Still can't change the Leave a reply text

  • I’ve tried making these changes to my comments.php file (my site uses twenty twelve theme) and even after refreshing, I don’t see a change.

    ‘<?php comment_form(array ‘title_reply’ => ‘Your edited text goes here, ‘title_reply_to’ => ‘Change this text for the nested comment reply %s’,));?>’

    Please, I’d really appreciate a hand – perhaps it’s as easy as waiting a few hours for the server to refresh?

    Just to be clear: I’d like to change “Leave a reply” to “Please click here to add a comment” and my website is: https://www.kimshupenia.com/

  • Do not edit the Twenty Twelve theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.

    Thank you for your quick reply. Where would I find the themes directory specified in the link you supplied?

    On the server in your site files – you’ll need to use FTP access to upload the child theme to your site.

    Looks like your site is hosted by GoDaddy, so this should help you:

    Since no one here will answer the question of HOW DO I CHANGE “LEAVE A REPLY” to “WHAT EVER I WANT IT TO SAY”

    here is the answer…. “Leave a reply” is in the content.php file

    to get there APPEARANCE –> EDITOR –> (on the right hand side where each template is) CONTENT.PHP (its above the footer.php template)

    Now as for the sting of <?php comment_form(); ?> (this is in the COMMENTS.PHP file / template) this will ONLY change the text that is right above the comments form… nothing else… to do this… here is my code i used for my site……

    <?php comment_form(array(‘title_reply’ => ‘Leave a Comment’) ); ?>

    there you have it!
    Cheers!
