I have migrated my website & using Avada theme.
I can see my comment section isn't showing.It shows comments are closed though I have allow comment from the discussion area.
In the Admin area of your site, click on "Settings" (on the far right). That should bring up the "General Settings" page.
In the "Membership" row, make sure that the following is checked:
"Anyone can register" (unless you want to manually add users, say friends and family).
And that "Users must be registered and logged in to comment" is unchecked. I think that's the option that's blocking the comment form in your case.

My friend has a Wordpress website and she has no idea how to change anything so she asks me. How can I change the default contact email address?
This is the one that appear on the top bar, sort of towards the left. If you click on it, it opens your default email program. I'm looking in the Wordpress settings but I don't see where it is saved.
I am logging in as the site admin and looking for the setting. I'm not looking at the backend.
Not clear what you mean by top bar - left. There is no email there in WP admin. But the default email for WP admin is under Settings > General > Email Address when you are in the admin section. For the logged in user email you can click on your icon top right and select the Edit my profile menu option.
If by "top left" you are referring to the frontend of the site (as opposed to admin) then its a custom thing that the theme placed there. Themes are developed by independent authors and not part of the core WP and many themes have their own settings panel (which makes finding certain settings difficult as the theme author placed it wherever they wanted). Oftentimes the theme has its own menu entry in admin so look for that.
Additionally since you mention "contact email address" perhaps there is a contact form on the site. By default WP has no contact form so these are added by plugins. Most likely they make use of the administrator email addressI mentioned first but can also be overridden. The place to look depends on the form plugin but common ones might be Contact Form 7 which I think places its settings under the Settings menu. Another popular one is Gravity Form which has its own entry in admin.
Hope that helps.
On my Drupal site I am using a theme that puts a log-in prompt on the main page. I want to move it to a separate page. How do I do that? Also, once I move or remove it, How would I go about still logging on as the admin?
The home page is here http://www.arguemax.com/_drupal-7.26/
Update:
Right, the bottom right block. I solved the problem, as suggested, by removing the block.
The login form on the main page was a Block. You disabled it by going to
Administration >> Structure >> Blocks. There found a list with all
blocks for the current theme. I just moved the Login Block to the Disabled area at the bottom.
Now I have an issue with the Navigation block. But that is a subject for another discussion thread
The login prompt is a block. Disable it or configure it not to appear on the front page or to only appear on certain pages or whatever.
The URL to access blocks in D7 is: /admin/structure/block
Until you clarify the log-in prompt you talk about, I can already say several things:
No need to do something special to "move the log in functionnality to a separate page" because it will always be on that page: http://www.arguemax.com/_drupal-7.26/user. If you want it to be accessible through the menu, just go to admin>structure>menu and add a link into the right menu.
To log in as the admin, just go to http://www.arguemax.com/_drupal-7.26/user like any other user and use your admin username and password normally.
I'm waiting for your edit to complete my answer ;)
I am trying to add new posts for my site which also should allow posting comments. But when I update, I am getting something like this "Comments are closed".
All the required options have been checked while installing wordpress.
Can anybody let me know as to where I have I done wrong?
Any suggestions are acceptable.
In the Settings section of the Dashboard Sidebar, go to Discussion, and make sure the three boxes are ticked under "Default article settings".
This will make all new posts able to accept comments. However, you may have to change that setting manually on each old page or post. Underneath the description box, there should be another box called "Discussion". If this is hidden, you can turn it on at the top under screen options.
I recently launched a Drupal site and noticed, after looking through my admin logs, that there existed a page in which a summary of every node on my page could be viewed. I found that this page was accessible at [mysitename]/node?page=1 and showed a list of all nodes in my site with a paginator at the bottom.
I've never run into this before and I'm unsure how to remove or re-direct from this page. It doesn't seem to be coming from a view or a panel, and I've never encountered this issue before, so I'm at a loss as to what's creating this page.
Here's an example of what I'd like to disable:: http://drupal.org/node?page=1
/node only shows pages with the "promoted to front page" option ticked. If you don't use that, it should be empty.
One way you could do it would be using Views; you could override /node to display something else ("Sorry, I don't feel like letting you do that today.").
Also searching the web for "drupal disable node" finds some useful stuff - e.g. http://groups.drupal.org/node/32704. That page has a variety of good answers.
Do what Chris Morgan suggested and also, to prevent double content issues with Google and other search engines, use .htaccess or robots.txt to prevent anyone to enter /node.
Anybody knows a good plugin for Wordpress to provide a nice Admin dashboard which also cleans the regular Wordpress update mess. I do not want customer getting distracted with the loaded content in the backend with events, news and updates (messy content updates) in the Backend login? Thanks in advance.
I'm not sure if I understand what you're needing. If you're looking for a way to hide a lot of the stuff in the WordPress control panel, Adminimize is a good plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/adminimize/
There are also plugins to hide the update reminder: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/hide-update-reminder/
And to control what appears on the add/edit post page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-cms-post-control/
Using a combination of the above, you can redirect users directly to the post page (skipping the dashboard) when they log in, and limit what they see in the control panel menu to an amazing extent. You can allow them to see widgets, for instance, but not see the themes page.
Hope this helps.

In the latest WordPress versions, >2.7, you can set the admin screen to display only a subset of the Admin widgets.
Just click on Screen Options at the top right of the Admin page to reveal option checkboxes.
For example, you can uncheck "WordPress Development Blog", and "Other WordPress News". You can even format the screen to be just one column and only show the "QuickPress" widget.
