  I’ve recently published a private site for creative writings, and I would like to enable peers and other visitors to leave public comments underneath the blog page (where my content is).
  I cannot find anything, how can I do?

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

  Hi,

  Are you referring to the site https://lebaiserdelanemone.wordpress.com/? If so, the “Blog” item in the menu on that site links to its homepage. However, the homepage (slug=”blog-2″) appears to be a static page rather than the blog page, i.e., the page on which the latest posts are displayed. I was unable to find your blog page.

  I did find that comments were enabled at the following locations on your site:

  1. The static homepage, where there is one published comment.
  2. The post “Writing the Body.” This is presently the only published post on the site.
  3. The static page https://lebaiserdelanemone.wordpress.com/blog/, which despite the “blog” slug is not the blog page (posts page).

  Regardless of the theme being used the following support pages may be helpful to a site administrator:

  • Manage Comments
  • Enable and Disable Comments for Published Posts and Pages
  • Enable and Disable Comments for Future Posts
  • Who Can Comment

  Typically on WordPress.com themes comments are displayed, if enabled, on single posts and not (for practical reasons) on the blog page. However, the blog page may include links to comments on each post in the corresponding metadata.

  If you want comments to be displayed on the blog page (latests posts page), I don’t know if that’s possible on the Hever theme, or on most WordPress.com themes. You may add a “modlook” tag to the sidebar of this topic to call for staff attention if you’d like to ask staff about that possibility.

  Alternatively, the P2 theme is designed to allow comments to be displayed on the blog page, as I’ve explained in the topic Inline comment display?

  Thank you, seems clearer to me, I am still unfamiliar with all the different settings on here.
  Sorted!

  My pleasure. When you set a static page as the homepage, then your blog page (aka “posts page”) is set at Customize > Homepage Settings > Posts page.
