Custom comments.php not working for me

I know I am reposting this but something weird happened with my last post and I got a “topic closed” when I try to edit or add anything to it!!

Hi there, I’m trying to create my own theme from scratch and I’m up to the comments part, I can’t seem to display the comments properly but everything else works ok, this is my code:

<div id="comments" class="postComments">
	<h2><?php comments_number('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?>.</h2>
<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
    <!--https://net.tutsplus.com/tutorials/wordpress/unraveling-the-secrets-of-wordpress-commentsphp-file/-->
    <ol class="commentList">
    	<?php wp_list_comments('type=comment'); ?>
    </ol>
    <div class="navigation">
    	<p class="older"><?php previous_comments_link('Older comments') ?></p>
        <p class="newer"><?php next_comments_link('Newer comments') ?></p>
    </div>
<?php endif; // end have_comments() ?>
</div>

Also would like to mention this also did not work for me:

<?php if($comments) : ?>
    <ol class="commentList">
    	<?php foreach($comments as $comment) : ?>
        <li id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>">
            <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
                <p>Your comment is awaiting approval</p>
            <?php endif; ?>
            <?php comment_text(); ?>
            <cite><?php comment_type(); ?> by <?php comment_author_link(); ?> on <?php comment_date(); ?> at <?php comment_time(); ?></cite>
        </li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ol>
<?php else : ?>
    <p>No comments yet</p>
<?php endif; ?>

I have two comments there but none are appearing and the part that displays the comment count displays 2, am I missing a function in the functions.php file? Because this file is near empty save for a few widget based functions.

Note when I am using twentyten the comments are appearing just fine.

Hope someone can help!
