You can add comments on a per-page or per-post basis. In the post editor, look up in the upper right-hand corner for "Screen Options." Make sure "discussion" is checked. Then scroll down and you'll see a checkbox for allowing comments.

February 12, 2013 at 8:48 pm #19996Dorian SpeedMemberCan you post a link?

I'm going to send up a flare because this is probably something totally obvious that I'm just missing because I'm not super-familiar with this theme. Are you using bbPress on this site?

I believe if you use Genesis Simple Edits you can customize what shows up above and below the page, including the link to post comments. You could also do that by adding stuff to functions.php but the plugin is probably easier.

February 12, 2013 at 9:41 pm #20009Dorian SpeedMemberYou don't really need to use code - just go into Genesis > Simple Edits. The Post Info section is before the content and the Post Meta comes after the content.

I bet there's a page template in that theme that removes the post info and post meta sections, in which case the Genesis Simple Edits plugin isn't going to help. I'm sorry, I don't have any more time just at the moment to look at this, but I'll be back in a couple of hours in case you still are having issues.

Thank you

It must be something on your install.Just to clarify: comments are enabled in WordPress > Settings > Discussion? And also the display of comments is enabled for Posts & Pages in Genesis > Theme Settings?
Did you make any modifications in your child theme's functions.php file --- added any snippets or something?
Since your blog post DOES show the comment section I assume the page display is still disabled in Genesis or there is any other modification active?

I'm more than happy to give admin privileges to my site, if that would expedite the problem.
