Hi,

is there an option to activate and deactivate comments on specific pages or in general?

Thanks!

    This is more Wordpress question then theme:-) But yes. Check Screen options in top right corner in panel(in post) to enable options for comments. In settings, I think Settings->Writing, you also have general switching off comments.

    With regards.

    Hm, that’s why I posted this question here, hehe. :D

    I miss my comments on my pages since I switched to Beach Please. My settings are "pro comments", but they just don’t show up anymore (issue occurs only on pages).
    Here is an example for a page that actually has comments, but doesn’t show them:
    http://www.dennisknickel.com/books/serendipity/tag-37-krieg/

    Another strange issue I have since I use Beach Please is that my comments count here and there shows wrong numbers (also in the admin area/"all pages" list).
    For example:
    This post (not page) doesn’t have any comments, even though the first line says it has one: http://www.dennisknickel.com/o-canada-erinnerungen-laeuft-in-toronto/
    Here is an example for a correctly working comments count:
    http://www.dennisknickel.com/curry-competition-das-buch-erscheint-im-januar/

    The issues persist with deactivated plugins.

    Thanks!

    That is probably cause pages in this theme doesn't have comments:-) I think you will have to edit template page.php and after
    
    <?php
                    wp_link_pages( array(
                            'before' => '<div id="page-links">'.__fe('Pages: '),
                            'after'  => '</div>')
                    );
                ?>
    add such code
    <?php comments_template( '', true ); ?>

    That is rather strange, cause we don't do anything funky with comments. Please check if on default theme it also shows up wrong.
    I suspect it can be:
    -glitch in WP
    -cache plugin leftovers
    -crazy theme error:-)

    With regards.

    Yay! Activating comments on pages works! Thanks!

    My strange issue with the comments count doesn’t seem to have anything to do with Beach Please. I tried it with the default theme (freshly uploaded, no changes) and turned off all my plugins: still the same funky numbers. ;)

    I’m using W3 Total Cache. I guess that’s a pretty good plugin and doubt that it left any leftovers…?

    I had so many topics here, cause of this plugin:-) Try clearing its cache, there is some special button for it somewhere.
    I don't say it is not good, it just one of those plugins that generates topics here;-) I will have to take a look at it someday:-)

    With regards.

    Hehe…
    I’m acutally pressing that magic button regularly, but I also don’t really know if my settings are the optimal ones. :D
