    Hi there!

    I’m having trouble with getting the “Comments are closed.” text to appear on a post page. The comment form goes away as desired, but the replacement text doesn’t appear. Here’s the code in my comments.php theme file. Any ideas?

    <div id="comments">
	<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
	<p>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments</p>
</div>

	<?php
			/* Stop the rest of comments.php from being processed,
			 * but don't kill the script entirely -- we still have
			 * to fully load the template.
			 */
			return;
		endif;
	?>

	<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

	<h1><?php comments_number( 'No Comments Yet', '1 Comment', '% Comments' ); ?></h1>

	<ol class="comments">
		<?php wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'starkers_comment' ) ); ?>
	</ol>

	<?php
		/* If there are no comments and comments are closed, let's leave a little note, shall we?
		 * But we don't want the note on pages or post types that do not support comments.
		 */
		elseif ( ! comments_open() && ! is_page() && post_type_supports( get_post_type(), 'comments' ) ) :
	?>

	<h1>Comments are closed</h1>

	<?php endif; ?>

	<?php comment_form(array('title_reply'=>'<h1>Share your thoughts</h1>')); ?>

</div><!-- #comments -->

    the ‘comments are closed’ part is in the elseif part of the if ( have_comments() ) and will therefore only show if the post does not have any comments.

    change the relevant section for instance to:

    <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>

	<h1><?php comments_number( 'No Comments Yet', '1 Comment', '% Comments' ); ?></h1>

	<ol class="comments">
		<?php wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'starkers_comment' ) ); ?>
	</ol>

	<?php endif; ?>

<?php /* If comments are closed, let's leave a little note, shall we?
		 * But we don't want the note on pages or post types that do not support comments.
		 */
	if ( ! comments_open() && ! is_page() && post_type_supports( get_post_type(), 'comments' ) ) :
	?>

	<h1>Comments are closed</h1>

	<?php endif; ?>
