Getting Comments to Show

I had been frustrated for weeks with my niche website's theme, because the comments box would not show on the page unless you click on the post title, which takes you to the permalink url, where then it would show up.

I had heard that adding a "pagebreak" at the bottom of a post would often solve the problem with lots of WP themes. But I didn't know how to do that, so I did a trusty Google search and found out how. Most of you probably already know how, but for those who don't, and who are having a similar problem as I had, here's how:

It's actually very easy to handle. There are two ways to do it. You get into your editor, and switch to "text" mode, then insert the following code, depending on what you are using, CSS or simple html - I used #2 with good results.

1) via CSS - for the advanced HTML users:

<p style="page-break-after:always;"></p>

2) with a simple comment:

<p><!-- pagebreak --></p>

For example, if you try printing this page (try Chrome print preview) the line below should be on a second page:

Page break below this line.

This line should be on the top of the second page.

That's it.

Hope this helps somebody, I wish I had known this a month ago!
