However, when the specific post being viewed in single.php has “Allow Comments” unchecked, I don’t want the comment template to appear.

I was under the impression that the comments_template() routine automatically managed this, but apparently I need to wrap it or pass a paramater?

  1. As far as I remember main purpose of comments_template() is to load template and specific logic should be handled inside that template.

    Snippet from Twenty Ten comments.php:

    if ( ! comments_open() ) :
?>
    <p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'twentyten' ); ?></p>
<?php endif; // end ! comments_open() ?>
