 * Developing a new theme from scratch right now the post displays but there are
   no comments shown. I have <?php comments_template(); ?> in the single.php page.
   What am I missing…?

 * Does your theme’s comments.php file include a call to [wp_list_comments(](https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_list_comments))?

 * what code is in comments.php of your theme?
 * also, while you are still developing, keep a check on the validation:
