my comment box is missing!
-
Why is my usual comment box not showing up? It disappeared last week and today I tried to fix it but my settings are already correct as far as I can tell. I added a “comment box” but all that does is send to my e-mail…what’s the deal? I want my usual comment box back!
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Hello there,
All WordPress blogs by default have comments open on all Pages and Posts. You can enable and disable comments on free hosted WordPress.com blogs on this page > Settings > Discussion
Discussion settings is where you set up defaults for comments.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/settings/discussion-settings/You can override the default settings and enable or disable future comments on any individual post or page.
http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/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

P.S. What you added was a contact form, not a comment box and you will need to remove it. http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

Thanks for the contact form heads up. I removed it. But the real trouble is that I have my setting correct…and the comment thing just vanished last week and I can’t get it back! I truly think my settings are right according to the link you gave me – the discussion settings are all enabled…

If you go to the post/page in question and go into the Dashboard editor, you can scroll down to click on the checkbox to turn comments on. You will need to then save the post/page or update it if it’s already published, and the comments box will appear again.

I apologize for being dense. I don’t mean to be a bother. I checked that and the box is already checked. I never had changed it, it just suddenly isn’t showing up! I don’t understand. I just want my comments back. It allowed ME to comment – and the comment showed up – a test comment that I left – but when I deleted it, it was back to not showing the comment option. Can you look at it or something and see if somehow it can be fixed? Thank you. Gretchen
