perch_blog_post_comments() won't paginate comments

I'm modifying a Bootstrap template to be managed by the Perch Blog app and I can't get blog post comments to paginate.

I'm displaying them like this:

<?php 
  perch_blog_post_comments(perch_get('s'), array(
    'paginate' => true,
    'count' => 4,
  )); 
?>

This will display the comments and limit them to 4 but it won't display the pagination.

I'm also using my own comment.html template in perch/templates/blog/comment.html. Not sure if that's causing the problem.

Diagnostics:

Perch is up to date
PHP 7.0.10 is up to date

I don't see any pagination markup in there. You need to add that in the perch:after tags if you want pagination.

Thanks Rachel! The pagination tags weren't in the default comment.html template so I didn't know I had to add them manually.
