Hello @Kayla. Is your Wordpress theme a block theme or a “classic” theme?

The recommended way of doing this is using a block theme. That way you have complete control over which comment blocks you put where and don’t have to worry about which template is overriding which. For example this comment block configuration (Wordpress comments followed by Discourse comments) on Wordpress’ current default theme (Twenty Twenty Four)
