Wordpress comments not showing

Immaking my first theme and Im trying to show comments on the post, but for some reason its not working.

This is single.php:

comments_template();        //SOmeone said its necessary...

echo get_comments_number(); //This returns 2

if (have_comments()):       //This returns "Has not"
    echo "Has";
else:
    echo "Has not";
endif;

What am I missing?

Solution

  • You have to call comments_template() first, otherwise have_comments() does not work.

    Don't ask me why, it's an idiosyncrasy of WordPress.
