Thanks Songdogtech!
Is there no other way to solve this, apart from changing hosting?

Just checked.
Yes, there is php file called ‘single post’ which has comments_template();
Comments php however, does not have anything called ‘comment_form()’.
Do you think its something to do with what I mentioned in the forum post above?

I’ll just have a look.
But the plot thickens.
I just published a new post, on its own, it shows up perfectly, with the comments et al: https://arjunjassal.com/?p=353
But on the page that I am posting to (the blog page), I get the latest page, but no comments box….https://arjunjassal.com/?page_id=19
This is so strange…

Hi Samuel
Your right its a page.
But I am publishing my posts onto that page (its a ‘blog’ page).
Thus, I want the comments box to show up there.
The strange thing, is that if is select ‘allow comments’ on any other page, the comments box shows up. On this page though, it just doesnt.
I also didnt quite understand how rss would solve that problem!
Thanks!
Arjun

Thanks for that.
I cant seem to find the <?php comments_template(); ?> line anywhere in the PHP that came with the template (using koi, if that helps).
Did go through the comments file (php), this is what it looks like.

<?php
// Do not delete these lines
if (!empty($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]) && ‘comments.php’ == basename($_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_FILENAME’]))

Thanks a bunch!

Thanks Alchymyth!
These values completely escaped me, will be experimenting with them soon, to get the layout just right.

Just one more thing though, no matter what I do, I’m completely unable to get the comments box show up under the posts. Have tried everything I know. Any idea on why its not showing up?

(it shows up on all pages, except the one with the posts on it).

Please have a look here: https://arjunjassal.com/?page_id=19

Thanks!
Removed the min height bit (made it 0px).
Thats helped.
But, if possible, I would want the footer to display a little higher still.
Any suggestions?

Yes, the footer still needs work.
I have allowed comments on the post. (and the page on which its posted, ie ‘blog’). But the comments box doesnt show up.
Its strange cause if I allow comments on any other page, the comments box shows up.

I suspect it does.
Because the comments box, does show up on all the other pages.
It is strange that, it just doesnt show up on the page where the posts are displayed.
Thanks again!

Thanks for your quick response and apologies for the double posting.

Removing the Google verification did the trick.
Unfortunately, the theme generates PHP, Which is a trying to grasp now, no totally didnt see the tag problems.

While the page is displaying correctly now, the space for user comments isnt showing up. This is after I have selected the ‘allow comments’ check box in both the page and the post. How can this be fixed?

Furthermore, the I am still getting 2 errors in the validator. https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=https://arjunjassal.com/%3Fpage_id%3D19&charset=(detect+automatically)&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0&user-agent=W3C_Validator/1.654
These are because, I am suppressing the footer, by converting the entire footer.php into a comment. Is this causing the comment problem as well?

Thank you for your help and patience!
