  • if your theme is using a comments.php without wp_list_comments() (some older themes do) you won’t be able to find it;

    otherwise could be anywhere in comments.php, typically more towards the end.

    what theme are you using?

    ps:
    if you refer to /wp-includes/comment.php – stop looking. WordPress core files should not be edited.

    hello ?? I have a custom theme. Here it is:

    <?php // Do not delete these lines
    if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
    die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
    
    if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
    if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) { // and it doesn't match the cookie
    ?>
    
    <p class="leavecomment">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>
    
    <?php
    return;
    }
    }
    
    /* This variable is for alternating comment background */
    $oddcomment = 'alt';
    ?>
    
    <!-- You can start editing here. -->
    
    <?php if ($comments) : ?>
    <h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number('Leave a Comment', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>
    
    <ol class="commentlist">
    
    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
    
    <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
    <div class="commentmetadata" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time() ?> <?php edit_comment_link('e','',''); ?></div>
    
    <div class="comment_author"><?php comment_author_link() ?></div>
    <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
    Your comment is awaiting moderation.
    <?php endif; ?>
    
    <div class="comment_text">
    <?php comment_text() ?>
    </div>
    
    <?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
    if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
    else $oddcomment = 'alt';
    ?>
    
    <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
    
    <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
    
    <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
    <!-- If comments are open, but there are no comments. -->
    
    <?php else : // comments are closed ?>
    <!-- If comments are closed. -->
    <p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>
    
    <?php endif; ?>
    <?php endif; ?>
    
    <?php if ('open' == $post->comment_status) : ?>
    
    <h3 id="respond">Leave a Reply</h3>
    
    <?php if ( get_option('comment_registration') && !$user_ID ) : ?>
    <p>You must be /wp-login.php?redirect_to=<?php the_permalink(); ?>">logged in to post a comment.</p>
    <?php else : ?>
    
    <form action="<?php echo get_option('siteurl'); ?>/wp-comments-post.php" method="post" id="commentform">
    
    <?php if ( $user_ID ) : ?>
    
    <p>Logged in as /wp-admin/profile.php"><?php echo $user_identity; ?>. /wp-login.php?action=logout" title="Log out of this account">Logout ?</p>
    
    <?php else : ?>
    
    <p><input type="text" name="author" id="author" value="<?php echo $comment_author; ?>" size="22" tabindex="1" />
    <label for="author"><small>Name <?php if ($req) echo "(required)"; ?></small></label></p>

    <?php endif; ?>
    <p><small>XHTML: You can use these tags: <?php echo allowed_tags(); ?></small></p>
    
    <p><textarea name="comment" id="comment" cols="75%" rows="10" tabindex="4"></textarea></p>
    
    <p><input name="submit" type="submit" id="submit" tabindex="5" value="Submit Comment" />
    <input type="hidden" name="comment_post_ID" value="<?php echo $id; ?>" />
    </p>
    <?php do_action('comment_form', $post->ID); ?>
    
    </form>
    
    <?php endif; // If registration required and not logged in ?>
    
    <?php endif; // if you delete this the sky will fall on your head ?>

    your comments.php does not have wp_list_comments().

    is there are reason why you need to have it?

    That’s like a pre-WordPress-2.7 comments.php file. Lots of changes have been made available since then (about 4 years ago).

    This would be a somewhat more modernized version of that file:

    <?php
    if (!empty($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']) && 'comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
    	die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
    if ( post_password_required() ) {
    	echo '<p class="leavecomment">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.</p>';
    	return;
    }
    
    if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
    <h3 id="comments"><?php comments_number( 'Leave a Comment', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?>to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</h3>
    
    <ol class="commentlist">
    <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>
    </ol>
    
    <div class="navigation">
    <div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
    <div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
    </div>
    <?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>
    	<?php
    	if ( comments_open() ) {
    		// If comments are open, but there are no comments.
    	} else {
    		// comments are closed
    		echo '<p class="nocomments">Comments are closed.</p>';
    	}
    endif;
    
    // display the comments form
    comment_form();

    Yikes! Still No NUMBERED Comments…..?

    If you want to “number” the comments, then that really isn’t about the HTML, it’s about the CSS.

    Your comments are displayed in an ordered-list with a class of commentlist. So probably you have code in the style.css file to take the numbering off the .commentlist code. Find and adjust that code instead.
