  I have added a ‘Recent Comments’ widget to my blog. Though I have four comments on my first post (which is password protected), they are not displaying in the ‘Recent Comment’ Section of my home page; it simply says ‘There are no public comments available to display’. I think I have enabled all necessary items in other sections like Settings but could use some help to get it working.

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

  Hi,

  I think if the post is password-protected, the comments would be password-protected as well.

  You would have to change the post to public to show the comments.

  Hope that helps!
