comments.php broken post – urgent :(

    I tweaked the comments.php code, and have somehow hidden the contents of my post, but all the comments still show…
    post: https://earleyedition.com/2009/04/22/australias-top-100-journalists-and-news-media-people-on-twitter/

    This is the current code in comments.php that I think is the problem.

    <?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
	<h4>Comments</h4>
	<b><?php comments_number('No Responses', 'One Response', '% Responses' );?> to “<?php the_title(); ?>”</b>
	<ol class="commentlist">
	<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment&avatar_size=48'); ?>
	</ol>
	<div class="navigation">
		<div class="alignleft"><?php previous_comments_link() ?></div>
		<div class="alignright"><?php next_comments_link() ?></div>
	</div>

    I had been trying to remove paged comments, to make all comments appear on post page, but created the problem mentioned, and seen on post in link above. I thought the code above was the restored original, but the post remains hidden.

    I haven’t altered any other of the theme files.

    I’m not a code monkey, but there must be something blindingly obvious I’m just not getting. On another post the opposite has happened; the content is there, but the comments have disappeared.

    Thanks very much for your help.

  • Download a fresh copy of your theme and use that comments.php to see if that fixes things. Also see:

    You don’t need to edit the theme to do that. Settings->Discussion. Just turn off paged comments there.

    And put the old comments.php file back the way it was before your edits.

    Thanks iridiax, Otto.

    I had already replaced comments.php with the theme’s original comments.php file, but that didn’t fix it.

    Otto, I think I’ve put the old comments.php file back the way it was before my edits, but still no luck.

    Any other ideas? Just don’t know what else could possibly have changed in the code. I’ll try backing up every bit of code, then completely replacing with theme originals…surely that will fix it? Will report back, but I’m desperate to get this fixed.

    Thanks, someone fixed it for me.
    Apparently all my html code for the individual post somehow crammed itself into a single line.
