   Howdy,

   I've searched the forums for this, but nothing is pertinent to my situation.

   The Comment link (also the comment count text) is not showing up even though the actual comments do show at th ebottom of the page.

   My comment code (in index.php) is in a div where all the other elements show (e.g. Date, Edit, etc.)

   Here's my div:

   <div class="descr">
   <?php the_category(', ') ?> <span class="sep">|</span>
   <!--<img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/img/timeicon.gif" alt="" />--> <?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <span class="sep">|</span>
   <?php the_author() ?> <span class="sep">|</span>
   <?php edit_post_link('Edit',''); ?> <span class="sep">|</span>
   <img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/img/comments.gif" alt="" /> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments &raquo;', '1 Comment &raquo;', '% Comments &raquo;'); ?>
   </div>

   Troubleshooting steps I've taken:

   1/
   I've tried switching themes to see if it could be something with my current theme (Indigo), but that doesn't help.

   2/
   I've replaced the comments_popup_link declaration with some other text and the plain text does show up.

   3/
   I've moved the comments_popup_link declaration elsewhere on the page and it still won't show.

   4/
   Looking at the generated HTML (view source) of the published page all I get is a white space (about 10 spaces) where the code should show.

   5/
   I've checked for stupid stuff:
   - commenting is allowed in the general prefs
   - comments are allowed on this specific post
   - there are 2 comments on this specific post
