 * Hello. I am trying to enable comments on a website. I’ve tried all kinds of settings
   for subscribers, contributors, etc: moderate comments, edit posts, edit other
   posts, etc. and it doesn’t let me allow comments. I do have comments enabled 
   too within settings/discussion. Please help.

 * Hi,
 * There is no need to have any special user capabilities to post comments.
    – Check
   if comments are not disabled especially for that post – at the bottom of the 
   post editor page. – Try to change theme to 2014, may your active theme blocks
   comments. – Try to deactivate plugins to ensure that no one plugin blocks comments
   at your blog.

 * I’ve been struggling with readers not being able to leave comments, off & on,
   for months! I finally deactivated one of my plug-ins (iDienstler’s Tracking Code)
   and that allowed readers to start leaving comments again, but after just a couple
   of weeks, the comment ability ended once more. I’ve gone through my plug-ins,
   looking for what might be the problem and nothing is jumping up at me. My site
   is: Combustus.com (These are my plug-ins: Akismet; Select Better WordPress reCAPTCHA;
   CloudFlare; Duplicator, Easy WordPress Mailchimp Integration; Enhanced Search
   Box; Featured Image In Rss Feed; Google AdSense by BestWebSoft; Go Daddy Quick
   Set up; Google Analytics by Yoast; Google XML Sitemaps; Hotlink Protection; Jetpack
   by WordPress.com; WP Smush.it; WP101 Video Tutorials; WP-reCAPTCHA; WP-Optimize;
   WP-No-Format; WordPress SEO; WordPress Importer; WordPress Facebook Like Plugin;
   WordPress Backup to Dropbox; TinyMCE Advanced; TentBlogger Optimize WordPress
   Database Plugin; Strx Magic Floating Sidebar Maker; Sidekick.) Can you help please?
