 * Ok,
 * Now that I’m starting to figure this out: when I click on “editor” in the appearance
   tab, the fresh news child theme coding comes up. This is what it says:
 *     ```
       /*
       Theme Name: Fresh News Child
       Description: Child theme for the WooThemes "Fresh News" theme
       Author: William Snider
       Template: freshnews
       */
   
       @import url("../freshnews/style.css");
   
       /* removes "comments off" and comment bubble from posts */
       .date-comments .fr, #comments {
       display:none;
       }
   
       /* shortens space above and below logo in header */
       #header {
           padding: 0 0 0 10px;
       }
   
       /* matches header height with background image height, to show all of bgr image */
       #header {
       height: 160px;
       }
   
       /* removes page titles
       .page .title { display:none } */
   
       /* removes "subscribe: posts / comments" from top nav */
       #top .subscribe {
           display: none;
       }
   
       /* removes tags from after posts */
       .tags {
       display:none;
       }
   
       /* aligns featured post text vertically with top of featured image */
       .featuredpost .entry p {
           padding-top: 8px;
       }
   
       /* shortens space between featured post title and excerpt, inclusive of the date and 1px divider */
       .post .date-comments {
       	height: 20px;
       }
   
       /* centers widget titles */
       .widget h3 {
       text-align:center;
       }
   
       body #gform_wrapper_1 .top_label .gfield_label {
       width: 110px;
       }
   
       body #gform_wrapper_1 .gfield_description {
       padding-top: 0px;
       padding-bottom: 5px;
       }
       ```
   
 * So if I just delete the “/* removes “comments off” and comment bubble from posts*/
   .
   date-comments .fr, #comments { display:none; }” part, will it replace the comments
   box?

 * Actually, it is for sure the child theme. If I just activate Fresh News theme,
   there are comments. But it looks like crap with that theme by itself. How can
   I change the child theme to make it work?

 * First, no the theme doesn’t have any options for comments whatsoever. This is
   the them I’m using: FRESH NEWS CHILD FRESH NEWS 3.2.1 FRAMEWORK 5.5.1
 * As for switching to the TwentyTwelve theme, comments do appear there.
 * Is it the child theme that’s disrupting everything?
