I just downloaded a blogger template from a blogger template directory site. Template was simple and good looking that was designed and published on 2008. So thus, there was some bugs and an embedded comments form was missing. And here is the tutorial that will explain how i fixed it. Mostly now, it won't be required as now you can find a lot of templates without a single error or bug. but when you go through older
custom blogger template you might face some issues with it but you no need to worry for that as i am here to solve your all problem with blogger. :) follow the steps given below to know how to
add missing embedded comments form to
blogger / blogspot.
The inline (embedded) comments form is provided by blogger officially. so there is option in settings to set up an embedded comments form in blogger. Go to
blogger dashboard > Settings > Posts and Comments > Comments. Then click the dropdown menu and choose "Embedded" .
Now, check your blog once, Still if embedded comment form is not displaying, follow the next steps.

Well, in this step you will need to edit your blogger template code, but you don't need to worry as it's a very simple customization to make!
From your blogger dashboard navigate to
Template > Edit HTML. search for the following code in your blog's HTML :
<p class='comment-footer'><b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'><a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a></b:if> </p>
Now, simply replace above code with below code :
<p class='comment-footer'><b:if cond='data:post.embedCommentForm'><b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/><b:else/><b:if cond='data:post.allowComments'><a expr:href='data:post.addCommentUrl' expr:onclick='data:post.addCommentOnclick'><data:postCommentMsg/></a></b:if></b:if></p>
Finally, Save your template and you're done. Check your blog's post page there you should have a comment form right after / below the post.
If you can't find the code I've described above, then search for the code below :
<b:include data='post' name='comments' />
Immediately after this line, add the following line of code:
<b:include data='post' name='comment-form'/>
Then, save your template.
