    Recent changes: upgraded WP from v2.5 to 2.7. Also upgraded Cforms II plugin as well as a few other plugins. I disabled the Cforms II plugin after seeing the problem with no change.

    Effect: Same effect as if comments were disabled (but they’re not) except it is displaying the header text that says “Leave a comments…”

    Here is the code that I believe is relevant:

    <?php if (‘open’ == $post->comment_status) : ?>
    <div class=”comments”><h3>Leave a comment and let me know what you think.</h3></div>

    <?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>

    Is there supposed to be something after the H3 div? It seems like there should be something that says “display comment form” or something. My instinct is to download the WP 2.7 code, find the untouched commtents.php file and upload. Is this a good idea, bad idea?

    Any help or questions are mucho appreciated!

    well, shoot. I realized I just re-uploaded the wp-admin comment.php which of course did me no good. I can’t find the comments.php file anywhere!
