 * I am running a blog with a few different subject pages. This is one that is causing
   some serious hassles.
 * [http://www.people-in-need.com/category/social-issues/](http://www.people-in-need.com/category/social-issues/)
 * If the top post on the page is expanded, there is no option to leave a comment.
   
   If the second post is expanded, there is an option to reply. In the admin section,
   the page properties are set to “allow” comments.
 * this is doing my head in. Is there anybody who has any idea what could be casuing
   this, and how to get it to behave in such a way that comments are always allowed?

 * You may specifically allow or disallow comments inside every single different
   blog post. Maybe the option is un-ticked inside the first blog post, and ticked(
   as by default) in the other ones ?
 * Edit : I think I was unclear.
    – Open a post of yours. – Click to edit it (as
   editor or admin, whatever) – In the editing window, click Screen Options, in 
   the upper-right – That reveals a list of tickable elements. Inside this, tick
   the box called “Discussion” : this won’t allow or disallow commenting, this shows
   the options regarding commenting – you’ll see a new “box” appeared below your
   post, and in that one you may allow or disallow commenting
