  Hi Patricia!

  I’m looking at the most recent comments on your post “Corn and Squash Miso Soup”. The comments are currently appearing at the end of the post shown here:

  http://patriciajoybecker.com/2015/05/23/corn-and-squash-miso-soup/

  Can you let me know what comments you were referring to specifically? Also, just a note, if you’re checking out an archive page (a page with multiple posts) like this one:

  http://patriciajoybecker.com/category/nutrition/recipes/

  You will not see the actual comments for the posts. You will need to click on an individual post to see the comments.

  Thank you Jeremey…
  Yes those comments in the first link are what I am referring to.
  I do not understand archived?
  I want people to be able to see the comments when they visit the site.
  Nice to see the comments like we see the likes and shares! Right?!
  What is the best remedy?
  much appreciation
  Patricia

  Hi Patricia!

  I do not understand archived?

  An “Archive” just refers to a collection of posts rather than a single post. For example, this page contains all posts in the Recipes category:

  http://patriciajoybecker.com/category/nutrition/recipes/

  This page is another “Archive” of sorts:

  http://patriciajoybecker.com/posts/

  It displays all posts on your site rather than just the subset of a particular category.

  Comments are specific to the post that they were posted on. So, if you have an archive page like those mentioned above, you won’t see the individual comments. In order to see the comments, you have to visit the actual post page like this one:

  http://patriciajoybecker.com/2015/05/23/corn-and-squash-miso-soup/

  On the archive pages, you’ll see a link to the comment section for the particular post like this:

  http://d.pr/i/17bqb

  Does that help to clarify? On pages that display multiple posts, you won’t see the individual comments. You’ll need to visit the actual post to see the discussion!
