• When I built my custom theme I found it no longer allows visitors to leave comments on my blog. I’ve also noticed that although the blog displays the number of comments left (previous to my switching to the custom theme) the public can’t see any of these comments.

    I assume I’ve neglected to include a bit of code for this but not being very code-savvy I don’t know what, or where to find it. If people can help it would be much appreciated.

  • This is mostly due to the missing <?php comments_template();?> function in your single.php, index.php and archive.php template.

    Thanks Christine. Even this goes a bit beyond me – looking at my ftp software I have an index.php file but no archive.php or single.php file. I can see single.php in the twentyten theme folder – would it work if copied that into the folder for my theme? I can’t see an example of archive.php in the twentyten folder though.

    I thought you said you built a custom theme?

    I can see in your source code, that you have a wp-content/themes/librarium/ folder. Your theme templates should be in there. If they are not, then copy the ones from twentyten and move them in your theme folder.

    I did, following an online guide. I ended up with header, footer, index, sidebar php files and a style sheet. A few files I didn’t create have appeared in the online folder since I uploaded the theme (I assume they were automatically generated). I’ve copied the files archive.php archives.php and single.php into the librarium folder.

    When I try to access existing comments through the webpage (not the control panel) it now states:

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function twentyten_posted_on() in /home/pirateba/public_html/jaque-thay.com/author/News/wp-content/themes/librarium/single.php on line 26

    There is still no option to post a new comment though – meant to add this before pressing post.

    Sorry, I guess that’s not going to work. I forgot that twentyten has a bunch of extra functions in those files. So you’ll have to delete these… so sorry…

    In your index.php there should be a function called <?php comments_template();?>. If it’s not there, you should add it in there.

    I added that line in what looked like the right place. Error message when retrieving old comments is now:

    Warning: call_user_func(twentyten_comment) [function.call-user-func]: First argument is expected to be a valid callback in /home/pirateba/public_html/jaque-thay.com/author/News/wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 1242

    Fatal error: Call to undefined function comment_form() in /home/pirateba/public_html/jaque-thay.com/author/News/wp-content/themes/librarium/comments.php on line 77

    I’ll post the contents of the index.php file here. Looks like my header/footer/sidebar files are all duplicates of this for some reason.

    Note, the new error code came after deleting the uneeded files. With them, the error code was the same as before. I’ve included a link to one of the comments so you can see how it displays at present (error and all).
