Comments button is a text-field

Hello guys,

I am new to this forum, but hopefully I will have good experience here.

I am going through a couple of WP tutorials, namely “WordPress Forest; WordPress for Designers in 18 Days”.

So far so good, however, I recently ran into an issue, and I am quite baffled what caused it. Even after I copy-and-pasted the code, it still appears to be there.

I have attached a series of files included in the Themes directory:

single.php – https://pastebin.com/wzutWgtP
style.css – https://pastebin.com/WMrNu3Mc

The problem still persists, if anybody would be so kind to let me know what the issue is. I’ve also attached a screenshot of how it appears on my screen.

Like I said, if anybody can please help me it would be greatly appreciated.
