I have created a custom page template, but I don't know how to add the WordPress comment form to my <body> tag. I tried to include the following in my template.php file in the body tag, but the form won't show up:

<?php $comments_args = array('label_submit' => __( 'Send', 'textdomain' ), 'title_reply' => __( 'Write a Reply or Comment', 'textdomain' ), 'comment_notes_after' => '',
        'comment_field' => '<p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">' . _x( 'Comment', 'noun' ) . '</label><br /><textarea id="comment" name="comment" aria-required="true"></textarea></p>',
);

comment_form( $comments_args ); ?>

I am using the child theme of twenty seventeen themes.

If you want to display default Wordpress comment form then you need to call comments_template() in your template. Make sure that comment_status should be open for the particular post that you want to display the comment form.

<?php
comments_template();
?>

  • Thank. Actually my code was correct. But that comment_status=open setting was missing
