Comments on Posts are gone

[cbitner 0]

For the last little while I can't seem to get "leave a response" to appear on my posts. I did make it possible to leave comments on PAGES by editing a line of _posts.php and they are showing up great. However, my blog post pages comments are not working. Even if I click on leave a reply on the blog excerpt, it just sends me into the full blog post but there is no comment box that shows up. Yes, comments are enabled on the post. I am using iBlog Pro 4 - any help is appreciated. I have tried every menu toggle and nothing makes it appear.

Hey Cory, Did this problem occur after you made the change in the _posts.php file? Can you specify the exact change you made and have you tried reverting back to the original file to see if it works then?

OK - did what you said (I reverted back to the original _posts.php file), and the comments section once again appears on Posts. (Thanks - I missed the obviousness of that). However, now it's back to the functionality of just displaying comments on posts and not on Pages. So, Here's the code that I replaced: <?php if(!VPRO || !is_page() || (is_page() && pagelines('pagecomments', $post->ID))) include(THEME_LIB.'/_commentsform.php');?> And here's the code I replaced it with to make pages have comments: <?php if(is_page() || pagelines('pagecomments', $post->ID)) include(THEME_LIB.'/_commentsform.php');?> Is there something I can do to make this leave comments on both PAGES and POSTS when I select it per post. (This is on the iBlogPro Theme by the way) Thanks for your suggestion and for anyone who can help accomplish what I am looking for.

It should work if you just add `|| is_single()` to the conditional

OK - that worked. So for future users wanting to add comments to pages in iBlogPro4 and to retain comments on the posts: (1) Edit the iBlogPro theme file called: _posts.php (2) Find the following line: <?php if(!VPRO || !is_page() || (is_page() && pagelines('pagecomments', $post->ID))) include(THEME_LIB.'/_commentsform.php');?> (3) Replace it with this line: <?php if(is_page() || is_single() || pagelines('pagecomments', $post->ID)) include(THEME_LIB.'/_commentsform.php');?> All will work properly.
