  The comments box is not visible on new pages that I create. The new posts I create are fine, with comment boxes visible and comments enabled. The default setting for discussions is “Allow people to post comments on new articles”. I’m not sure what I’m doing wrong.

  I hope someone can help me enable comments on my pages.

  The blog I need help with is: https://thetotebag.wordpress.com/

  I’m having the same problem; some pages are OK, some aren’t yet they all look the same.

  Clarification: they look different on the outside but the same on the inside.

  Okay, I figured out that the only way I can enable comments is to go to the list of all pages and go to “quick edits” to check the “enable comments” box. Why or when the default switched to disable comments I have no idea. :)

  So it does. You’re a superstar. Thank you. The WordPress help should show this – I’ve been trawling that and Google.
