Title: "Theme without comments.php" error Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # "Theme without comments.php" error * Resolved [John.Hicks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnhicks/) * (@johnhicks) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/) * Hello. I get this error when WordPress comments are active: * `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 /path/to/ mysite/wp-includes/functions.php on line 3679.` * `WP_DEBUG` is active on my site. * My theme is the X theme from Themeco. Is there any way you could look at this for future releases? * Let me know if you need any more information. * Thanks! * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/heateor-social-comments/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/heateor-social-comments/) Viewing 11 replies - 1 through 11 (of 11 total) * Plugin Author [Heateor Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heateor/) * (@heateor) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116191) * Hi, * It seems, that your theme doesn’t have a comments.php template, which our plugin uses to render default comments. We will see if an alternative can be used for this, in upcoming releases. * Thread Starter [John.Hicks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnhicks/) * (@johnhicks) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116226) * I appreciate that. In the meantime, I asked my theme’s support about this. I’ll let you know what they say. * They reply quickly, and I’ll mark this thread as resolved if the solution is not something relating to my theme, in which I could post a link to the support thread where others could resolve the same issue/get an explanation. I don’t think you should have an unresolved support thread for what amounts in my mind to a feature request. (I’ll just open another one and reference this thread if a related issue comes up.) * Plugin Author [Heateor Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heateor/) * (@heateor) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116229) * Sure. Let us know if you have any update. * Thread Starter [John.Hicks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnhicks/) * (@johnhicks) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116269) * So, I didn’t check to actually see if X has a comments.php, but it does. Here’s the thread in case something else gets posted there.

We will dig deeper into this. BTW, does that error appear even when our plugin is not active and default comment form is enabled at your website? * Thread Starter [John.Hicks](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johnhicks/) * (@johnhicks) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116352) * No. And X theme has a comments.php. * Plugin Author [Heateor Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heateor/) * (@heateor) * [10 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116355) * Okay, thanks for the info. * [jayskibob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayskibob/) * (@jayskibob) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116410) * Just to confirm, i’m also having issue with SS Vs X Theme * oldtimesfilm.com * People can register, but can’t login. And it messes up the widgets area too. * HELP!!! * Plugin Author [Heateor Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heateor/) * (@heateor) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116411) * Hi [@jayskibob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayskibob/), * As you can see, when user registers (first Social Login) using Social Login, they are redirected to [http://oldtimesfilm.com/thank-you-for-registering/](http://oldtimesfilm.com/thank-you-for-registering/) page and are not logged in (same as in the case of subsequent Social Logins). You would like to check if you have disabled login to your website (using some other plugin/functionality) OR try deactivating existing plugins one-by-one to check if any of them is interfering with Social Login functionality. * [jayskibob](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jayskibob/) * (@jayskibob) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116412) * Looks like it was a plugin conflict with “Login with Email or Username” * Thanks * Jay * Plugin Author [Heateor Support](https://wordpress.org/support/users/heateor/) * (@heateor) * [10 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/theme-without-commentsphp-error/#post-7116413) * Okay, great.
