  I have checked the box enabling comments on old and new posts. I do not see the update button nor does the comment box appear at the bottom of each post.

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

  Hello,

  When you check the box under “Settings > Discussion” for “Allow people to post comments on new articles,” it only automatically enables commenting on new posts you create.

  To enable commenting on existing Posts, you have 2 options:
  1. You can enable this on many posts at once using the “Bulk Edit” functionality:

  2. You can enable this in the Post Edit screen by making sure to show the “Discussion” options in “Screen Options,” then checking the box to allow commenting:
  https://en.support.wordpress.com/screen-options/

  Please let me know if this helps, thanks!
