Compare files page.php and single.php (in your theme folder), and see what is missing in page.php; for example, <?php comments_template(); ?>

The Green Bug theme doesn’t seem to have a file named by Page.php. Here are all the default files:
comments.php
footer.php
functions.php
header.php
index.html
index.php
sidebar.php
single.php
style.css
Perhaps, I should find a Page.php from other theme and tweak it to fit the Green Bug theme. Any suggestions?
Thanks.
Hmm, interesting. I ran out of steam here. Gurus?

I guess that not all theme designers follow the standards. Green Bug theme is just one of those examples. Given that his Page content shows up in the theme withOUT the Page.php, I suppose there might be a way to tweak the code to have the Comments link for all Pages instead of Posts.
Green Bug theme can be download from the following location:

Now, can you gurus help me with the following:
1. What is the general program calling sequence for the 9 files from my last post? Probably starting from index.php?
2. Can you give me some code example in how Page.php is called if it exists?
Thanks.

Yes. Thanks for the very helpful page. I will study that page and work on creating a simple page.php with <?php comments_template(); ?> in it.

Okay, my simple page.php with <?php comments_template(); ?> adds the Comment form to ALL Pages.
Now, there are certain pages that I do not wish to have the Comment form, how can I achieve that? Thanks.
Oh, I get it. Deselect the “allow comments” from WordPress web interface.
Let me test everything before I update this post. Thanks so much everyone.
Make another Page template (see the Templates section: Pages).
When you have the default (page.php) AND another one, then you have the option to select which template to use when Writing.

Oh, I get it. Deselect the “Allow Comments” from WordPress web interface for the pages that you don’t want Comments forms.
