  I have checked in my settings that I want people to comment, but there is no place for them to do that on my page. How do I get a place for them to comment to show up on my blog page?

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

  • Copy link

  Click any post or page title and scroll to the end. Example: https://rebeccasmusingsblog.wordpress.com/2015/10/29/leviticus/

  Unless you use P2, a twitter-like theme comments are collapsed on the front page of the blog. The way the comments function is coded into the core of WordPress. By clicking the post title or the comments link the posts on the front page open on their own page where all comments display.

  In a new blog one does not have many posts or comments. In an established blog if the comments did not collapse on the front page it would become a mile long in no time flat and page loading time is a page ranking factor. We have only seconds before visitors refuse to wait and click out.

  If you are concerned readers will not find the comments section you can use a text widget http://en.support.wordpress.com/widgets/text-widget/ to tell them how to do that and place it at the top of your sidebar.
