Customizing HTML for Comments

    I’m trying to customize comments HTML output by following the instructions here:

    http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments

    I’ve basically copied and pasted the function directly as it is on the page, and the corresponding php call into the comments.php file.

    When I do this, all comments disappear.

    I’m testing on my local drive, using WordPress 3.1.2 and MAMP.

    My function file looks like this: http://pastebin.com/nWg3EJMn

    The line calling the comments looks like this:

    <ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&callback=mytheme_comment'); ?>
 </ol>

    Changing it back to the default:

    <ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments(array('style' => 'ol')); ?>
</ol>

    And it works fine… I’m copying directly from the codex (and tried the same-ish code found on Digging into WordPress: http://digwp.com/2010/02/custom-comments-html-output/) and neither is working. I just get an empty:

    <ol class="commentlist">
</ol>
