Comment Box is Gone

Hello there,

When I tried to manually add facebook comments to the site by editing the theme, something went wrong in my comments.php.

I then put back the original code but the comment box still doesn’t show back up (see for example http://www.thetika.com/prominence-to-producers-evil-dee-beatminerz/)

What can I do?

And what would be the best way to integrate facebook comments?
I tried some plugins but they all conflicted with the theme or other plugins.

Okay I should’ve known not to include 2 questions.
My question is; why won’t my comment box show back up?

This is my comments.php

<?php
//removing the comments sidewide
if(td_util::get_option(‘tds_disable_comments_sidewide’) == ”) {?>
<div class=”comments” id=”comments”>
<?php if (post_password_required()) { ?>

<?php } else { ?>
<?php if (comments_open() ) { ?>
<div class=”comments-title-wrap”>
<?php
$num_comments = get_comments_number(); // get_comments_number returns only a numeric value
if ( $num_comments == 0 ) {
$td_comments_no_text = __td(‘NO COMMENTS’);
} elseif ( $num_comments > 1 ) {
$td_comments_no_text = $num_comments . ‘ ‘ . __td(‘COMMENTS’);
} else {
$td_comments_no_text = __td(‘1 COMMENT’);
}
?>
<h4 class=”block-title”><span><?php echo $td_comments_no_text?></span></h4>
</div>

<?php if (have_comments()) { ?>

<?php wp_list_comments( array( ‘callback’ => ‘td_comment’ ) ); ?>

<div class=”comment-pagination”>
<?php paginate_comments_links(); ?>
</div>
<?php } ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php

$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();

</article>

<?php

}

I restored it.

What facebook comment plugin or approach would you recommend ?
