  In my posts the comment box to add or post comments does not show up. I have put all the settings right in the discussion setting and even in the post the allow comments option is checked. But the comment box doesn’t show up.
  would REally appreciate any help

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

  Even though you have full posts on the home page, readers still need to click on the individual posts to get to the comment form. Your comment forms are right where they should be.

  Comment boxes don’t appear on your front page by design. Image if you had hundreds of comments on each of your posts; readers would have to scroll a long way down through those comments to see the next post.

  When you click on either one of your posts, the comment box is there.

  This is not theme dependent, except for the P2 theme where posts and comments all appear on the front page. On all other themes, posts are displayed on the blog page with an invitation for readers to make a comment. They then view the post by itself, and the comments become visible.

  I have set to display the full posts on the home page.

  If you are talking about this setting:
  dashboard—>settings—>reading—>”For each article in a feed, show
  For each article in a feed, show | |Full text | |Summary
  Then please understand that is for how your RSS feed appears, not how your posts are displayed on the blogging page.
