Wordpress Comments - comment count is incorrect - PHP Server Side Scripting forum at WebmasterWorld

I am using Wordpress and have just built my own theme.

In my comments at the top of it it displays the total number of comments, if 5 people have commented it would display the string '5 comments', however I have already had 4 comments and it displays 'No Comments', which is really strange it doesnt seem to match the total number of comments left by users.

This is my comments.php:

<?php
if ('comments.php' == basename($_SERVER['SCRIPT_FILENAME'])) die ('Please do not load this page directly. Thanks!');
if (!empty($post->post_password)) { 
if ($_COOKIE['wp-postpass_' . COOKIEHASH] != $post->post_password) {
?>
<h2>This Post is Password Protected!</h2>
<p>Please enter the password to view Comments.</p>
<?php return;
}
}
?>
<?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php if ($comments) : ?>
<div class="comment_top">
<h2 id="num_comments" class="floatleft"><?php comments_number('No Comments', 'One Comment', '% Comments' );?></h2>
<span><a href="#respond" class="leave_comment floatright">Leave a Comment</a></span>
</div>
<ul class="commentlist">
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<?php $i++; ?>
<?php if(get_comment_type() == 'comment'): ?>
 
  <li id="comment-<?php comment_ID(); ?>" <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/includes/comments-author-class.php'); ?>>
<div class="comment_wrap">
<div class="comment_author">
<!-- Link to default avater! -->
<?php if (function_exists('get_avatar')) { echo get_avatar(get_comment_author_email(),'82', $default='http://www.example.com/wp-content/themes/example/images/default-avatar.jpg'); } ?> 
<p>
<?php echo $i; ?>. 
<?php comment_author_link(); ?>
<small><?php comment_date('M jS, Y'); ?></small>
</p>
</div>
   <div class="comment_text">
<div class="comment_tail"></div>
   <?php comment_text(); ?>
<?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?> 
<em class="comment_moderation"><?php _e('Your comment is awaiting moderation.<br /> You do not need to resubmit') ?></em>
 <?php endif; ?> 
   </div>
</div>
  </li>
  <?php endif; ?>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>
 
<ol>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) :
$comment_type = get_comment_type();
if($comment_type != 'comment') { ?>
<li><?php comment_author_link() ?></li>
<?php } endforeach; ?>
</ol>
 
 
 
<?php else : ?>
<?php if ($post->comment_status == 'open') : ?>
<p>There are no comments yet, add one below.</p>
<? else : ?>
<p>Comments are closed.</p>

 <?php else : ?>

<?php endif; ?>

I followed this tutorial on how to create this comments section and I tried using theirs it worked perfectly, but I dont understand why my one keeps displaying the wrong total amount of comments.

I have cleared my database and reinstalled wordpress but i still have this problem I think it maybe my script. It may not be the comments.php page but could possibly be some other script that is affecting it, I'm not sure, does any one have any ideas? Or any way to fix this?

Hope you can help.

Thank you
