Hey, I had the same problem and found the solution. I unchecked “Allow Comments” in the post during edition, then updated the post. Then I checked “Allow Comments” again, and updated the post again, and the comments finally appeared on the blog! I hope that will help you too!

One more setting you might need to uncheck is “Automatically close comments on articles older than xx days” in Settings > Discussion
which removes the Comment box on old posts.

In reply to lordywardy. Thanks for the tip Gordon. For some reason, the comment form is now appearing in all of my blogs using the Genesis Theme.

I have exactly the same problem and the exact same situation, but after reading this managed to solve it by doing some more research. (Thanks to One Happy Studio)
After doing all of the things you describe above, and still having no success, go to all posts;Bulk actions, Edit – apply, and you will see a drop down box which gives to more options to allow/disallow comments.

It means that you can be selective on which pages that you allow the comments on, too.

This worked for me. Good luck, Gordon
