 * Hello.
    I believe this function is missing something… Wouldn’t be good a check
   on $_post or $post_id ?
 *     ```
       function comments_open( $post_id = null ) {
         if($post_id ){
       	$_post = get_post($post_id);
            if($_post){
       	$open = ( 'open' == $_post->comment_status );
       	return apply_filters( 'comments_open', $open, $post_id );
            }
         }
       }
       ```
   
 * I say this because i get a strange error when calling comments_open() with no
   parameter:
 *     ```
       Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in /home/hutanuro/public_html/catalin/wp-includes/comment-template.php on line 776
       ```
