so what did you do, now the comment form is showing up on the Vogue: The September Issue

I made the suggested changes and home page and now entire WP site return a blank page. Can't get to dashboard. This remains after reversing changes.

WP 2.8 + (latest update, yesterday); Atahualpa 3.4.2

I've checked in with web host to no avial. They suggest deleting theme from file.

Suggestions?

Remove atahualpa theme and you should go back to the default theme. Then you can reinstall atahialpa

Theme should follow page specific settings.

I am having the same problem as pedja.

Any update to this, Flynn or juggledad? This is crucial to my new site so I would appreciate any help to make this work.

I have comments enabled on pages under ATO Comments, but I don't want comments on all pages. The "Allow comments on page?" box under page settings does not work. Right now I have comment boxes on all pages.

I'm running 3.4.2.

How can I fix this to allow comments only on the pages I specify?

That worked, thank you.

I'm back to my original problem: "comments are closed" at the bottom of my pages. Someone was able to leave a comment on one page - I don't know how. This doesn't seem to be theme dependent I see now as the default theme showed that also.

I've gone over the WP settings in discussion and posts. Will search codex but if you've run into this or can suggest a setting I may have overlooked, I'd appreciate it.

I've spent some time searching the WP.org forums. I've found the issue raised several times but none resolved. Example: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/258518?replies=6. So I'm back hoping...

I've just tested this in 3.4.2 on a plain vanilla install - page comments work but...
In order to leave comments on a page there are two things that must be done
1) ATO->Style & configure COMMENTS->Allow comments on "Page" pages, too? must be set to YES
2) dashboard->Pages->Edit->page-you-want->Discuession->Allow Comments - must be checked

Unless pedja and I are doing something wrong however, this places comments on ALL pages and does not allow you to restrict certain pages under individual page settings. :confused:

With the plain vanilla Atahualpa 3.4.2, I only can add comments to pages that have the 'allow comments' checkbox set. For pages that do not have it set, I get 'Comments are closed.'

1) have you made any code changes?
2) have you tried it with all plugins disabled?

Wimbledon Aug 6, 2009 06:35 AM

I have not made any code changes regarding comments, only some code in header_config.

I will disable all my plugins and see if that helps.

EDIT: Disabling the Disqus plugin enables everything as it should be. Thanks for the helpful advice! Now I just need to figure out how to get Disqus to work, as it is a great system IMO. Anyone know how I can integrate Disqus successfully?

These have been selected as described all along. Just now I deactivated all my plugins and no change: "comments are closed" at the bottom of all pages but the contact page where a comment had been left a week or so ago.

Only code changes are the ones described earlier which were reversed before deleting theme and reloading it.

Not sure what your issue is. Can you start a new thread and discribe it. It seems this thread has morphed from issue to issue depending on the user. I'm just not clear on what your issue is.:o

Is this problem solved? I'm running 3.4.4 and still having this problem.
Not more than one comment is posible on a page -(

Pls help

juggledad Jan 2, 2010 12:32 PM

to get this to work, see post#36 in http://forum.bytesforall.com/showthread.php?t=5031

gregbanks Feb 18, 2010 03:45 AM

It's all in the loop where you just need to use the function wp_list_comments();

I did that on one of my themes and I have an enable / disable function for the comments on the theme as well.
