Change Leave a rely text in Twenty Fourteen

  • Hi. I am using a custom Twenty Fourteen theme. At the top of each post, there is text to click which reads, “Leave a reply” I would like to change this text to, “Leave a comment” or “Comment on this post.” This is important to me because, everywhere else in the blogosphere, comments seem to be called “comments” not “replies” and I would like my blog to be consistent.

    Is this possible? Can I make some changes to options or the CSS? I am a beginner but I can cut and paste CSS code.

    Many thanks. Bruno

  • Hi Bruno,

    The text you’re after lives in the content.php file. It’s on line 40 that looks like this:

    <span class="comments-link"><?php comments_popup_link( __( 'Leave a comment', 'twentyfourteen' ), __( '1 Comment', 'twentyfourteen' ), __( '% Comments', 'twentyfourteen' ) ); ?></span>

    Editing that line will change the text that’s included on posts. Do note that wordpress talks about comments elsewhere. If you want to change the word comment to something else throughout the site, that’s a far bigger job.

    Hope this helps,

    Simon
