Figured it out! It goes in the loop.php here:
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>#more" class="more">
Comments</a>
I had deleted the word “comments” there at the end so that the link wouldn’t show up, and once I added it back in, everything worked!
Thanks mytax. Not sure why the link isn’t working for you; it seems to be working fine for me.
I do have comments enabled in the quick edit view. What happened was I actually deleted the bit of code in my templates that made a link appear at the bottom of each post on the homepage, but now I want to add it back in and can’t remember where to put it.
