 * Also if i call absolut nothing …
    No comments_template() No require or something
   else at the end of my single.php to point to my comments.
 * If the comments are open and the post have noc comments wp displays alsways the
   standard form ….
 * So i call nothing by my self or by theme wp will display it automatically 🙁
   (
   Why? Where?)
 * My single.php without the comment section lokks like this:
 *     ```
       <?php get_header(); ?>
       <div class="post">
       <div class="post_bg">
       <div class="post_cont">
       <?php  the_post(); ?>
       <div class="post_meta">
       <?php the_date(); ?><br/>
       </div>     
       <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>
       <?php the_content(); ?>    
       </div>      
       </div>
       </div>
       <?php get_footer(); ?>
       ```
   
 * If i open a post where comments active and with comments in it nothing gets displayed.
   (
   yeh its right there is nothing to display without the comments code in single.
   php)
 * If i open a post where comments active and no comments it displays the comment
   form ??
 * I also have the same behavior when i load the standard twenty twenty wp theme…
 * I dont get it *gg*

 * [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/)
 * Thanks again 🙂
 * I designed the theme from scratch by my self the only thing that is missing is
   the comments part so i know that there is no code somewhere in the theme that
   hook in the comments …
 * You are right normally you call the **comments_template() function and this function
   load the comments.php and the comments-template** but if we have a closer look
   this function does nothing if there are no comments in the post.
    [WordPress reference](https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/comments_template/)
 * It say it clear in the description and also if you look at the first if then 
   you see that when the post has not a single comment it just returns:
 *     ```
          if ( ! ( is_single() || is_page() || $withcomments ) || empty( $post ) ) {
               return;
           }
       ```
   
 * So the comments.php wont get loaded … because the function does nothing.
 * **BUT**
 * If the comments are open in a post and there is not a single comment **a standard
   comment form gets displayed**
 * So i call comments_template() function in my single.php this function just returns
   and does nothing because there is no single comment … **where did the standard
   comment form comes from ??? (must be a word press standard)** …
 * I see two ways to get what i want …
 * 1. get the comments_template() function to load also if there no comments in 
   the post
    It works when i change it but i dont want do change core files maybe
   there is a other way.
 * 2. I find out where this standart form come from when there is no comment in 
   the post and hook in there …
 * Thank you 🙂

 * [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/)
 * Than you for your help again.
 * What i try to get:
    I have two tabs in my comment.php one holds the comments 
   the other the form for post and answer … this works fine.
 * My problem starts if comments are open and there is not at least one comment.
 * Here i also want that the tabs (comment.php) gets displayed with the form tab
   activated “Post the first comment … “.
 * So i just want to handle the “comments are open but there is no comment” case
   inside the comments.php
 * But there is some function/hook that prevent me from do that …
 * **Also when i call the comments.php direct per require() in single.php i have
   the same issue:**
 * In the Post with comments the comment.php gets displayed (without comments because
   i miss some functions from the comments_template() function but thats not the
   point ..)
 * In the Post without comments (but comments are open) i get displayed the standard
   from so the comments.php wont get loaded at all 🙁
 * As said i think there is somewhere a function that say:
    If in the post comments
   are open dont load the comments.php just display the form.
 * And this behavior i try to change to … also point to comments.php …
 * But i dont find the point to hook in …
    All i figured out is that it has nothing
   do to with the comments.php and also not realy with the comments_template(); 
   function because when i call comments.php without it directly over require i 
   have the same issue …
 * Thank you 🙂

 * [@bcworkz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcworkz/)
 * THANK YOU for pointing me in the right direction !!
 * I have also:
 *     ```
       if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) {
       		comments_template();
       	}
       ```
   
 * In my single.php and when i have a look at comment-template.php in the first 
   If says (among other) !$withcomments and return; so its logical that the comments.
   php wont get loaded.
 * My solution was to change …
 * Sorry if someone read my solution sad to say it was nonesense 🙁
 * So i know why my comments.php wont get loaded because its the if in the comment-
   template.php …
 * Is there a way to override that ?
    I would like to handle the no post case also
   in my comments.php
 * Thank you !

    Sure ! Sorry 
   that i dont privide it in the first post because i see that it wont get loaded
   at all if i check the output html there is no trace of it.
 * Please ignore the have_comments() if i have insert it because first i thougt 
   maybe it would make a difference (code with comments / code without comments)
 *     ```

 * Hello,
 * Sorry i am in work so my answer may be is a little bit short …
    (Cant explain
   it in the detail at the moment)
 * The good news:
    Now i see what you want do to 🙂
 * The bad news:
    The images in this case are not simple background images there
   is a little bit more css behind them.
 * My english is not the best but i try to explain whats going on:
    In your case
   to keep it simple we have in the basic 3 types of div layers. 1. Text with no
   background (you can look through) 2. Text with background color (you cant look
   through) 3. A Image Div.
 * The Image Div is fixed in the background.
 * The other layers lay on top (over the Image div) and they are scrollable.
 * Text with background color
    Text with no background Text with background color
 * So now if you scroll the divs in front you can see the fixed backgorund image
   through the divs with no background color.
 * Just like:
    Take a piece of paper cut a square in it. Now take a image and put
   the paper on top of it. Slide the paper up and down …
 * As I said i cant explain the code side at the moment but try this:
 * open the main.css
    search for .home-inner and replace it with:
 *     ```
       .home-inner {
           background-image: url('../img/computers.png');
       }
       ```
   
 * open the fixed.css:
    search for .home-inner and replace it with:
 *     ```
       .home-inner {
        position: fixed;
         display: block;
         top: 0;
         left: 0;
         width: 100%;
         height: 100%;
         background-size: cover;
         background-position: center center;
         -webkit-transform: translateZ(0);
         transform: translateZ(0);
         will-change: transform;
       }
       ```
   
 * Now you should see the backgroundimage.

 * I just looked closer on your code example ….
 * If you want the backgroundimage span the section given in html like:
    <!– Start
   of Landing Page Image –> <!– End of Landing Page Image –>
 * You should hook the image to the landing and not to the home-inner class …

 * Hello,
 * Without to see how the site react its a little bit difficult in that case …
 * But when i get you right you just want a landig page image !?
    So a backgroundimage
   over the complete viewport ?
 * When i am right you should anchor it in the head section of your site.
    Or much
   easier simply use the html::before css selector for it.
 * This should give you a background image over/behind the whole Site:
 *     ```
       html::before {
       content: ' ';
       display: block;
       background-image: url(background.jpg);
       background-position: center center;
       background-size: 100% 100%;
       background-repeat: no-repeat;
       height: 100vh;
       width: 100vw;
       top: 0;
       bottom: 0;
       left: 0;
       right: 0;
       position: fixed;
       z-index: -10; // This is pretty important.
       }
       ```
