 * I just switched to WordPress JetPack 1.4 and the comment function looks very 
   nice. But not on my website. It is not shown. Is there something like a shortcode
   or something to make use of this cool feature? My WordPress version is also updated
   to 3.4.

 * Thanks Jeremy, your plugin is great.
 * But if I ask the question is because I have tried several options and I have 
   not succeeded.
 * Maybe someone can tell me which part of the code I have to replace which other
   code.

 * Hi! I have the same issue with Jetpack Comments. Although I activated it and 
   configured & saved it nothing changed. Please assist if everyone has solved it.

 * Sorry I can’t figured out… in all my websites I call the comment section with
   
   comments_template(); I don’t use any custom comment template file, only personalize
   with css few little stuff ( color, font ecc… )
 * But it doesn’t show the new jetpack comment.
    Do I do something wrong?
 * thanks!

 * Sorry I just find now…
    Just call comment_form(); instead of comments_template();
 * thanks!

 * I am going to switch all my blogs to Jetpack which is made by the same people
   who make WordPress. So the integration is excellent and very blog like.

 * Probably this is not an advertising post… the title is “Comments not shown in
   JetPack”… so?
 * Anyway for developer, the problem was that you must have the template file comments.
   php in your template, and then insert comment_form() in that file instead of 
   the form tag, and not substitute it with comments_template(); where you have 
   to call the comments block.
