my readers can’t leave comments but the settings are ok
-
A reader just wrote to me asking how to leave a comment, and the comment box seems to have disappeared from beneath the posts. Which might explain the lack of comments lately. I checked the settings/discussion and the box is checked to allow comments, so what is the problem?
The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

sorry, I thought that came through automatically when I posted my question.
-
Under “Settings>Discussion” is there anything under the “Automatically close comments on articles older than X days”?
-
Also check the “Allow Comments” option in the Discussion module of the post editor: it overrides the general setting.

Okay, the override suggested by panaghiotisadam seems to have worked. Now I guess I just have to pull up posts individually to fix the problem. Thanks.
justjennifer, there is nothing checked on the “automatically close comments on articles older than x days”

True, but pan’s suggestion also implies that you’ve clicked each post to disallow comments on that post.
If you haven’t done this, and as your first post suggests this was a recent change, I would recommend contacting Support directly with the problem. http://support.wordpress.com/contact/
