# 2 problems, one solution?

 * When I built my custom theme I found it no longer allows visitors to leave comments
   on my [blog](http://www.jaque-thay.com/author/News). I’ve also noticed that although
   the blog displays the number of comments left (previous to my switching to the
   custom theme) the public can’t see any of these comments.
 * I assume I’ve neglected to include a bit of code for this but not being very 
   code-savvy I don’t know what, or where to find it. If people can help it would
   be much appreciated.

 * This is mostly due to the missing <?php comments_template();?> function in your
   single.php, index.php and archive.php template.

 * Thanks Christine. Even this goes a bit beyond me – looking at my ftp software
   I have an index.php file but no archive.php or single.php file. I can see single.
   php in the twentyten theme folder – would it work if copied that into the folder
   for my theme? I can’t see an example of archive.php in the twentyten folder though.

 * I thought you said you built a custom theme?
 * I can see in your source code, that you have a wp-content/themes/librarium/ folder.
   Your theme templates should be in there. If they are not, then copy the ones 
   from twentyten and move them in your theme folder.

 * I did, following an online guide. I ended up with header, footer, index, sidebar
   php files and a style sheet. A few files I didn’t create have appeared in the
   online folder since I uploaded the theme (I assume they were automatically generated).
   I’ve copied the files archive.php archives.php and single.php into the librarium
   folder.
 * When I try to access existing comments through the webpage (not the control panel)
   it now states:
 * > Fatal error: Call to undefined function twentyten_posted_on() in /home/pirateba/
   > public_html/jaque-thay.com/author/News/wp-content/themes/librarium/single.php

 * There is still no option to post a new comment though – meant to add this before
   pressing post.

 * Sorry, I guess that’s not going to work. I forgot that twentyten has a bunch 
   of extra functions in those files. So you’ll have to delete these… so sorry…
 * In your index.php there should be a function called <?php comments_template();?
   >. If it’s not there, you should add it in there.

 * I added that line in what looked like the right place. Error message when retrieving
   old comments is now:
 * > Warning: call_user_func(twentyten_comment) [function.call-user-func]: First
   > argument is expected to be a valid callback in /home/pirateba/public_html/jaque-

 * Fatal error: Call to undefined function comment_form() in /home/pirateba/public_html/
   jaque-thay.com/author/News/wp-content/themes/librarium/comments.php on line 77
 * I’ll post the contents of the index.php file here. Looks like my header/footer/
   sidebar files are all duplicates of this for some reason.

 * Note, the new error code came after deleting the uneeded files. With them, the
   error code was the same as before. I’ve included a [link](http://www.jaque-thay.com/author/News/?p=97#comments)
   to one of the comments so you can see how it displays at present (error and all).
