Hi,

I have a blog page on my site Just called Posts. The page theme is blog. The posts are all there OK but there is no Post Comment field at the bottom. How do I add this? I’m also wondering if it is possible to add a post comment field after each blog post and not just at the end. Thanks a lot.

Hugh

    I Noticed I put the code below in my child theme as I am using a plugin for social media sharing. Is this the offending element by any chance.

    /*Hide Default Social Media Share Buttons – Using different Widgets for this */

    article.post .share-buttons, article.page .share-buttons {
    display: none;
    }

    /*Hide Default Social Media Share Buttons – Using different Widgets for this */

    Update the code above is not the problem. I made sure the “allow comments” tick box is ticked in quick edit, but the post field still doesn’t show up. The only place I have it is in a post loop I inserted a long while back into the default page theme. Inserting a post loop now in a new page or just creating a blog page doesn’t seem to bring up the post comments field.

    Thanks

    Hi Hugh

    Thanks for the wait and for keeping us updated on your progress.

    The comment form will only be found on your single post pages like this one: http://www.sanctifyme.org/beauty-and-mystery/heaven/.html.

    Splitting your posts up using either the read more tag or the excerpt is a way to get users off the blog page onto the single post page. If you use the more tag (http://en.support.wordpress.com/splitting-content/more-tag/) then set post content to full under Appearance > Theme Settings > Blog. If you want to use the excerpt field then set post content to excerpt under theme settings.

    Let me know your thoughts and we’ll go from there.

    Thanks Andrew. I’ll follow those instructions. It should work fine.
