# [Plugin: Disqus Comment System] Comments Closed on random posts

 * I have several authors and comments are being closed on seemingly random posts.
   Looks like this started around mid-January as a google search of my site for “
   Sorry, comments are closed on this post” shows earliest instance as Jan 16.
 * I asked authors to enable the comments, and check the default status of the comments
   checkbox but they say they are enabling. I enabled on one post that was disabled,
   but it seems to have switched back to disabled (unchecked). Plugin conflict?

 * Hi there,
 * That message is the default WordPress message for when comments are closed in
   WP itself, not the Disqus message. Here’s what the latter looks like: [http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15229959/Screenshots/1cr.png](http://dl.dropbox.com/u/15229959/Screenshots/1cr.png).
 * Disqus does not enable/disable comments in WordPress itself. We’d recommend looking
   through your WP settings — specifically WordPress > Settings > Discussion to 
   see if comments are set to close after a certain number of days — and other plugin
   settings in case another plugin may be causing this.
 * Best,

 * Hmm, ok. Any ideas of any conflicts with Pressjunkie themes or the native WordPress
   comment system? Any plugins like Subscribe To Comments Reloaded Plugin cause 
   conflicts? Should I have other commen systems disabled, like within my theme 
   settings?

 * The option ” Automatically close comments on articles older than days” is not
   enabled. Any other settings I should consider?

 * Turn off the DISQUS plugin for a moment and see if WordPress still says comments
   are turned off in those posts. If it does, then something else closed them on
   your side. If not, then something is wrong with DISQUS or someone closed the 
   comments in DISQUS itself in certain posts (see [http://docs.disqus.com/help/18/](http://docs.disqus.com/help/18/)
   for more info).
