Right now there is no content in the site
if there is no content, there is nothing to comment on.
Add some content to check.

I see hello world has 1comment. But when clicked on “1comment”, nothing happens.

have you tried:
-deactivating ALL plugins temporarily to narrow down and possibly fix the problem . If the problem goes away, activate them individually to find the culprit?
-switching to the default theme (“twentyten”) 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?

I’m sure it’s my theme. I tried to make my own and forgot that I’m terrible at html!
I switched to Twenty Ten and comments works fine. I don’t know what I did but any advice on how to fix it?

It means your theme (the one you was using before switching to twentyten theme) is either broken or not compatible with 3.0.1
I don’t know what I did but any advice on how to fix it?
Either you can fix yourself.
Or you have the option of hiring a peofessional to fix it (I am not a consultant, I do this just for fun!).
See http://jobs.wordpress.net/ if you want to follow that option.

How can I check if I left comments out of my theme? No one can tell me how to add it to a theme? I took the old default theme and re-skinned it.
The Kubrick theme included comments, so you must have removed them when you edited the theme.

Does anyone know where the comments code went? The only major thing I did was remove the single.php file…maybe I should start from scratch and redesign the site using TwentyTwo as my base?

Alright so I found the old single.php file and uploaded it and I have comments back! but the reason I took out single.php is because if you click on the post it changes the layout of the site! It removes the side bard and centers the post which I don’t want. Anyone know how I can make sure that the layout stays the same?

Thanks for all your help? lol
i believe if you added <?php get_sidebar(); ?> at the bottom of Single.php. before <?php get_footer(); ?> it should show the side bar and do what you wanted to do. Also deleting the single.php would just make things worse you just need to edit it to work the way you want. But yeah i would say using twenty ten to build your own site is good, since its less likely to have bugs and built by wordpress as the latest version of wordpress.
Thats what i used to make my own site and you can make it do anything you want just need to figure out what code to edit and add.
Also make sure you learn how to use a child theme. Use a child theme when you edit twenty ten, because if you don’t you will lose all you changes when you update wordpress, i learned the hard way.
