I’d like to simplify the Comment Form Title as follows…

 

From the default ‘One Response to Post Name’ or ‘3 Responses to Post Name’

 

To ‘1 Comment’ or ‘3 Comments’

 

I’d also like to add a line of text underneath where it says ‘Leave a Reply’ but before the comment fields.

 

 

Can this be done so that it is not overwritten when I update WordPress or Paglines?

Many thanks in advance!

Hi,

 

Renaming the ‘One Response to Post Name’ or ‘3 Responses to Post Name’ may be possible and will require a filter.

 

If you wish to insert content below the leave reply, I recommend you install the ActionMap plugin from the PageLines store and then follow the instructions here.

Once you have the correct hook location, you will need to create a hook to insert your content.

Thanks, I've used hooks before - not used the ActionMap plugin before though so thanks for that.

 

It's shown up pagelines_before_comments, pagelines_inside_bottom_comments and pagelines_after_comments.

 

I found the link below and have successfully changed the 'Leave a reply' text using the code from the link below by adding it to the pagelines-customize/functions.php

 

But I'm struggling with how to change the Comment Form Title - as described previously - any help much appreciated!

The following code should do the job, simply add it to your child themes/customisation plugins functions.php file:

Replace the "Add Your Change Here" to what you want to change it to.

Thanks but that looks like the code I've already added to change the reply title - its the Comment title above that I don't know how to change...

 

The bit where it says...

 

‘One Response to Post Name’

 For that you need to actually edit a file im afraid. To do that safely you need a child theme like the free 'base theme' in the store. Then copy the comments.php from the main framework folder and edit it to your taste. Wordpress will load your child one instead of the parent one automagically.

ok, many thanks I'll have look at that.

 

I also now want to add a list of the categories and / or tags assigned to a post at the bottom of the post (before the Comment bit) - should I also do that in the child theme do you think?

 

Cheers!

Just one more quick question I'm afraid - can you clarify ' Then copy the comments.php from the main framework folder and edit it to your taste.' please??

 

Where within the base theme do I copy the comments.php code to exactly?

[Simon_P]

Into its folder...

 

wp-content/themes/pagelines/comments.php

 

copy to...

 

wp-content/themes/base-child-theme/comments.php

 

edit away...

[MissT]

Thanks v much that's sorted the Comments title

[Rob]

Yes.

 

Another hook would yield that result, I believe.

[MissT]

Thank you I'll have look at another hook for that then.

 

Cheers
