Child theme displaying default/comments.php? Why?

    Hi,

    Notes :

    • WordPress 2.8.4 local installation
    • Custom sandbox child theme
    • All plugins disabled
    • child theme functions.php disabled

    # Background
    I’ve made 5-8 themes with WordPress and I am a middle-advanced theme creator (not a complete beginner, not an expert).
    For the first time, I’m using sandbox, blueprint, actions and filters.

    # Situation
    I’m using a child theme (parent : the sandbox default configuration) to create my own theme.
    Everything is working fine (header/content/footer customization).
    My only problem is that comments_template() is always looking for themes/default/comments.php

    # Problem
    If my understanding is good, it should first :

    1. look for mychildtheme/comments.php
   if not found
      -> 2. look for sandbox/comments.php
      if not found
         -> 3. look for default/comments.php

    When mychildtheme activated ( and index.php, functions.php, single.php working fine), the comments section is still displaying default/comments.php
    Not even sandbox/comments.php

    The thing is : the problem happens even if I copy default/comments.php to mychildtheme and sandbox folders. So, the file comments.php should be valid.

    # Diagnostic

    • All plugins disabled
    • child theme functions.php disabled

    # Your opinion?
    How can this be possible?
    Is there anything else that I should check to ensure compatibility between default/parent/child theme?

    Thank you in advance.
