• Greetings.

    I am having trouble configuring my site such that: “Comments” is enable for each and every PAGE and POST.

    First, I found out that: since Version 4.3, WordPress has disabled “comments” by default. So, if one wants to enable comments, it has to be done in one of 2 ways :

    (a) by downloading a certain plug-in, to reverse this;
    (b) by manually enabling comments on every page

    I installed the plug-in which WP offered as a solution. However, this did nothing.

    So, I had to manually enable comments on every page of my website (which was tiring, as I had almost 70 pages)

    Well, I got it done (under Screen Options). So, now, it works for all my pages.

    But, it does not work for “Posts”. I have a default page which displays when I open my site. This page holds every article which is posted to the site, by default.

    But, the comments-box is not displaying, even though I did the same thing: Enabled it under Screen Options.

    What could the problem be ??

    Also, double check they are turned ON in the Settings->Discussion section too.

    Yes, they are turned ON there, too

    That was the first thing I did

    Have you tried:
    – Flushing any caching plugins you might be running, as well as server and/or browser caches. Not just your browser, but any op cache or content network cache as well such as Cloudflare. That will solve many weird JavaScript issues.
    – deactivating ALL (yes all) plugins temporarily to see if this resolves the problem (plugin functions can interfere). If this works, re-activate them individually (one-by-one) to find the problematic plugin(s).
    resetting the plugins folder by FTP.
    – switching to the unedited default Theme (Twenty Sixteen, etc.) for a moment using the WP dashboard to rule out any theme-specific issue (theme functions can interfere like plugins).
