   I have recently created a custom template for wordpress for my site over at:

   The comments do not work and I have tried everything to figure out what the problem is. Any ideas maybe I am looking over something simple?

   Thanks,
   Bob Hoil

   Try adding <?php comments_template(); ?> to your single.php template file.

   Thanks that wasn't the only problem. I forgot to include the single.php file all together. I have it working now thanks for the support!

   Hi there, I'm a brand newbie and also having a similar problem with my blog at http://www.brain-on-fire.com/jefeblog. When I click Leave Comment I get the error message -

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /var/www/html/br/brain-on-fire.com/jefeblog/wp-content/themes/pixel.1.9.8/pixel/comments.php on line 61

   I have tried it in both Firefox and IE and get the same result, but I have no idea how to fix line 61. As far as I can tell this below is the section of comments.php in question; do you see anything wrong with it? -

   <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
   <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) :
   // If comments are open, but there are no comments.
   else : ?><p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>
   <?php endif;
   endif;
   el

   Thanks for any help.

   You really should have started a new thread, but besides that I think you forgot a semicolon somewhere.

   (cannot tell from the code you posted)

   Cool, thank you. Meanwhile I re-uploaded the comments.php file from the original installation and now it works fine. Not sure how it got corrupted, should have thought to try that first.

   Okay, I must be really bad, how do you re-upload the comments.php file? I have found it, but can't seem to figure out how to re-upload it. I am also having the same problem with this and widgets not loading correctly.

   My website is:

   I have a similar problem. I tried adding <?php comments_template(); ?> to my single.php template and it didn't work. Here is my problems:

   When I click on No Comments on this page http://thevillageswebsites.com/wordpress/?page_id=53

   Or when I click on the 5 comments on this page/cat http://thevillageswebsites.com/wordpress/?cat=11

   This page is displayed with no comments http://thevillageswebsites.com/wordpress/?p=64

   Any idea what is causing this problem?
