Hello Newspaper Theme Support folks,
I have a question about the Comments element that I hope you can help with.
We have the Comments element block in the Single Template.
The issue is : while we have set Posts “not allowed” on New Posts, there are certain Posts we want to allow them(very few). So, when we add those Posts, we check to box to “Allow Comments”) but still nothing shows in those Posts.
So, no Comment box shows by default on the Pages, which is ok since we have not allowed Comments on New Posts. But, on Pages where we want Comments allowed the box still does not show.
So, we tried adding a “test” comment in the Admin for the Post…..and the Comment box shows up on the Post but says “Comments Closed”.
Is there a way to turn Comments off by default but only “open” for certain Posts … ???
Hope that makes sense… and hope you can help,
Tim Roman
Hi,
So, do you want to have comments on the pages or posts?
For the comments on page please enable this option from Theme Panel -> Template Settings -> Page Template => https://www.screencast.com/t/izMZkco5
This happens because you have in settings > discussion check the box for automatically closed comments after a set numbers of days -> https://www.screencast.com/t/96CzDYJIrl please uncheck the box and save the settings, after that clear all cache and see if there is still a problem ( the “Comments are closed” text should disappear and comments will open again ).
Thank you!
