 * Hi,
    I’m fairly new to blogging and I am having a problem insert the option to
   leave comment on posts. I have activated them on the option Settings and Discussion,“
   Allow people to post comments on new articles”, but I still can’t see the option“
   leave a comment” where I go to the Blog.
 * Thanks for the help!

 * Also, where you create/edit posts or pages in admin, check if you have ticked
   comments for your posts/pages in the “discussion” box below the editor. If you
   don’t see the “discussion” box there, in the ‘screen option’ dropdown field (
   located near the top right), there are tick-boxes to show the ‘discussion’ box
   for the posts/pages. Tick mark it. In the ‘discussion’ box below the post/page
   editor, you can then allow/disallow comments for the page.

 * Thank you so much for the quick reply.
    I’ve followed your steps and now if I
   choose a post, I can now see the box to leave comment. However it does not show
   up on the main page, where we can read all the posts. Any ideas?
 * Again, thanks for the help

 * I recommend asking in this theme’s dedicated support sub-forum for better results.
   There you will be more likely to find a good answer from its developers/users:
