Squarespace 7.0 Blog Comments Not Showing Up

I don’t know how long this bug has existed but for some reason the comment area defaults to display:none.

.squarespace-comments .comments-content.read-only .new-comment-area {
display: none;
}

To fix it, add this to your Custom CSS.

.squarespace-comments .comments-content.read-only .new-comment-area {
display: block !important;
}
