Wordpress Question

[Captain Canada]

Out of the blue my comments were turned off - that is whenever ayone tries to make a comment on a post it says "comments are closed" - I have not changed anything in my admin panel, I have the following settings for comments:

(all are turned off - that is not selected)

An administrator must approve the comment (regardless of any matches below)
Comment author must fill out name and e-mail
Comment author must have a previously approved comment

But still I cant get the comments turned on again.

Any suggestions?

BTW this board should set up a blogs section, I know it's been mentioned before but maybe now is the time.

Check every post if it has "Allow Comments" selected.

Thanks Ice Master - thats exactly what it was - is there a way to have this box permanently clicked, or does it have to be done for each past and future post?

[MaddCaz]

bump for this

For the past posts you will have to go back and check them individually I believe. For future posts lokk for and check 'Allow people to post comments on the article' in Options > Discussion

I guess you could also go into the MySQL and change the past posts that way if you are handy with queries.

[IceMaster]

Yes, I guess that you must have "Allow people to post comments on the article" activated (Options - Discussion).

it is time for blogs, sure.
Sorry, no propositions on your problem.
