Title: Comment function disappeared Last modified: August 19, 2016 --- # Comment function disappeared * Resolved [graleh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graleh/) * (@graleh) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/) * Hi, * I just noticed that the comment funcion on my site is gone. I had only been updating some pages, nothing more. * I cannot give you any further information, since I haven’t done anything more than just updating pages and I have not touched the comment-box on each page. * I have tried to overwrite my theme files (evening-shade) with fresh ones, but still no comment field at the end of each post. I thought that if I reset the files, the comment function will appear again but I was wrong :(. * Does anyone know what could be the problem? * Thanks in advance! * Kind regards Emelie.

I looked at the settings now and the comment function is still on. * Moderator [Kathryn Presner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/zoonini/) * (@zoonini) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916220) * Then I suggest you provide a link to your site and copy the contents of your single.php, index.php & comments.php files in [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/) so someone can have a look directly. * Thread Starter [graleh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graleh/) * (@graleh) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916221) * I have now installed and activated another theme and deleted the theme evening- shade. I uploaded a fresh version of evening-shade again but then the comment function disappeared again! Even though it’s a fresh version. * Straaaange.. * Thread Starter [graleh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graleh/) * (@graleh) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916222) * ah, let’s have a try: * single.php: [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/Ad2KLDsU](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/Ad2KLDsU) index.php: [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/a7E2rt01](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/a7E2rt01) comments.php: [http://wordpress.pastebin.com/6v0ngTv9](http://wordpress.pastebin.com/6v0ngTv9) * the url is [http://www.undine.se](http://www.undine.se) it’s in swedish but I guess the content is not neccessary 😉 * thanks! * [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * (@chipbennett) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916352) * It appears that your homepage is a static page. Do you have comments enabled for Pages? * I can’t find where you’ve got your blog posts. But then, I can’t read Swedish, and GoogleTranslate is failing me. 🙂 * Thread Starter [graleh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graleh/) * (@graleh) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916353) * Thanks for your answer, Chip 🙂 * I have no posts, I use pages only. I want my homepage/start page to be a static page, since I do not want to use my site as a blog, just a simple home page with static pages about me and my services and interests. * The comment function works in other themes, it’s just in this theme the comment function isn’t working :/ * So I have all comment functions enabled in settings and on each page I want the function to be enabled in 🙂 * **Edit:** I tried to enable that the start page will show my latest posts and then the comment function actually shows beneath the post!! Wohoh. * But it does still NOT show in pages! :/ I want ppl to leave comments on my pages as well 🙂 * [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * (@chipbennett) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916354) * Can you post a pastebin of your page.php template file? My guess is that it may be missing the call to `comments_template()`. * Thread Starter [graleh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/graleh/) * (@graleh) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916355) * Yep, that’s correct 🙂 THANKS A LOT 🙂 * I studied some working themes and in page.php the * `comments_template();` * function was missing so I simply inserted it in my evening-shade theme. Voilá! * <3 thanks again <3 * [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * (@chipbennett) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916356) * Glad you got it working! 🙂 Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) The topic ‘Comment function disappeared’ is closed to new replies. ## Tags * [Comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/comments/) * In: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) * 10 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Chip Bennett](https://wordpress.org/support/users/chipbennett/) * Last activity: [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-function-disappeared/#post-1916356) * Status: resolved ## Topics ### Topics with no replies ### Non-support topics ### Resolved topics ### Unresolved topics ### All topics
