   Hi,
   
   Notes :

   • Wordpress 2.8.4 local installation
   • Custom sandbox child theme
   • All plugins disabled
   • child theme functions.php disabled

   # Background
   I've made 5-8 themes with Wordpress and I am a middle-advanced theme creator (not a complete beginner, not an expert).
   For the first time, I'm using sandbox, blueprint, actions and filters.

   # Situation
   I'm using a child theme (parent : the sandbox default configuration) to create my own theme.
   Everything is working fine (header/content/footer customization).
   My only problem is that comments_template() is always looking for themes/default/comments.php

   # Problem
   If my understanding is good, it should first :
   

   1. look for mychildtheme/comments.php
      if not found
         -> 2. look for sandbox/comments.php
         if not found
            -> 3. look for default/comments.php

   When mychildtheme activated ( and index.php, functions.php, single.php working fine), the comments section is still displaying default/comments.php
   Not even sandbox/comments.php

   The thing is : the problem happens even if I copy default/comments.php to mychildtheme and sandbox folders. So, the file comments.php should be valid.

   # Diagnostic

   • All plugins disabled
   • child theme functions.php disabled

   # Your opinion?
   How can this be possible?
   Is there anything else that I should check to ensure compatibility between default/parent/child theme?

   Thank you in advance.
