   I have substituted <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/comments2.php'); ?> for <?php comments_template(); ?> on my single-2 template but I lose all my comments. The form still shows up fine but no comments show up.

   I tried troubleshooting by mirroring comments.php and comments2.php to start with but I still have the same issue. I think it has something to do with the comment-template.php in the wp-include folder.

   Any suggestions how to get my comments2.php to show my comments?

   try
   

   <?php comments_template(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php'); ?>

   I have an identical problem to jungledsales

   Chaoskaizer, your code produces a fatal error

   I didn't know that you could have different single.phps

   How's that done?

   Just found the answer to the second part, but the different comments.php templates still eludes me.

   The second part:

   http://wordpress.alanwho.com/different-single-post-pages-in-wordpress/
   

   <?php
   $post = $wp_query->post;
   if ( in_category('2') ) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-blog.php'); }
   elseif ( in_category('15') ) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-photography.php'); }
   elseif ( in_category('18') ) {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-video.php'); }
   else {
   include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/single-default.php');
   }
   ?>

   @richarduk: well its depend on who's asking?

   <?php
   
   if (file_exists('TEMPLATEPATH.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php''){
     comments_template(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php');
   } else {
     trigger_error(__('stupids! I don\'t have that file yet'), E_USER_ERROR);

   The error is this:

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING

   Even when I use this:

   <?php
   
   if (file_exists('TEMPLATEPATH.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php''){
     comments_template(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php');
   } else {
     trigger_error(__('Hmmm - I do have that file and it sill does not work'), E_USER_ERROR);
   }
   ?>

   The first line is wrong.

   if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php')){

   Use that instead.

   Still not working, though I've tried all sorts of permutations.

   <?php
   
   if (file_exists(TEMPLATEPATH.DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php'){
     comments_template(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php');
   } else {
     trigger_error(__('Hmmm - I do have that file and it sill does not work'), E_USER_ERROR);
   }
   ?>

   Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{'

   Chaoskaiser:

   Apologies, your first line of code does work.

   <?php comments_template(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php'); ?>

    chaoskaizer: Thanks. The first code suggestion worked.

    <?php comments_template(DIRECTORY_SEPARATOR.'comments2.php'); ?>

    richarduk: I used Ryan Boren's plugin at http://boren.nu/archives/2005/03/13/custom-post-templates-plugin/ to create multiple templates for single.phps

    It's especially nice since you can do each category individually like you do in your code above or you can have it display a unique template based on the post ID. Very cool stuff.
