post date and comments issue

    Have posts set to be on the ‘static page’, ‘news2’, and am running into a wide array of issues with the page and posts on it.

    For some reason, whatever changes I make the ‘news2’ page, like adding any text at all, do not show up on the page. I can also not enable comments on the page. I can on all other pages, so it has something to do with it being the posts page-

    Also for the posts themselves, they all show the date a bit goofed, like a post I did for today had the date 15-04-12 (switching the places of the day and month). I also am not able to enable comments on the posts…

    Any help is greatly appreciated & FYI, my single.php and page.php files do not seem to be the issue.. ‘<?php comments_template(); ?>’ is in there.

    posts set to be on the ‘static page’, ‘news2’,

    WordPress will then automatically use index.php as the template ( http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Hierarchy )

    comments are by default not possible on index and archive pages. it is not recommended to overwrite this.

    if this does not reflect your settings under settings – general – date format you will need to edit the corresponding theme files and change the code.

    hmm, so when you set the posts page to something other then the landing page you cannot have comments on them?

    by default, you cannot have comments on the posts page – landing page or not makes no difference.

    the comments template is only processed in single posts or pages;
    this is checked in the first conditional code within the function comments_template( $file = '/comments.php', $separate_comments = false ) in /wp-inlcudes/comment-template.php around line 850
