By default WordPress blocks comments on Custom Post Types. To enable comments on a custom post type, add comments under supports where you register it (line 32):
function snippet_custom_init() {
$labels = array(
'name' => 'Snippet',
'singular_name' => 'Snippet',
'add_new' => 'Add New Snippet',
'add_new_item' => 'Add New Snippet',
'edit_item' => 'Edit Snippet',
'new_item' => 'New Snippet',
'all_items' => 'All Snippets',
'view_item' => 'View Snippet',
'search_items' => 'Search Snippets',
'not_found' => 'No snippets found',
'not_found_in_trash' => 'No snippets found in trash',
'parent_item_colon' => '',
'menu_name' => 'Snippets',
);
$args = array(
'labels' => $labels,
'exclude_from_search' => false,
'public' => true,
'publicly_queryable' => true,
'show_ui' => true,
'show_in_menu' => true,
'query_var' => true,
'rewrite' => array( 'slug' => 'snippet' ),
'capability_type' => 'post',
'has_archive' => true,
'hierarchical' => false,
'taxonomies' => array('category'),
'menu_position' => null,
'supports' => array( 'title', 'author', 'thumbnail', 'excerpt', 'comments', 'editor' )
);
register_post_type( 'snippet', $args );
}
add_action( 'init', 'snippet_custom_init', 0);
