Hello all,
I hope someone can help again, with http://martinmyerswrites.com. I really have appreciated all your assistance!
Now that we are near to using this site, including a Blog section, I realize that the theme does not automatically allow for readers to Comment on Posts.
And I can’t find an automatic option for them to Follow the Blog, either.

I’ve checked the FAQs and instructions – nothing there, I think.
I’ve gone through all the WP Admin site Settings. Can you please share some suggestions? Thanks again.
All the best.
Lori

@lsm: Hello Lori,
You will need to edit your posts.
Then on the right sidebar you will see Discussion option, under that Check the option Allow Comments and Update the post.

You will need to do this for all your posts.
Let me know if this works out.
Kind Regards,
Skandha

Hi Skandha!
Thank you, as always, for your great – and easy – reminder. I made the revision swiftly by using Bulk Edit, in the Posts > All Posts list. Done in 10 seconds. Great! This theme – and using the new WP small business plan – is quite different than using the original Classic Editor so, sometimes, I forget the number of other locations I can check! This was simple. 🙂
Now, that answers my first question.
But I guess I didn’t explain my second question very clearly: I don’t see anywhere for WP users to “Follow” this account. That used to be in the black horizontal WP taskbar, across the top, when people would sign in and could just click FOLLOW, so this blog would show up in their READER pages. Now, with the new “no advertising” look, there’s no black WordPress bar across the top of the page, so I’m not sure how people can Follow the blog via READER. I found the Blog Subscriptions (Jetpack) option in Widgets (there used to be a Follow widget, but this is similar), so that is fine. Just wondering about general “followers.” Maybe that is done differently now?
Thanks so much for you suggestions. All the best.
Lori
