# Adding comments to a page problem!

 * I am using a theme for churches called Malaka. There is provision for Sermons,
   Events, Services and News posts all of which use the **single.php** template.
   Comments are enabled on the News posts but not the Events, Sermons or Services.
   Where should I be looking to add comments to those posts?
 * I have looked at the screen options section when creating a ‘Sermon’ but the ‘
   Disscusion’ check box is not there, neither is the ‘Comments’ checkbox!
 * The page I want to add comments to is [http://www.thotluk.org/sermon/sermon-1/](http://www.thotluk.org/sermon/sermon-1/)
 * Anyone?

 * OK to update it seems that I have an ‘if’ statement on both page.php and single.
   php as below
 *     ```
       if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
       endif;
       ```
   
 * instead of
 * `<?php comments_template(); ?>`
 * Even if I replace the ‘if’ statement with `<?php comments_template(); ?>` it 
   still doesn’t show comments??
 * Any clearer?
