Hi Demi :)

Is the content not showing at all on your site? / do you have a comments.php ?

Demi, can you please post your code for the comment template and the page template.

I don't need to use a comment.php file, right? By not using the comments.php, WordPress wil use the default. But even then I'm getting the blank wp-comments-post.php. I tried to switch to another theme and posting a comment is working fine.

Does someone have an idea to fix this?
