Sometimes some of us need to add a comment box to specific pages in wordpress, but due to restrictions of some wordpress templates we can't do it. Even if your template is a premium, i.e. paid one, you still can't add that box to all of your pages. Adding a comment box is not as difficult as you might be thinking at all. What you need is just open your Wordpress dashboard and head over to Appearance - Editor.

Now, on the right side of your screen, scroll down to find page.php file and click on it

Once you inside that file, just ctrl+F and find this line

Once you've found that line, just add the code on the image below

Finally, click on update file

Remember that if you update your wordpress template in the future, then you'll need to add that code to page.php file again.

P.S. Before making changes to page.php file copy the whole code inside page.php and paste it to a separate editor file (for example, notepad) so you can restore your page.php if something goes wrong.
