I’m not sure if that would work if the database has been changed. What do you think?
I’m having the same problem! Did you ever find a solution?
I inserted the “<?php comments_template(); ?>” code into the page.php of the new theme and got the comments working but there is no place to enter name and email to post even though the checkbox in “Settings>Comments>”Comment author must fill out name and e-mail” is checked. Thanks for your help nazcar!
