I can't enable comments.
-
My last two posts say comments are off. I have tried everything and can’t re-enable comments. I checked how to enable/disable and still can’t turn comments on.
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hi there,
I see that you have comments enabled for new posts under Settings > Discussion in your dashboard. However, the comments for those two published posts are disabled, so you’ll need to specifically enable them on those posts.
Here’s one way to do that:
- Go to the Posts > All Posts screen in your blog’s dashboard.
- Select the posts you want to modify (or check the box next to “Title” column at the top to select all posts on that page).
- Select Edit from the Bulk Actions drop down menu.
- Click the Apply button.
- Change the options for Comments and Pings to Allow.
- Click the Update button.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns about that. :)

Hi yourself, and THANKS!! Your cure worked fine, and showed me how to do something new on my blog. I really appreciate your help.

You’re very welcome! I’m so glad that worked and showed you something new that you can do. :) Happy blogging!

Hey, Rachel, when I did a new post last week, the comments still show as “off”, so I had to go back and re-enable. I have no idea why this should be, do you?
Thanks,

Hi Carol,
Sorry about that! When you created the new post, where did you write it? (Did you use the “Quick Draft” form in your dashboard, the post editor under Posts > Add New in your dashboard, the New Post page at WordPress.com, or something else?)
Our team just found a bug in “Quick Draft” form that’s causing a problem with comments, and we’re tracking that down now. If that’s how you usually write your posts, you may want to try one of the other methods for now to see if that works better. If you use a different method already, please let me know and we can investigate that, too. :)
