  The ‘LEAVE A REPLY’ Widget at the bottom of my post is not always visible. I.E. When visitors click on a date on the calendar widget, they DON’T see the ‘LEAVE A REPLY’. Yet, when they click on a link to a post under ‘RECENT POSTS’ widget, the ‘LEAVE A REPLY’ is visible. I’d like the ‘LEAVE A REPLY’ visible at all times for my readers.

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

  This page > Settings > Discussion
  Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
  http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/

  We can also override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.

  Note: By default, new blogs on WordPress.com will have the Discussion hidden. You can reveal it by clicking on Screen Options http://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/ on the top right corner of your Admin page, and checking the box that says Discussion so the module is included. http://en.support.wordpress.com/modules/#list-of-modules

  Unless you use the P2 theme which is a Twitter-like theme, know that the front pages of our blogs “showcase content” and comments are collapsed on that page. You cannot change this. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.
