I can’t write comments to new articles (no add comment link available). I use WordPress 3.4.
I checked the discussion properties and they are set to
- allow guests to comment articles
- none of the other (relevant) options are checked
I have the feeling that comments aren’t available since I installed some plugins. But I tried deactivating some with no success in activating comments again.
Suggestions?
Comments might have been closed once. If you change this option later globally it doesnât affect existing posts when comments were turned off per post. To test if comments really work create a new post and enable the discussion meta box on that screen:
If you can comment while all plugins are disabled and the theme is TwentyEleven (default) â then everything works as expected.
@toscho is right, you might have been disabled the comments for individual posts.
However if you want to enable comments for all your old posts you accidentally disabled, you can use following MySQL query to do it once instead editing each post manually.
Notice – This will enable comments for all your posts not the pages.
Warning – Don’t forget to backup your database before using this query.
