Title: Second Post…. Comments not working Last modified: August 18, 2016 --- # Second Post…. Comments not working * [rgrieselhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgrieselhuber/) * (@rgrieselhuber) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/) * Hello, * I just upgraded my installation to 1.5.1 and when I click on the comments link, it just shows the individual archive with no form to post comments. * I have searched the forums and I have not been able to find an answer for this. I tried replacing my comments.php page with the one from the Kubrick and the default theme to no avail. * If it helps, my URL is [http://www.firewatching.com/ray/blog](http://www.firewatching.com/ray/blog) * I am using the Kubrick theme as a base for my theme. * Thanks in advance… * Ray Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 16 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/page/2/?output_format=md) * [prissed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prissed/) * (@prissed) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206360) * in your single.php file, add this line: * * It calls the comments.php file/template * [Michael Bishop](https://wordpress.org/support/users/miklb/) * (@miklb) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206361) * Not sure, but try fixing the couple of validation errors first, then maybe something will show up in the source. * Thread Starter [rgrieselhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgrieselhuber/) * (@rgrieselhuber) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206399) * I don’t see a single.php file… do you mean index.php? * [lxg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mastermind/) * (@mastermind) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206400) * you can edit _single.php_ in the admin panel at Presentation -> Theme Editor - > [your theme] -> Post Template. * Thread Starter [rgrieselhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgrieselhuber/) * (@rgrieselhuber) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206402) * Oh – I don’t have a post template (no single.php) in my theme – I’m using Kubrick. * Does that matter? * [prissed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prissed/) * (@prissed) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206437) * Unless you deleted some of the files, kubrick _does_ come with a single.php and your site is using the single.php file because your individual post pages are different from your index page. * It will be in: /wp-content/themes/{theme_name}/single.php * Add the code I posted above just above the “endwhile” statement. * Thread Starter [rgrieselhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgrieselhuber/) * (@rgrieselhuber) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206614) * I looked and I didn’t have a single.php in my theme – apparently I didn’t need one in 1.2.1 in order for comments to work on my template. But this stopped working when I upgraded… * So I copied the single.php from Kubrick into my theme and it still doesn’t work. I verified that the code you pasted is in there… * When I use the default kubrick theme in 1.5, I get a comments form, but it’s only a text area, not the full comments form that includes name, email, url, etc. * If you look at my site now, you can see it with the single.php copied unchanged from the Kubrick template. Comments are still not showing up… * Thanks, * Ray * [oriecat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oriecat/) * (@oriecat) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206617) * When using the default theme, did it show “Logged in as .” over the text area? If so, check your users list and make sure there is no blank one. * [oriecat](https://wordpress.org/support/users/oriecat/) * (@oriecat) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206620) * Your single.php doesn’t seem to be right, since you’re not getting your header either. * Thread Starter [rgrieselhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgrieselhuber/) * (@rgrieselhuber) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206627) * I checked and it does say “logged in as” for my name. I had another user with the same nickname but no first and last name so it must have been created when I imported from my MT blog. * I agree on the problem with single.php but I don’t know why it doesn’t work because I just copy-pasted from the default theme into my own… Any ideas? * [trepryor](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trepryor/) * (@trepryor) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206628) * I may be having some similar situation. * [http://www.trepryor.com/](http://www.trepryor.com/) * Comment links show up, but when you click, you get no form. I’m baffled. * [prissed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prissed/) * (@prissed) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206839) * If your current theme came from 1.2, and you getting other files from 1.5, you’re probably missing the header.php and footer.php. The 1.5 single.php pulls the header and footer from separate files, whereas the old kubrick was just one index. php file. * You’ll either have to edit the 1.5 kubrick header and footer files, or create your own header.php and footer.php from your (old) 1.2->1.5 index.php * OR…remove `` and `` from the single. php and add your header and footer code in their respective places. * Thread Starter [rgrieselhuber](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rgrieselhuber/) * (@rgrieselhuber) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206880) * And the other problem is I’m still not getting the comments form when I use the single.php in my theme… * Also, in the default Kubrick template, the comments form is a single text area. It used to be the full comments form with name, email, url, and message. Is there some option to make all these fields show up? Or is there another version of the kubrick template that has these? * [prissed](https://wordpress.org/support/users/prissed/) * (@prissed) * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/second-post-comments-not-working/#post-206881) * > “Is there some option to make all these fields show up?” * Yes.
