Comments link doesn’t work with default code

    Originally I was using the default theme loop in my own theme and in particular the block below:

    <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?>

    When using the default theme, I clicked on no comments under the post and it went through to display the post on its own with the comments input form underneath.

    When using my theme, I clicked on no comments under the post it went through to display the post alone with no comment input form.

    The code in the two themes was identical.

    I have added the following code to my theme and now it displays the comments (if there are any) and the input form below.

    <?php comments_template(); ?>

    My question is why do I need that extra line of code in my theme to show the comments and the comment input form when the default theme does not need that extra line of code?

    I know this isn’t what you would call life threatening but it is bugging me…

  • <?php comments_template(); ?>

    is in the default theme….. in single.php (is that what you were referring to?)

    You have so answered the question! I had the page single missing from my theme which of course is where the correct code is.

    Thank you so much.
