Comments on Pages

The Problem

In the theme I’m using you can’t have comments on pages. Oh you can tick that you want them but the page.php had no comment code to enable them.

But you don’t want that nasty looking message saying that comments are disabled - you either want commenting allowed or nothing, right?

The Solution

Put this in the page.php (just before get footer). Magic.

<?php

if('closed' != $post->comment_status) { comments_template();
