It's likely either a theme issue, or you are publishing pages instead of posts. If you are publishing posts, and there is a comment box, but the comments are not working, try another theme and see if that works.

Ah, yes. Outdated plugins can cause issues!

Also,check your theme settings

Yep, comments were always allowed.

Can you private message my your site please?
