Hi,

Neither the comments not the comment forms are displayed on “Pages”. Some of these pages have up to 92 comments.

However, all comments are nicely show up on wordpress “Posts”.

I don’t have disqus or any other comment plugin installed.

When I momentarily changed the theme to “2019” from Newspaper, comments start to display on ‘Pages’ too. So, this appears to be a Newspaper related issue.

I don’t know when this happened. I have had Newspaper on this site for years and comments were made on these pages while it was on the Newspaper theme. This may have happened with the WordPress 5 or 5.1 update. I only saw this recently and didn’t think it was a Newspaper-related issue until I switched to 2019 and saw re-emergence of comments.

Yes, I have all the check boxes checked as shown on https://www.screencast.com/t/fA8Q9mPSM, https://www.screencast.com/t/I4NaixaUk, https://www.screencast.com/t/VUH0UqCn etc.

Please help !!

Thanks in advance!!
Chuck

I noticed the exact same issue today. Not sure what the answer is from the devs but here is what I did.

NewsPaper->Theme Panel->Template Settings->Page Template.

On Page Template – turn off disable comments on page button and it worked.

This is like a master on/off switch I guess.

@ skbali

Man, I’m so grateful to you for sharing that with me. I spent at least 4 hours going through all the settings (apparently not ALL) and this setting evaded my eyes.

Many thanks again and wish you a great week ahead!
Chuck
