Title: Comments Section missing Last modified: October 24, 2023 --- # Comments Section missing * Resolved [ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * (@ulim) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/) * None of the blog posts that I can access under the URL [https://www.apothekarium.de/blog/](https://www.apothekarium.de/blog/) will display a “Comments” box, where the reader could write a comment. First of all: can anyone reproduce this or is my browser perhaps broken? But I tried it with Firefox as well as Chrome. * I have tried all the usual methods found by Google for this problem. The global setting to allow comments is enabled. The setting to automatically close comments for posts older than 14 days is disabled. Every blog post has the comments function enabled. * I did have the “Antispam Bee” plugin activated, but just now I deactivated it and that hasn’t changed anything. * I don’t really think that this is a Blocksy problem, but here’s the best place I know where I could ask for advice. Many thanks in advance for any pointers. - This topic was modified 2 years, 7 months ago by [ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/). * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fcomments-section-missing-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * [Eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cteduard/) * (@cteduard) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17148549) * Hello [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * Hmm, there can be many things at play here that can hinder the comments functionality. * First off, I would recommend checking out your installed plugins. Maybe there’s one that might affect this workflow. * Secondly, do you happen to have any code snippets added to the mix? * Please try to check these two first and let me know how it went. * Thanks. * Thread Starter [ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * (@ulim) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17150556) * Hello [@eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eduard/), * I have no plugins related to comments except Antispam Bee and I deactivated it. I also don’t have any extra code snippets, only some additional CSS. But that would only hide the comments, but not remove them from the page entirely. * For example, on this page there is an element with id “comments”: * [https://www.hostpress.de/blog/gutenberg-der-wordpress-block-editor/](https://www.hostpress.de/blog/gutenberg-der-wordpress-block-editor/) * But on my page this id does not even exist. There is only a comment-reply JavaScript. * [Eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cteduard/) * (@cteduard) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17150615) * Hi [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * Hmm, let’s try one thing. Would it be possible to snapshot your site and send it our way in order to see what went wrong by analysing it on our localhost setups? You can use this handy plugin to take a snapshot – [https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/) * Thanks. * Thread Starter [ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * (@ulim) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17150623) * [@eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eduard/), I can do that, but the file is 577 MB. I suppose you don’t really need all the images etc. but I don’t know how to export a smaller file. * [Eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cteduard/) * (@cteduard) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17150628) * [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) – wetransfer.com should have a 2gb limit. That specific plugin is recommended (which does not have selective export) because it hasn’t failed us in thousands of website transfers. They should give you an unique link which you can send to our e-mail – [support@creativethemes.zendesk.com](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/support@creativethemes.zendesk.com?output_format=md) * Thank you very much! * [Eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cteduard/) * (@cteduard) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17153803) * hi [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * Ok, so it seems that comments weren’t actually enabled globally. To fix this, please go to the Customiser -> Single Post and enable the Comments box at the bottom – [https://ibb.co/g6hmFm5](https://ibb.co/g6hmFm5) * Hope this helps! * Thread Starter [ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/) * (@ulim) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17154158) * Hello [@eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/eduard/) * thank you very much, now it works! I did not know there is another global setting for enabling comments in the Customizer. I did enable comments globally under Settings / Discussions only. * [Eduard](https://wordpress.org/support/users/cteduard/) * (@cteduard) * [2 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-section-missing-3/#post-17154666) * No problem, [@ulim](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ulim/). I initially thought that was what you were referring to, but I forgot there’s a “discussion” pane as well that has independent controls. * All is good now.
