    I had to redo my website from scratch and was struggling to get comments to appear on pages. (I do not use posts).
    I tried everything I could find on the forums, to no avail.
    I upgraded just now to the most recent version of Enfold (downloaded today and renewed my subscription).
    I have updated pages.php to include:

    					get_template_part( 'includes/loop', 'page' );
					comments_template( 'includes/comments.php'); // added this line

    Comments are enabled uner “Allow people to submit comments on new posts” (although I don’t see a setting anywhere to do the same for pages)
    When I view a page, where the comments form SHOULD be it says “Comments are closed”.
    Also, “INTERESTING LINKS” appears at the bottom, and I don’t want that.
    How do I get rid of “INTERESTING LINKS” and how can I get comments to display?
    Please note that I do NOT use the Advanced Layout Builder. I always use the Classic Editor as I do occasional manual HTML editing.

    Hey Robin,

    Thank you for the inquiry.

    You have to edit the page and toggle the “Allow comments” checkbox in the “Discussions” panel. If you can’t find the “Discussions” panel, please make sure that the panel is enabled in the “Screen Options”.

    // https://wordpress.org/documentation/article/comments-in-wordpress/#enabling-comments-on-your-site

    To disable the “Interest Links” widget, go to the Appearance > Widgets panel and add any widgets in the Footer widget areas.

    Best regards,
    Ismael

    OK I turned that on. I wound up with TWO comment boxes on each page, but then I removed the comments_template( 'includes/comments.php'); from pages.php and now it is only one.

    How do I make this the default behavior so that comments are on for every page I create? I have 200 pages on my site, I would prefer not to have to manually turn this on for each one.

    Hi,
    Please see the bottom of the article that Ismael linked to above, it tells how to turn comments on for multiple posts or pages.

    From the Posts/Pages screen, check the boxes next to the posts or Pages on which you want to enable comments. Select “Edit” from the “Bulk Edit” Dropdown box and click Apply. Then, select “Allow” next in the Comments dropdown box and finish by clicking “update.”

    Best regards,
    Mike
