Hello!
I'm currently setting up big feature as the new theme for my blog... I wanted to add the comment functionality to a page that is separate from my blog. Currently there is no comments box at the bottom of that page.
The URL is emporium.mahmoudtaji.com and the page in question is Scam Alert... I want to make it so that readers can leave comments on that page.

you can add the comments code to page.php (default template):
<?php comments_template(); ?>
add it in the loop, before the endwhile. I recommend to to this in a child theme, just copy page.php to the child theme and modify it. It is possible to only add the comments to a specific page, but that requires some coding skills.

I wanted to create a "guestbook" by enabling the comments-function in a page.
I use a copy of the page.php template, called it guestbook-page.php, and added the comments code as menitoned above.
</div>
<?php comments_template( '/guestbook.php' ); ?>
<?php endwhile; else: ?>
As I also want to change the comments section (the form should be above the comments), I also created a copy of the comments.php, and called it guestbook.php, as you can see in the code above.
The problem is, that in the guestbook-page, the comments section only says "Comments are closed". In the general settings for discussion, I enabled users to comment posts.
Do you have any idea, why it says comments are closed although and doesn't show the form?
Thank you!

It's me again with one related question, maybe anyone has an idee how to solve this:
It is possible to reverse the order of the comments, so that the latest comments are shown at the top of the comments. But if there are a lot of comments (like it is in a guestbook), one has to paginate the comments. But these pages, show the oldest comments on the first page, and the latests ones on the last one.
Is there any way to change the order of the paginated comments?
I would appreciate if anyone has tips on this.

I believe you can do this with a plugin
see here:

Thanks for the link to the plugin. But I'm afraid that's not yet solvig my problem, as it's quite old, and the comment-structure changed with WP 2.7 or 3.0 I think. The feature to sort the comments had been integrated in WP itself, so that the plugins used for that before, are not needed anymore. Only the order of the comment-pages is not "correct" yet.
Hello,
I have two pages on my site, where I want to add Comments functionality. I tried the suggestions above, but nothing worked. Could you give an idea what I can be doing wrong?
Here is one of the paged that I want to have Comments options: http://www.naturelita.com/%D0%BF%D1%80%D0%B8%D1%80%D0%BE%D0%B4%D0%B0/
