Lifestyle Pro theme/ WordPress: How to allow comments on pages.

[t-west]

I'm a newbie and feel silly for asking this, as I'm sure there is probably a simple fix for this, but I can't quite figure it out.

In my "About Me" page, I want to allow discussion and comments at the bottom of the page. I've checked the boxes to allow comments, discussions and trackbacks but there is no comment or reply section at the bottom of the page as there is post pages. Any help would be appreciated. Thank you very much.

Check the screen options.

The discussion and comment boxes are checked off in the screen options tab but still no comments or reply section on the bottom of the page.

I have the same problem here. I'm using Lifestyle. Comments are an all or nothing game with pages in this theme.

If I turn on comments in Genesis > Theme Settings, they are on site-wide and I cannot disable them on a per page basis.

If I turn off comments in Genesis > Theme Settings, they are off site-wide and I cannot enable them on a per page basis.

For pages, you need to enable them on a per page basis on the Edit Page screen.

Hi Brad, Thanks for your quick response. I have done this. Basically, the Edit Page settings are being ignored. They (i.e. comments) only show up on all pages, or none ... as set by Genesis > Theme Settings.

Are you referring to existing posts or pages?

When i enable comments globally, they show up on posts only.

They need to be enabled on pages on a per page basis.

When comments are disabled, it doesn't remove the existing comments list, only the form. You can use code to remove all existing comments(list) and/or form.

Yes, existing pages. I could never get comments working on Pages, so I left them 'off'. As such, I don't have any comments on my pages. When comments are globally enabled, I cannot turn them off on a per-page basis in Edit Page.

Do you want to remove the comment form or comments list from pages?

I am trying to add the comment form to specific pages, but not all pages. I've tried turning it on globally and turning it off for specific pages. I've also tried the reverse, turning it off globally, and turning it on at the page edit level.

[Brad Dalton]

You could create a page template and add the form directly to the template.

When i used the discussion settings to turn on comments, the form only displays after single posts.

To enable the form on a single pages, i had to use the comment settings on the Edit Page screen for each page.
