  Hi, I am using the Sela Theme and I wanted to know how to make comments visible to anyone looking at the site.

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

  Hi fatgirlslim123,

  Go to your Discussion Settings and heck on “Allow people to post comments on new articles” and “Save Settings.”

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments-for-future-posts-pages/view-all/

  For already published articles, you will need to turn comments on on a per-post basis.

  I have done all of these things and i have a comment which I have approved but when i go on to the site you can’t see the comment. Not sure what I’m doing wrong! Do i need to change something else?

  Thanks for your help in advance.

  Hi Jennie, by the way, comments don’t depend on theme that you are using.

  Here are some helpful links:

  Also in your Discussion Settings, look at the Before a comment appearssection. Is Comment must be manually approved or Comment author must have a previously approved comment checked on?

  I logged out and then went onto the site and press the link to the specific article and the comment appeared! It seems they just don’t appear on the home screen where all the articles show up. A abit annoying :-(

  I wondered if you can help with something else seen as you have been so helpful with this. As I’m posting lots of difference things on here I would like to add a tab at the top (where it says home & about me) for Recipes. i know how to add the page but what i want is when i post a new post it goes on the home page (like normal) but also on the recipe page so people going to the site can click on recipes just to see that rather than have to scroll all the way down the page, does that makes sense. I know you can add categories but I dont think its clear enough.

  Thanks for your help in advance :-)

  Thank you.

  I would start a new thread so that myself or others can help you with this new topic.
