I've added the line <?php comments_template(); ?> to the file, but when I go to enter a comment on my blog it says "Comments are closed." I'm guessing this is just a checkbox somewhere in the dashboard I have unclicked?
I made sure to go to settings>discussion and checked "allow people to post comments on new articles" but this has not fixed it. Is there another section I am supposed to check?

Can you check the rest of the check boxes on the Settings > Discussion section?
Both of these should not be checked:
- Users must be registered and logged in to comment.
- Automatically close comments on articles older than X days.
Another thing to check would be the post itself:
- If it's older than the X days above and that is checked it could be this.
- Otherwise, on your post go to Screen Options in the top right of the screen, check the box that says discussion and when the section appears double check that Allow Comments is checkedd.
Hopefully one of those helps :)
