 * I am using the Abtely theme.
 * Comments seems to be disbaled on my posts however:
 * 1) The setting in Discussion is set to allow comments.
    2) Every Post has Allow
   comments enabled 3) I ran UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = ‘open’, ping_status
   = ‘open’ WHERE comment_status = ‘closed’; on my database.
 * So I don’t understand why posts are still saying Comments Off.
 * Any ideas?

 * Have you tried switching to another theme to see if this is a theme issue?
