Post comments not displaying

    Hi everyone,

    I am new to this forum so please accept my apologies if I have posted this in the wrong section.

    I recently changed my site to a themeshock theme, which was all going very well until I noticed my post comments aren’t displaying. The comments box displays, it says you have ‘x’ number of comments, but the actual comments arent showing up.

    I have approved all my comments, on each post comments are allowed, <?php comments_template(); ?> is in the necessary php files. I just cant figure out why the comments aren’t displaying, and it is becoming very frustrating. Is there a piece of CSS I could add or anything else I can try?

    Any help would be massively appreciated and my url is http://www.mummyandthebeastie.com/

    Cheers
    Alex

    I could not find “themeshock theme” in the WP free theme directory.

    is it a paid theme? If it is, you may want to contact the vendor.

    Yes, it is a paid theme…. Already contacted the vendor but unfortunately they couldn’t help as they no longer support the theme.

    edit: don’t do this if you are not confident with dealing with php and whatever might happen during testing; and if you are not confident working and editing using ftp.

    for troubleshooting:

    edit wp-config.php and enable error messaging for debugging:
    http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_wp-config.php#Debug
    http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Editing_wp-config.php

    you should get some warnings and error messages when you view your site.

    then possibly look into comments.php and try to find the comments loop;

    your site (for example the ten comments of the top post) is outputting some (empty, half broken) comments list;

    from the html code of the top single post in the browser:

    <ol class="commentlist">
		<ul class='children'>
</li>
</ul>
</li>
<ul class='children'>
</li>
</ul>
.....
</li>
	</ol>
