Hi Mike,
I did some tests and I think it works, I have modified the file comments.php
For me it worked, I put the file bellow, if you want to try:
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) return; ?>
<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
<div class="comments-container">
<div class="comments-inner">
<a name="comments"></a>
<div class="comments-title-container">
<h2 class="comments-title">
<?php echo count($wp_query->comments_by_type['comment']) . ' ';
echo _n( 'Comment' , 'Comments' , count($wp_query->comments_by_type['comment']), 'lovecraft' ); ?>
</h2>
<?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
<p class="comments-title-link">
<a href="#respond"><?php _e('Add Comment','lovecraft'); ?> →</a>
</p>
<?php endif; ?>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div>
<div class="comments">
<ol class="commentlist">
<?php wp_list_comments( array( 'type' => 'comment', 'callback' => 'lovecraft_comment' ) ); ?>
</ol>
<?php if (!empty($comments_by_type['pings'])) : ?>
<div class="pingbacks">
<h3 class="pingbacks-title">
<?php echo count($wp_query->comments_by_type['pings']) . ' ';
echo _n( 'Pingback', 'Pingbacks', count($wp_query->comments_by_type['pings']), 'lovecraft' ); ?>
</h3>
<ol class="pingbacklist">
<?php wp_list_comments( array( 'type' => 'pings', 'callback' => 'lovecraft_comment' ) ); ?>
</ol>
</div> <!-- /pingbacks -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : ?>
<div class="comments-nav" role="navigation">
<div class="fleft">
<?php previous_comments_link( '← ' . __( 'Previous', 'lovecraft' ) ); ?>
</div>
<div class="fright">
<?php next_comments_link( __( 'Next', 'lovecraft' ) . ' →' ); ?>
</div>
<div class="clear"></div>
</div> <!-- /comment-nav-below -->
<?php endif; ?>
</div> <!-- /comments -->
</div> <!-- /comments-inner -->
</div> <!-- /comments-container -->
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( ! comments_open() && ! is_page() ) : ?>
<div class="comments-container">
<div class="comments-inner">
<p class="no-comments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'lovecraft' ); ?></p>
</div>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php comment_form(); ?>
