The Post Comments section shows Ghost's own comments under a post: the comment box and the replies of your members. It works on the Post template and on the post templates you create. Page templates do not offer it. It holds no blocks and has no settings of its own beyond the shared ones: colors, width, spacing, corners and CSS. Click the section on the canvas to open its settings panel.
The comments show only when commenting is turned on in Ghost Admin, under Settings > Membership > Commenting. That is also where you choose who can comment. With commenting off, the section shows nothing. On the canvas, the section shows a placeholder, Comments Section, because the comments come from your Ghost site. Show comments on posts walks through the setup.
What visitors see
The section shows no heading and no comment count of its own. Ghost decides who may write: visitors who are not members see the comments and a prompt to sign up or sign in. To put a heading such as "Comments" above it, add a Section with a Heading right before it.
