Title: comments box, magazine basic theme Last modified: August 21, 2016 --- # comments box, magazine basic theme * Resolved [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/) * I am using magazine basic theme. I checked the appropriate boxes in discussion under settings yet I do not see the comments form at the end of my articles. Can someone tell me how to fix it?

If you do not see this pane, click Screen Options at the very top of the page and check “Discussion”. * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735426) * esme, I have checked “allow comments” and also “comments” box in Screen Options. In screen options, there is no Discussion box. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735427) * There are no “allow comments” or “comments” boxes in Screen Options. Just a checkbox( amongst others) labelled “Discussion”. * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735428) * esmi, I checked the box, “anyone can post comments” box. Still, there is no comments box on each post page, as suggested by c bavota. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735437) * Can you replicate the problem using the default theme with **all** plugins deactivated? * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735440) * esmi, I think you got me there. I am not that computer-savvy. I am not sure what you mean by default theme. There are only two plugins – akismat and Jetpack by WordPress.com. Do you suggest I delete them? I appreciate the time you’re taking to help me. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735443) * Go to Appearance -> Themes and activate the Twenty Twelve theme. * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735446) * Okay. I activated Twenty Twelve theme. Still no comments box. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735447) * Can we see your site please? * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735448) * Yes. please. URL is [http://thulika.net](http://thulika.net). * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735452) * Edit [http://thulika.net/dr-nayani-krishna-kumari-a-distinguished-scholar-by-nidadavolu-malathi/](http://thulika.net/dr-nayani-krishna-kumari-a-distinguished-scholar-by-nidadavolu-malathi/) and ensure that “Allow comments” is checked. * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735453) * I am sorry. That did not work either. Still no comments box. I don’t mind giving you id and password if it helps. * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735454) * Or, I may have to go back to my earlier theme. It gave me comments box, although, I found this theme serves my purpose better. Mine is a literature site, not business. * [esmi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/esmi/) * (@esmi) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735455) * Please do not give login information out to _anyone_ on these forums. You should only share that information with a web developer that you have employed after vetting them thoroughly. * Can you try creating a new admin user on your site, logging in as that user and then editing that post? * Thread Starter [thulika](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thulikanet/) * (@thulikanet) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-box-magazine-basic-theme/#post-3735457) * Thank you for your suggestion about login info. I should have known. I will try a new admin user and editing the post. Probably, it will take a while, but I will keep trying.
