  Comments form is not showing on some posts. I have selected comments form to be displayed on every possible avenue, but some posts still do not show the comment form.

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

  Hi Anne,

  You’ve reached support for the free sites hosted at WordPress.com. Your site at circusberry.com is self-hosted so I’m not able to look into your site’s files.

  The first post I saw missing the comment option is this one:

  http://circusberry.com/2014/12/01/makeit-blogger-challenge-dollar-tree-gift-jar-and-santa-tag-printable/

  The only suggestion I can offer is to Edit that post, look for the “Discussion” module and make sure the comments button is checked as described here:

  http://en.support.wordpress.com/enable-disable-comments/

  That setting for any given post or page will override the default setting for your site.

  If the discussion module is checked there, there may be a plugin, some edit to your theme, or other customization interfering with the post. Since I cannot access your site I can’t immediately determine a cause.

  I’d recommend referring to the support forums and documentation here:

  http://wordpress.org/support/

  http://codex.wordpress.org/

  The community there may have more ideas as to what would cause the issue.

  Best,

  -Alex G.
