Comment box does not show up on main page; only post page

    12 years, 6 months ago

    I recently migrated my wordpress.com blog to www.remarpro.com and loving it so far. The added functionality is great, but now that I “own” my site, I’m getting pick with what I want.
    I downloaded the FirsTyme theme, which is great, but my followers have mentioned that it is confusing to leave a comment since you need to click on the post title before this option is available.

    My site is

    I am not an expert on code, but understand there is probably a field I need to edit within the code in order to make this work. My theme came with multiple files to edit, include a comment.php, which I’m thinking is where the code needs to be. I’ve already backed up my site, so ready to go!

    Can someone let me know what I need to change/add to make this available? I’d like someone to be able to click on “add a comment” at the bottom of the post, or at best, click on the part that says “no comments” or ” % comment” and it will take them to the comment box.

    My php file looks like this:

    <?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
			<div id="comments-list-wrapper">
				<div class="block_dec_line"></div>
				<div class="block">

					<p class="nopassword"><?php _e('This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'firstyme'); ?></p>

				</div>
				<!-- /block -->
			</div>
			<!-- /comments-list-wrapper -->
<?php return; endif; ?>

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

			<div id="comments-list-wrapper">
				<div class="block_dec_line"></div>
				<div class="block">

					<h1><?php _e('Discussion', 'firstyme') ?> (<?php comments_number(); ?>)</h1>

					<ol class="comment_list">

						<div id="page_nav_up">
							<?php next_comments_link(); ?>
						</div>
						<!-- /page_nav_up -->

						<?php wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'firstyme_comments' ) );?>

						<div id="page_nav_down">
							<?php previous_comments_link(); ?>
						</div>
						<!-- /page_nav_up -->

					</ol>

				</div>
				<!-- /block -->
			</div>
			<!-- /comments-list-wrapper -->

<?php else : // or, if we don't have comments:
# If there are no comments and comments are closed
if ( ! comments_open() ) :
# If there are no comments and comments are open
else:
endif; // end ! comments_open()
endif; // end have_comments() ?>

<?php
comment_form();
?>

    Thank you!
