Comments Section help!!

  • My comments won’t display properly!! I am using the WP for Designers screencast from themeforest.net and I have suddenly run into trouble. My comments are all messed up and not displaying properly. I get repeat posts, and when I try to comment, I am taken to a blank page. Any help would be appreciated. This is my comment code:

    <?php
if(!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])){
	die('Please do not load this page directly.');
}
if(post_password_required()){
?>
	<p>This post is password protected.</p>
<?php return; } ?>

<?php
//Display comment loop
if(have_posts()) :
?>
	<h2><?php comments_number('Be the first to comment!', 'One Comment', '% Comments'); ?></h2>
	<ol id='comments_section'>
		<?php wp_list_comments(array('avatar_size'=>80, 'reply_text'=>'Reply to this comment.')); ?>
	</ol>
	<div><?php paginate_comments_links(); ?></div>
	<?php
	else ://If no comments so far
	?>

	<?php if('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
	<p>Have your say!</p>
	<?php else :?>
	<p>Comments currently closed.</p>
		<?php endif;?>
	<?php endif; ?>
<?php if('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>

<div id='respond'>
	<h2><?php comment_form_title(); ?></h2>

	<div id='cancel-comment-reply'>
		<small><?php cancel_comment_reply_link(); ?></small>
	</div>

	<?php if(get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID): ?>
		<p>You must be logged in to comment.</p>
	<?php else : ?>
	<form action="<?php echo get_option('site_url'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">

	<?php if($user_ID) :?>
	<p>Logged in as <a href="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?></a></p>

	<?php else : ?>
		<p><input type='text' name='author' id='author' value="<?php echo $comment_author;?>" />
		<label for='author'>Name</label></p>
		<p><input type='text' name='email' id='email' value="<?php echo $comment_author_email;?>" />
		<label for='email'>Mail <?php if($req) echo '(Required field)';?></label>
		</p>
		<p>
		<input type='text' name='url' id='url' value="<?php echo $comment_author_url; ?>" />
		<label for='url'>Website</label>
		</p>
	<?php endif; ?>
	<div><?php comment_id_fields(); ?>
	<input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo htmlspecialchars($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'])?>" />
	</div>

	<p><textarea id='comment' name='comment' cols='50' rows='10'></textarea></p>

	<?php if(get_option('comment_moderation') == '1'){ ?>
		<p>Comment moderation is enabled. No need to resubmit comments.</p>
	<?php } ?>

	<p><input type='submit' name='submit' id='submit' value='Submit' /></p>
	<?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
	</form>
	<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

    This is my header code:

    <html xmlns="https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" <?php language_attributes();?>>
<head>
	<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content='<?php bloginfo("html_type");?> charset=<?php bloginfo("charset");?>'/>
	<title><?php bloginfo('name') ;?><?php wp_title('||'); ?> </title>
	<link rel='stylesheet' href='<?php bloginfo("stylesheet_url");?>' type='text/css' media='screen' />
	<?php if(is_singular()){ wp_enqueue_script('comment-reply');} ?>
	<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

<body>
	<div id='wrap'>

	<!--Begin Header-->
		<div id='header'>
			<h1><a href="<?php echo get_option('home');?>/"><?php bloginfo('name');?></a></h1>
			<div class='tagline'><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></div>
			<ul id='nav'><?php wp_list_pages('title_li='); ?></ul>

		</div>
	<!--End Header-->

    This is my single.php code:

    <?php get_header(); ?>
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<div class='single_post'>
	<?php if(have_posts()) : while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

		<h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2>

		<div class='single_entry'>
			<em>Article posted on <?php the_time('l, F, jS, Y'); ?> at <?php the_time(); ?></em>
			<?php the_content(); ?>
			<?php the_tags(); ?>
			<?php edit_post_link('Edit this post...', '<p>', '</p>'); ?>
			<div class='promote'>
			<h2>Enjoy this article?</h2>
			<p>Please subscribe to our <a href="<?php bloginfo('rss2_url'); ?>">RSS Feed</a></p>
			</div>
			<?php comments_template(); ?>
		</div>

		<?php endwhile; else: ?>
		<h3>Sorry but we could not find what you were looking for.</h3>
		<div><?php get_search_form(); ?></div>
		<?php endif; ?>
</div>
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/footer.php'); ?>

    Here is a screenshot of what is happening

    Any suggestions?
