comments form missing on blog posts

here is my single.php:

get_header(); ?>

<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

If the first operator of comments_template() is left blank, it’ll assume you have a template file named comments.php, else it will fall back to an emergency template in wp-includes/theme-compat. I’d look first at comments.php for theme-related issues.

Alternatively, I’d recommend checking the posts in question and your settings to see if post comments are being disabled by default. It could be your theme is coded to not display any comment section whatsoever if comments are disabled and there are none to display.

I hope this helps!

hey thanks for responding! I finally got it fixed after updating the theme, messing with my plugins, and changing a custom field adjustment that wordpress SEO was making automatically, that for some reason was causing blog posts to redirect to my home page, and act generally broken. even the comments form and the ability to post videos and images came back!
