 * I removed the ‘Disable comments’ plugin but the comments boy is still not visible
   and I have a statement on the home page that says ‘Comments off on’ (title of
   post). I have followed the instructions in the FAQ, including:
 * – Bulk edit your posts. From the Posts Screen, check the boxes next to all the
   posts you want to edit, select Bulk Actions -> Edit, and click Apply. In the 
   bulk edit area that appears, check the box for comment status and click Update.
 * but with no success. I cannot find ‘Screen options’ at the top of the screen.
 * Please advise.

 * When this happens it is always because the theme that is in use has a separate
   setting for enabling comments, and this setting has been turned off.
 * Please carefully check your theme’s settings to see if there is come configuration
   related to comments, and whether this need to be enabled.

 * Hi Samir, many thanks for your response. I tried switching to other themes, but
   that didn’t help.
 * Best regards,

 * Hi Samir, I tried switching themes again and going through the procedure you 
   suggested. The comments box is now working properly. Only one problem: on the
   top right hand corner of the post, it still says:
 * (Date)
    No Comments David Tracey
 * Can you suggest how I could remove the ‘No Comments’ text?
 * Thanks again for your help,
    David

 * That is controlled by the theme unfortunately – you would need to add some custom
   styling to hide that if you don’t want it to appear. Difficult to be more specific
   without seeing the actual site/theme though.

 * Hi Samir,
 * The site is [https://tracey-translations.ch](https://tracey-translations.ch) 
   and the theme is ‘Vito’ from Quema Labs, but I will understand if you don’t have
   time to pursue this any further.
 * Thanks agains for your help,

 * Yeah, you would have to override the style of the theme to hide that. This is
   the styling you would need to add:
 *     ```
       .metadata .meta_comments {
           display: none;
       }
       ```
   
 * In terms of how to do this, it isn’t super straightforward to do – there are 
   some suggestions here: [http://davidsutoyo.com/2014/10/09/override-themes-css/](http://davidsutoyo.com/2014/10/09/override-themes-css/)

 * I think I’ll leave it as is for the moment.
