The first thing you need to do is log in to your WordPress admin area and go to Settings »Discussions . Next, look at the section where it says Break comments on pages. Simply select how many comments you want on each page and how you want to display them.

Several users have reported that posts with many comments sometimes return a white screen of death because it runs out of memory.
