    Notice: Theme without comments.
   php is deprecated since version 3.0 with no alternative available. Please include
   a comments.php template in your theme. in /home/johntip2/public_html/wp/wp-includes/
   functions.php on line 3424

 * try switching to the default theme (that came with your version of WP) for a 
   moment by renaming your current theme’s folder in wp-content/themes. The idea
   is to force WordPress to fall back to the default theme to rule out any theme-
   specific issue.
