Just wanted to mention that I tried the other themes (Default and Classic), and neither of them worked.
I dont recall comments ever working for me…

Is there a reason why no one has answered me?
I had a similar situation where a suggestion was to change/update the permalinks. That worked for me.

I still cannot get my comments to work. What do I need to do to get help with this?
Can you switch it to the default and leave it up like that for a few minutes until we check it?
Well, even the default theme doesn’t look like i should. Missing title, different font, quite messy.
(are you copy/pastin from Word into the wysiwyg?)
Did you try deactivating all your plugins? Check the single.php (or index.php, if there is no single) if they have the call for the comments template:
<?php comments_template(); ?>
(sorry, I could’t reply earlier I had to leave urgently)

To create my theme I took the default, and modified it and changed the CSS and did this and did that. Did I do something I shouldn’t have here? Can you take your blog and change the theme to default and it still look correct? BTW, no, I didn’t use the wysiwyg.
I do have <?php comments_template(); ?> in my single.php. And yes I have tried disabling all plugins. No comments still.
No prob with your response time. I appreciate any assistance you can provide. Thanks
Can you take your blog and change the theme to default and it still look correct?
If you didn’t alter the default, I mean you have a copy that has no modifications at all, then switching to that theme should (at least in theory) exclude any problems caused by your custom theme. Of course, because of its narrow layout it might have problem like not being able to show correctly a wide picture… but your deafult seems to be not working properly: it has changed fonts, missing posts title etc.
Get an unaltered copy of the default (looking at the source code I can see you messed aound with the code making mistakes) and see if it works.

OK, I was using an unaltered copy of the default theme, but I was still using my old index.php file. I placed the default theme’s index.php in my root directory and thats what you see now. Comments still dont work.
Do you have comments turned on?

If that’s true – it is completely wrong!
You place the theme’s index file in the theme directory, never in the WP root. In the WP root you nned another index file (the so-called “short and sweet”).

What I said: upload a completely “virgin” default theme with all the files it comes with – instead of what you have now.
Or switch to the classic.
BTW, do you have a comments.php file in your theme folder?

jabecker, Yes, I do have comments turned on.
moshu, I downloaded wordpress v2.2, and uploaded the default theme to my theme directory. This has the comment.php file in it, as well as my theme.
When I said I had my index.php file in my root directory, I meant my /public_html/ directory. I did this a while ago, and not sure why. You are saying this is not correct?
Thanks
