we get this set up. Here are the 2 screen shots for your viewing in case you have another suggestion: http://flintaero.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/commentstop.png and http://flintaero.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/commentsbott.png
  THANKS!

  Check the client’s role at users > all users. Only admins can make changes like that as far as I know. Perhaps editors can also. I’m not entirely sure.

  Since the site is set to private, I cannot view the images.

  We are both set as Administrators…I uploaded 2 pictures of the strange page, top and bottom, to my wordpress site which is public: http://saraohara.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/commentstop.png and http://saraohara.files.wordpress.com/2011/08/commentsbott.png

  Thanks again!

  I see the discussion module in the bott image. Did you click on the right end of the title bar for that module to expand it?

  Under “writing help” is your “discussion” module.
  as you hover your mouse over the right side of that “discussion” bar a triangle should be visible.
  click on that triangle.
