First comment to a post doesn’t display

I solved my particular problem with the comments. I noticed all comments were appearing in the page source code but only the even numbered comments actually showed on the page. Weird. I also noticed the missing comments were classed as ‘alt’ in the source code. Probably for a styling reason, but I just wanted them to show on the page.

In comments.php I made the following change in two places:

I changed $oddcomment = ‘class=”alt” ‘; into $oddcomment = ‘ ‘;

and that seems to have done the trick.
