  I receive an email notification when someone comments on my blog but when I go to my blog I can not see the comments. Under Settings-Discussion-“Before a comments appears”, the check boxes are not marked for “An Administrator must always approve the comment” or “Comment author must have a previously approved comment”.

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

  Thanks for your reply.
  I was expecting comments to appear on the main blog page under the each post without having to click on a post to see the comments, which takes you to a sub-screen where you can only see the photo and comments for that particular post. Is this because of the Theme I’ve chosen?

  You’re welcome.

  I never saw a theme that displays comments on the main page, all comments appear under the page or the post they belong too, usually.

  Not sure if there’s a theme that would let you do that.

  Only the P2 theme will do that, and it’s not a classic blog theme. If you get lots of comments, having them on the main page would stop people from scrolling down and reading your other posts.
