 * I dont know how to rectify it, can any one help me?
 * My single.php read as follows
 *     ```
       <?php
       /** * The Template for displaying all single posts. * * @package Graphene * @since Graphene 1.0 */
       <div class="commentsblock">
       <?php comments_template(); ?>
       </div>
       get_header(); ?>
       <?php
          /* Run the loop to output the posts.     * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file     * called loop-single.php and that will be used instead.     */	the_post();	get_template_part('loop', 'single');    ?>
          <?php get_footer(); ?>
