Comments

I also noticed that related posts also don;t show up on posts with the ALE in use

Nope. Comments still not showing up after I follow the instructions in the referenced thread. Like I said. If I disable ALE comments form shows up. If I enable the ALE comments and related posts disappear.

I also deactivated all plugins to make sure there was not a conflict somewhere. Comments form and related posts still do not appear. I am running a “child theme” of enfold – below are the contents of my functions file – just in case…

Thanks.

Thanks Rikard, see private content

Thanks Andy, I did as suggested;

1. Removed the active enfold directory
2. uploaded a new clean enfold theme folder (just downloaded from TF) and made that the active theme (not my child theme).
3. Deactivated ALL plug-ins to make sure there were no conflicts.

Result:
Posts that do not use the Advanced Layout Editor show the comments form and related posts.
Posts that have been built using the advanced layout editor do not have the comments form or the related posts.
I’ve tested this on several posts. same result each time. As soon as I invoke the advanced layout editor the comments form and related posts functionality go away.

I’ve reverted my install to the child-theme (using the brand new uploaded enfold theme as parent) and re-activated my plugins so my site is restored. Still no comments form…

Thanks again.

Ha! that was a simple fix. Thank you.
