Your site at saraborremans.be seems to be set to require users to log in before they can post a comment. Try turning off that requirement in Settings > Discussion by making sure “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” is unchecked.
Thanks Kathryn, this solves the issue on the posts-type pages but on the homepage the comment block still doesn’t appear while in the code for the page and post templates I see the same code referring to the posts so I thought that it should appear above the share buttons…
I already tried to do so by adding
<blockquote><?php
if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
comments_template();
endif;
?></blockquote>
but that changed nothing…
Sketch doesn’t display comment links on the blog page, only on single posts.
To add one, you could try using this function in a child theme:

Making a child theme means your changes won’t be overwritten when you update the theme. If you’re new to child themes, you can explore these guides:

You’d want to look at adding it to the content.php file in your child theme.
Let me know how it goes.
Wow! Kathryn! How nice of you to share so much usefull information!! I think I will make it now… I’m struggling a little bit on the content.php (have been creating child-themes the old way until some years ago… have to start all over…)…
But I really see the light at the end now, and want to take the time to learn… so Thank you!
And if I ever need more help, I hope to read your answers again!!

I want to enable comments on my posts and pages. In the Dashboard>Settings>Discussion they are enabled but on the site they don’t show.
As I wanted to be sure the theme was the problem I have switched templates from Sketch to TwentyFifteen and after that the possibility to add a comment is visible. So there is something wrong in the template I guess…
On top of that I haven’t edited anything in the theme… Could it be that Sketch isn’t compatible with qTranslate-X and other themes are?
Has anyone encountered the same problem?? How did you solve it?
I’d really like to continue using this theme but I need comments more…
