    Now I feel like an idiot but I can’t figure it out.
    There’s is a template named comments.php but it makes no difference in my blog if I edit it or even delete it.

    In the page.php template (is this the template the posts use?) there’s the line “comments_template()”. Where can I find that method and check which template it uses?

  • If comments.php (yes, the comments template) does not exist with a theme, WordPress will use the Default theme’s comments.php. This is why a number of themes do not sport one.

    Oh, and the comments_template() function is found in…

    wp-includes/comment-template.php.

    Thanks!

    By copying some code from the default css file I am able to manipulate the looks of the comments.

    Still, WP refuses to use the comments.php in the theme and I get no result by editing the comments.php in the default theme. Is there another comments.php?

    “Is there another comments.php?“

    No. I can’t say what’s going on in the background here. Any chance file caching is occuring on the server, or through a WordPress plugin?

    Of course, a guestbook plugin was activated. Apparently it changed the comment template for posts too.

    Problem solved, thx again.
