Google+ comment box does not appear on Custom Templates?

Have you enabled Google+ comment box for blogger? It is really very simple and look wise too dynamic, far better than existing blogger comment box. But few of our blogger are worried because they are not able to implement the Google+ comment box exactly in their blog. If you are using blogger enabled template then blogger comment box is automatically replaced Google+ comment box, but if you are using a third party blogger template then Google+ comment box does not appear on the post and blogger comment box is still present as before.

Here you go to enable Google+ comment box in blogger.

Step 1:
As usual you should take a backup of exiting template from Template > Backup/Restore popup.

Step 2:
Now make a copy of downloaded template and open xml file in a text editor (I will recommend a text editor supported to XML, so i used Dreamweaver).

Step 3:
Now search for this line:
<b:if cond="data:post.showThreadedComments"></b:if>

You will get above code line 4 to 5 times in the whole template but you have to replace starting 2 of them with this code:
<!--comment box changes--><div class='cmt_iframe_holder' expr:data-href='data:post.canonicalUrl' expr:data-viewtype='data:post.viewType'/> <b:if cond='data:post.showThreadedComments'><!--comment box changes-->

Step 4:
Save your template and check if the Google+ comment box appears at its place. If blogger comment box is also appearing with Google+ comment box then you need to do one thing. Restore 1st replacement that you just did also comment this line after 2nd replacement,
<b:include data="post" name="comments">
See the image below:

And you are done. Now, only Google+ comment box will appear.
