Problems with theme in Wordpress blog, need help.

I posted a thread on the wordpress support forum but I am not getting any attention. Can any of you that are php/wordpress gurus take a look at this for me?

Have you been editing the comments template?

my advice would be to revert to the default comments.php template for that theme. If the default template is causing this then clearly the theme is messed up

let me know if you have any problems

Yes I have been editing it, but I already reverted it back to the original code but I am still having the same problem.

 

that's really strange...I copied your code into my editor and I can not see the error....

Have you tried contacting the theme designer? Your only other option is to use another theme...the theme you are using is possibly not compatible with your version of WordPress...

that does happen sometimes, unfortunately

 

it is because you haven't close a php if

may be see this code i have closed the php ifs.. not too sure about the closing.. find out which if is to be closed and where it should be closed..

this code should work for you..but do correct it...

<?php // Do not delete these lines
	if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME']))
		die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');

        if (!empty($post->post_password)) { // if there's a password
            if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {  // and it doesn't match the cookie
				?>

				<p class="nocomments">This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.<p>

				<?php
				return;
            }
        }

		/* This variable is for alternating comment background */
		$oddcomment = 'odd';
?>

<!-- You can start editing here. -->

<?php if ($comments) : ?>

<?php 

	/* Count the totals */
	$numPingBacks = 0;

	/* Loop through comments to count these totals */
	foreach ($comments as $comment) {
		if (get_comment_type() != "comment") { $numPingBacks++; }
		else { $numComments++; }
	}

?>

<?php 

	/* This is a loop for printing comments */
	if ($numComments != 0) : ?>
