In the comments.php there should be ONLY what is starting at line 23 till line 97 including.
Thanks. It’s still a mess. :/ New file. http://pastebin.com/461866
Do you have a separate folder for your theme under the wp-content/themes/ ?
List the filenames in your theme, please.
This is under wp-content/themes/default. Files under default are:
images (folder)
404.php
archive.php
archives.php
comments.php
comments-popup.php
footer.php
header.php
index.php
links.php
page.php
search.php
searchform.php
sidebar
single.php
style.css
But you are NOT using the default theme! You should have read abot themes and theme development in the Codex before jumping into it… Total screw up.
WP is “smarter” than you think and if you have all those file unmodified, they will always show up and mess around with your design. E.g. if you view a single post WP will look for the single.php, which in turn will call for the header.php and show the ugly blue thingy… and so on.
Make a folder for your own theme. Period. Move there your index.php and your style.css and the comments.php (as I told you to modify). Fill out the top lines in the style.css with real data (instead of “Yourtheme” – that’s just example!)
So I thought when you asked about what folder my files were in and I’ve started moving things around already.
I’ve read more documents on this in the last few days than you can imagine. It’s just a little overwhelming for me right now because I’ve been away from the net for a while. I’ve actually used WordPress before and had no problem at all with modifying it to my liking in one day. I don’t know if WP has changed that much since releasing 1.5 or I’m just out of practice.
Anyway, thanks for the help. I’m at least moving foward again, so that’s a plus.
It has changed a lot with 1.5 when the theme system was introduced. Your index file is totally non-theme solution.
The 1.2 index file was sliced in several pieces; see here:

Yes! I came across that the other day and was going to use it for reference. Then I had to get off the computer and I could not find it again. I am bookmarking that now, though.
I knew it was very different from before. No where near as easy. Any reason why 1.2 is not still available?
