No 'comments box' showing up on our daily prompt pingback posts???

    Hi,
    Our blog (www.mumsthewordblog.com) is hosted by Bluehost using Jetpack using Nucleare Free Theme, we post daily using the Daily Prompt word & linking the post to the daily prompt area. None of our posts show a comments box for people to comment on our post. They have to physically go to our blog page to make a comment on the post there. Can you please advise if there is a plugin or widget that we can use to fix this? We have been told by bluehost & jetpack that wordpress have advised them that at the moment WordPress don’t accommodate for the comments box to show for hosted sites when doing a pingback post to the daily prompt site, but will allow this to happen at some point in the future. In the meantime, can you please advise us of something we can use to fix this problem, as we feel we are missing out on so many comments with the way it is now. Thanking you, Tracey & Lis

    Howdy Tracey & Lis!
    The website you have http://www.mumsthewordblog.com is a WordPress ORG site
    your best way to get help is
    WordPress org Support

    You will have to register a new account there, if you dont have one.
    
To know the difference between

    WordPress Com vs WordPress ORG

    Also try this https://wordpress.org/search/comments+on+front+page/?forums=1
    To see if you get any useful information to find ways for commenting on the front page and not only on the Post page.
    You can try to look around there or in to forums there.
    This is just for WordPress.com folks.

    Let us know if you need any further information.

    Regards

    Hi,
    are you sure it’s a WordPress.org site? When I key in http://www.wordpress.com, it comes up with a reader page and our blog details are listed across the top of the page. It lists in the https address area ‘WordPress.com Automattic Inc.’ I believe we are a wordpress.com site and not a WordPress.org site. As mumsthewordblog1 , & as http://www.mumsthewordblog.com can you ask someone who can confirm this for us. We created our blog using Bluehost and we are using the Nucleare Free Theme. We do a daily post using the Daily Prompt word with a pingback back to the daily prompt page. On the daily prompt page or the WordPress.com reader page our post does not show a comments box below our story. We asked Blue host, Jetpack and Nucleare Free Theme about how we can get a comments box showing on our daily prompt word posts. They advised us that WordPress.com don’t have the option of a comments box for host sites showing up on the reader page at present, my question is, can we use something else in the meantime to fix this eg. a plugin or widget to fix this problem. We believe we are missing out on 100s of comments at the moment. Thank you for your time. Tracey and Lis from http://www.mumsthewordblog.com

    Hi again..!
    Yes absolutely sure, as you are aware its hosted on Blue Host, as mention in the support document here WordPress Com vs WordPress ORG 

    Focus on your beautiful content, and let us handle the rest.	WordPress.com Business Plan
Get the best of both worlds: the carefree ease of a managed platform while you focus on your content.	WordPress.org
Get your hands dirty, and host your website yourself.

    The first point says it, the reason you are seeing WordPress.com as the new Dashboard now allows you to manage your Self Hosted WordPress site, as it is connected using the JetPack.

    So its best you Post your question on the Forums at WordPress org Support

    You may not have an account, so you need to register one there, also I sent you a link above with some search results which might help you. I understand your concern, your missing out on Comments, and it adds innumerable value to blogging, but this forum is for WordPress.com folks, I hope you get a solution soon there, we have huge community there as well, where volunteers could help you.
    Hope you get a solution soon.
