# Adding comments in one page theme

 * Hello, I am using a custom one page theme (the content is scolling up and down
   for the different areas) where I have area News. I want to display the full news,
   title and comments (if possible I would like to make the comments show in some
   popup window or activated on click div)
 * Atm I am using this where my news area is:
 *     ```
       <?php the_title(); ?>
        <?php the_content(); ?> <br />
         <?php endwhile; ?>
       ```
   
 * I tried to add `<?php comments_template(); ?>` to the code above, but it does
   nothing.
    Can you please give me some pointers ?
 * Thanks for your time

 * Do you have a comments.php?
 * comments template needs something to load. By default it looks for comments.php

 * Hello, thanks for your reply.
    I’ve put the comments.php file from twentyten 
   theme in my theme folder, yet nothing shows up.

 * Well…. the twentyten comments.php mostly houses a callback to twentyten’s functions.
   php
 * That may be the issue

 * I’ve changed the code on the index.php to
 *     ```
       <?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
       <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'single' ); ?>
       <?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
       ```
   
 * Still, on the index page the comments don’t show, they show only when the post
   is open like this [http://localhost/?p=106](http://localhost/?p=106)
 * functions and comments files are from twentyeleven.

 * usually on index.php, comments are brought in using comments_popup_link
 * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_popup_link](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_popup_link)
 * Which leads to the full form on the single view using comments_template
 * and then for more fun, often
 *     ```
       if ( is_singular() && get_option( 'thread_comments' ) )
       		wp_enqueue_script( 'comment-reply' );
       ```
   
 * is in the header to allow for threaded comments to function properly
