4 years ago Hi @yscik, thanks for the report! I tried following your steps but I was able to see the Leave a Reply box on a post where there are already comments after going to Blog Posts > View. (30s)
There are a few possibly-related issues on file that sound close-to-but-not-exactly-the-same as what you've reported.
In https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/10262, there's a report noting that even if you can see the Leave a Reply box in a Webview you cannot successfully leave a comment. In that case, please direct users to leave comments either using another area of the app such as Comments or Notifications or by using a browser instead of the in-app browser.
In https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-iOS/issues/13079, there's a report that comments are sometimes disabled per-post when a post is published from the mobile app even though the site settings have comments on by default. It sounds like this might be what's happening in your case, except I think you would have seen the Comments are closed text in a browser too in that case. Would you mind checking the Discussion > Allow comments option for the post where you saw the problem happen and let me know if it is checked or unchecked?

Expected behavior
Opening a post in the app as an author shows the post with Leave a Reply box when commenting is enabled.
Actual behavior
Option to comment is missing. When there are already comments, a "Comments are closed" text is displayed. (Commenting is available in browsers)
Steps to reproduce the behavior
Tested on iPad, iOS 13.3, WPiOS 14.0
I have two test blogs and the issue only comes up in one of them, the one on a Business plan/AT. However a user might be having the same issue with a blog on the Personal plan. Both are set to require login to connect.
