 * I have a WordPress/Bluehost site. I cannot get comments to turn on.
 * I have followed every instruction, I have gone through each page and enabled 
   comments, I have gone to Discussion and enabled comments, I have refreshed and
   updated, and comments will not appear. I don’t know what else to do. My website
   says it has the latest version.
 * I don’t know if I need to add a block or something but comments does not seem
   to be a block. The instructions say comments should just appear once I enable
   them.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcannot-enable-comments-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * The settings under Settings > Discussion only set the default for future posts
   and pages.
 * For existing posts and pages, you’ll need to edit them to enable comments: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#turning-on-comments-for-a-single-post-or-page](https://wordpress.org/support/article/comments-in-wordpress/#turning-on-comments-for-a-single-post-or-page)

 * Yes, I have done that and literally nothing happens. Every page has comments 
   enabled except my homepage and none of them have comments.
 * I did Quick Edit – Allow Comments – Update. On each page. And nothing.

 * Ok, this may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and switch to the default Twenty Twenty-One theme. If the problem goes away, 
   enable them one by one to identify the source of the problem.
 * If you can install plugins, install [Health Check](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/).
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.

 * It looks like the problem is Bluehost Website Builder… I’m not sure what I’m 
   supposed to do about that. My website has comments if I turn it off, but it loses
   basically everything else.

 * Ah, in that case, I recommend contacting Bluehost about this: [https://www.bluehost.com/contact](https://www.bluehost.com/contact)
