Twenty Seventeen Theme: Comments will not show
-
I cannot get a comment option on my blog postings.
Please can you advise how to get them added to my posts.
I have enabled comments in my Site Settings but they still will not display.The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

Are you referring to this WordPress site? http://mychina.alrite.me/
I can see the comments section on all the blog posts. Is there a specific page where comments is not showing up? Please link me to that and I can have a look at it and suggest further.
Extra information
Also, just to make things clear, http://mychina.alrite.me/ is a self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) site. Not a WordPress.com site.
The current community forums we are on is meant for questions related to WordPress.com account/sites.
For questions related to self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org), you will have to ask on self-hosted WordPress (WordPress.org) community forums. Note that you might need an account to post on self-hosted WordPress forums. You can create one here.

Strikebuys thank you for your reply – even if I am on the wrong forum.
I am desperate. I have no comments – I have tried multiple browsers – all the same – one blog ends and the next one goes on – there is no place for comments, likes etc (like I used to have on my Blogger blogs).I only have 2 menu items (pages) – Home and About. The Home page is my blog – and has no comments http://mychina.alrite.me/
The problem must be the Theme – since the WordPress settings are set up to allow comments – but this makes no difference.
I want people to comment, like etc my posts – but this is not possible.

Lex – please make sure comments are turned on under Settings > Discussion. Check the box next to “Allow people to post comments on new articles.”
For already-published posts, you’ll also need to manually turn on comments for each one, or use the bulk-edit tool to turn them on in a batch.

In 99.99999% of WordPress themes, comments are only displayed on single posts, like: http://mychina.alrite.me/2017/12/settling-in/ They are not displayed on the blog page, like http://mychina.alrite.me/blog/
