dfradin, this is not a problem I’m having. I suspect, though, that your problem may come from something related to special formatting in the templates in your theme. I would suggest, if it’s possible, testing another theme on your website (a very simple, standard one), and see if it works. If it does, then I think you’ve found that the problem comes from the templates. If it has, you may have a long road to fixing it depending on your familiarity with template code and php, but if you really want those comments on your pages, I think that’s what you’ll have to do.

Thanks for the response. I am using the standard “default” theme. I’ll run the test you suggest and let you know. Thanks again for your response.

you have a structural error on that page — thats probably your problem

you have a <div> tag that appears to be unclosed.

Thanks. Which template page(s) might the unclosed div tag be on? I have checked the page.php and it seems to fine.

Just click the “show Source” box and Revalidate. Every error line will become a link taking you exactly to where the error occurs.

I found a missing div tag in the header.php which by fixing reduced the number of errors by 2 from 9. But the sidebar is now has it listings centered.

Please take a look at validating this page:

https://www.mauimanakai.com/activities/?page_id=12

It shows line 65 is not closed:

<h3 id=”comments”>One Response to “Explorer Sea Caves”</h3

Where might that line be coming from?

No, it doesn’t say that!
This is what it says: end tag for “div” omitted, but OMITTAG NO was specified

Seemingly, you inserted your call for the comments template in the wrong place!
See, where it is in the single.php file and do it exactly like there!

that’s exactly what I suspected when I started trouble shooting. and I checked and it seemed to be right.

but I just replaced the comments.php from the source files. Guess what? It now works fine. So something was wrong with that original file.

Thanks for your help…it help me narrow down the errors.
