 * Hi, I’m sorry — but when I click “comment” on my page, it brings me a new page
   with my post but without the comment box. It used to exist. But now it’s gone.
   I’m a little confused. I haven’t touched comments.php.
 * Any ideas?
    Thanks

 * Have you turned off comments on that particular post? Have you edited single.
   php recently?

 * Hi, ryan. Thanks for your reply.
 * Every post is missing the form for comments. I’ve checked, and comments are enabled
   for all.
 * The particular theme I am using does not have single.php. It does have a home.
   php, thought. Would that be basically the same?
 * At any rate, I have not edited it recently.
    Here is the code that links to the
   comment page– `<?php comments_popup_link(‘Comment’, ‘1 Comment’, ‘% Comments’);?
   >’

 * If there is no single.php (where the comment form is usually included) then by
   default, WordPress will use index.php to display a single post. This is where
   you should have the comment form included. But, still, why doesn’t your theme
   have a single.php? Have you changed themes lately? Did you accidentally delete
   single.php? Can you download a fresh copy of the theme and replace the old one?
   Single.php is pretty standard. Have yet to see a theme not use it.

   now it works.

 * I know this post has been around for 7 months. But I just wanted to say thanks
   it was exactly the same problem that I was having.
 * I looked in the theme folder that I had on my local machine and compared it to
   the one on the server and it was missing the single.php. I uploaded the one file
   and bingo! I now have comment boxes on my posts.
 * Thank you so much.

 * For us non-designers/coders, how do you create a single.php? The theme I’m using
   doesn’t have one either.
