 * Hey there!
 * I am creating a new word press theme, and have gone to add a comments form. However,
   when I add a comment I get the following error:
 * Warning: call_user_func() expects parameter 1 to be a valid callback, function‘
   tranquil_comment’ not found or invalid function name in /home/tranquil/public_html/
   john/wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 1334
 * Does anyone know that this means? If you can help I will be most helpful.
 * Kind Regards,
    Jonathan knight.

 * Pretty much what it says on the tin. You have referenced a function called tranquil_comment()
   that you have not actually defined in your theme’s functions.php file.

 * This is going to sound really nooby.. but how would I add that to my functions.
   php file? I’ve completely lost my mind… I keep getting errors xD

 * You would just create it like any other function. Right now, we don’t really 
   have any idea what the function is for.

 * Basically, I have a comment form. The form works perfectly.. it adds comments
   to be approved by an admin etc. The only issue is when it comes to viewing comments
   on the single posts page, you just get a warning come up.

 * We know that bit. But we have no idea why you are using this function, where 
   in the code this function is being called or what the function is supposed to
   do.
