    Hi Tim,

    Not sure what could have caused the comments not to be enabled on some of your posts.
    To enable comments on all your posts you can select all your posts as shown in the attached screenshot.

    Then select the edit option as shown in two.png screenshot and then enable comments as shown on three.png. After that apply the changes.

    Try that.

    Hi Eluid! 

    Thanks for the quick response. Unfortunately, that's something I've already tried...and it doesn't appear to work. When I scroll down to where the comments should be, it looks like there's an empty row where the comment field should be located (see attached image). 

    I've gone through all of the possible settings I can think of, and I can't see why the comment field wouldn't be showing. Again...posts with previous comments still show the comments, but no comment field.

    Found the issue! Not sure when this option was added or why Wordpress decided to have it automatically selected, but in Settings > Discussion, there is a checkbox that says "Automatically Close Comments on Posts Older than 14 Day." I deselected that and now the comments field is back. 🤷‍♂️ See attached image.

    Not sure if this is an issue unique to me...but now we know. THANKS!

    Hi There,

    Thanks for sharing the workaround.

    Normally this option is unchecked, we may not tell the reason why this was checked. However we have taken note of this and we will recommend it for users with similar issues.

    Thanks.
