Wow! Kathryn! How nice of you to share so much usefull information!! I think I will make it now… I’m struggling a little bit on the content.php (have been creating child-themes the old way until some years ago… have to start all over…)…

But I really see the light at the end now, and want to take the time to learn… so Thank you!
And if I ever need more help, I hope to read your answers again!!

Thanks Kathryn, this solves the issue on the posts-type pages but on the homepage the comment block still doesn’t appear while in the code for the page and post templates I see the same code referring to the posts so I thought that it should appear above the share buttons…

I already tried to do so by adding

<blockquote><?php
      if ( comments_open() || '0' != get_comments_number() ) :
	comments_template();
      endif;
  ?></blockquote>

but that changed nothing…

is it since an upgrade of the plugin? maybe they changed the languagecode??

I would strongly recommend asking your developer specifically to put the changes in a childtheme (much safer already when upgrading) but keep in mind that it is possible that there will be major changes in the future that affect your changes too… WordPress forces you to keep your site up to date from a technical point of view… a good relationship with your developer is therefor important too.

To be totally honest with you: I don’t think either of them is trying to mislead you. I’ve learned the hard way too:
back-ups and childthemes are quite important when working in WordPress yourself. And as long as you don’t feel comfortable in CSS and PHP I wouldn’t go for an update-adventure on my own…

You’ll have to look for #content in your CSS-sheet. In the page.php file you’ll find which CSS will need to be altered

I already had twentytwelve on my site and just upgraded to 3.5.1… it works fine… and since twenty twelve is the default theme that seems pretty logic.
It must be the PHP-version that is causing you trouble…
