 * Hi,
 * During the modd’ing of my WP install to fit my site design, i seem to have removed
   the code that allows visitors to post comments. I have enabled comments in each
   of my posts.
 * I want to copy the code from one of the default templates back in to my site 
   design, but i dont know where to look.
 * Can anyone tell me which file or code segment i should start to look at for this
   code?
 * Thanks
 * Olly

 * ollym:
    Can you please provide a link to your site? What Theme are you now using?
   Were you just modifying your Theme files or some of the WordPress core files 
   in folder such as wp-includes? Does you host do backups (or do you have a backup)
   that you might restore from?

 * Im using a custom theme i created. I created a folder, /wp-content/themes/mytheme
   and created new versions of various php and css files to suit my need.
 * I dont remember changing any core files, or files outside of that folder, though
   i have installed some plug-ins.
 * I host the machine myself, and no backups are done on it, though they wouldnt
   help as I still dont know what file to look at for the code segment i need, and
   i can always get it from the install files which i have handy.

 * Are you are missing the following:
    `comments_popup_link` and/or `comments_template`?
   Check the classic theme for ideas how to use them.
