Enabling comments on custom posts

I'm having problems with enabling comments on the single-art.php page. I can get comments appearing on the art.php page (via the standard page settings). Checking the comments option when creating the custom fields hasn't helped either and the comment code does exist in the PHP file. Any help appreciated! Thanks

Hi,

Have you added comments support to the custom post type?

If you look here: https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_post_type and scroll down about three quarters, you'll see an example where they've added 'comments' as one of the array values in the supports part of registering a post type.
