  Today I wrote and published a blog post but a few hours later I had an email from one of my readers, via the ‘contact’ form, asking if I’d disabled the comments for that post as she was unable to leave one. I haven’t altered anything on my blog in any way and looking at my settings etc everything is the same as previously so how do I find a way of letting my readers comment on this post?

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

  hi,

  Can you check that you did not accidentally disable Comments at the
  1. site :
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments-for-future-posts/ ?

  2. post :
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-and-disable-comments-for-published-posts-and-pages/

  Let us know if you have more questions.

  Hi euniceratcliffe,

  I’ve checked A special day out – the Coronation St. Tour and comments are not currently enabled for this post. They can be enabled with these steps:

  https://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-and-disable-comments-for-published-posts-and-pages/

  That should display a comment form at the bottom of this post.

  Thanks for your help guys, I followed the steps above and the comment form is now back, though I still don’t understand how it happened that comments got disabled on that particular post as I hadn’t altered anything. All sorted now though so I’m a happy bunny – thanks again :)
