    Comments were working earlier, but I received an email from a reader that comments are no longer working on my site. Looking under the Discussion settings, they appears to be enabled.

    When clicking ‘Post a Comment’ on any single post page, nothing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

    Hrm, it looks like the comments.php file isn’t executing at all on the single pages, maybe an error is coming up.

    Set WP_DEBUG to true in the wp-config.php file (manually edit that file in your root installation folder via FTP)

    define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);

    Then reload your site and see the errors that come up in the area where the comments are supposed to be.

    If nothing then check the options for the theme to see if it has one that disables commenting, else contact the the theme’s creator.

    Also take note that this theme was last updated in 2008, that’s 4ish years ago and WordPress has changed a bit since then so it’s more then likely the code needs updating.

    I think the theme creator has moved on to other projects. Please let me know if this is something I might be able to fix myself; otherwise, I might just change themes. Thanks!

    The debug option provides this:

    Yeah we’re looking for Fatal Errors at that point, not notice’s … sooo

    On a good note, I just installed the theme on my dev site and the comments are appearing just fine.

    On the bad note, it means it has something to do other then your theme, an incompatibility with a plugin maybe.

    Disable – deactivate all of your plugins and check your site again.

    Thanks a lot – I tried disabling the plugins and unfortunately got the same result. I’m not exactly sure of the timing when the comments broke, but I’m starting to think it could be related when I edited the style.css or single.php code to display the sidebar navigation and navigation bar on the home page. I guess reinstalling the theme and starting over would be the best bet? Thanks again!

    Somehow the <?php comments_template(); ?> was missing from my single.php file. Added it and problem apparently solved.
