 * Good morning,
 * I’m working on creating my first custom wordpress theme and I can’t get the comments
   to display.
 * I looked at my error log and I’m getting this:
 * [07-Jan-2014 08:31:44] PHP Warning: call_user_func(twentytwelve_comment) [[function.call-user-func](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comments-not-displaying-10/function.call-user-func?output_format=md)]:
   First argument is expected to be a valid callback in /home/dev/public_html/juddhoos/
   wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 1627
 * I tried this solution: [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-comments-not-displaying?replies=5](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/blog-comments-not-displaying?replies=5)
   to no avail.
 * Below is my comments.php file.
 * Do I need something specific in functions.php to make the comments work?
 * Thanks!
 *     ```
