Comments not appearing even though turned on overall and on posts

Hello,

I am using a somewhat older but heavily edited version of blogolife (1.8). Recently, comments (which do exist in admin) do not appear any more on each post (even though it says, e.g. “3 comments”) and the space where they belong is nonexistent on a post. (They used to appear fine). I have checked that comments are allowed overall and in quick edit the commments are allowed for specific posts.

What can I do or what modification can I make to the code to re-allow comments even though a somewhat older version of the theme (blogolife 1.8)? (I engaged in so much work to modify the theme that updating would not be an option).

Here is an example where there are three comments, none of which appear (even though it says “3 comments” just above the blank new comment box.

Thanks for any help on what tweak might bring back the comments.
