Comments are missing on pages, need to know what file to edit to add them

The comments list (previously registered) for both posts are not showing up. If I enable comment count, the right number shows up, but the list of comments is never showing up in pages, only shows up in posts. It looks like the theme was not meant to show comments in pages – if that’s the case, what’s the php template I’ve got to edit in order to add the list of comments? – thanks.

PD In the future, when the theme gets updated, I guess I’m going to loose this changes, should I create a child theme to make sure that doesn’t happen?

WordPress does not support comments on pages by default as pages are normally for stuff like privacy policy, about the company, staff members, etc., where normally nobody should comment on that. You likely need to use a plugin, or add a function to enable comments on ‘pages’ as well as posts — which is not normal with WP.

Just a comment. I don’t work here.

@simchris I didn’t know that… been using WP for about 11 years, and all the themes I’ve been installing up to this one, allowed comments on pages. This is why my site has a lot of them on some pages. Thanks for the clarification.

Still would like to know the template I have to edit to add the comments list – It’d save me the need to open all of them and search for the code after the page content – thanks!

Found the option… it was in the template settings, my apologies for not seeing this sooner, we can close this thread.
