I use Types, Views, and a content template to display the custom post fields on the front end. I want the comment box to show on all of those front end pages.

I know they can be done manually as explained in an earlier thread - https://toolset.com/forums/topic/how-to-add-comments-to-custom-post-type/. Is there a way to enable the comment box to show up automatically on the front end like it does for for all non-custom posts?

I was thinking of cloning the single.php to a single-cpt.php and enable comments there without a conditional, but maybe that doesn't link the comments to the post in the db. What is the right way of doing it (in functions.php or elsewhere) so that all posts created for my custom post type have a comment box on the front end?

Hello,

Thank you for contacting our support forum.

Is it that you want the comment box to be enabled by default when you are creating a new CPT ? Or is it that your CPT isn't showing the Comments form on the frontend.

Thanks,
Shane

This wasn't working. I realized that the newer custom posts have that comments form on the frontend, only the old ones didn't. I'm manually enabling it for the old ones. I think this is how its designed?
