Change the location of the smileys

Did you try https://www.tuxlog.de/wordpress/2009/wp-monalisa-manual/#sechs ?
In most cases this depends on your theme too, so it would be good to have an idea what you are using.

Hi Tuxlog,
Thanks for replying !

Actually I do not know where to put the custom code you sent me to…
Where should I post it regarding this line : <?php comment_form(); ?> ?

I am using the theme Visual and here is a link to my blog if this can help you : https://www.maelshanti.com/
Thanks again !

Normally it is placed in comments.php but depends on your theme

Yup, I understood that, but I mean… Where should I insert the code in the the comment.php file ? At what location in the file itself ? Because I do not find where to paste it…

Look for comment_form and replace it with the code from the manual:

$args = array(
‘comment_notes_after’ = get_wpml_comment(),
‘comment_notes_before’ = ‘The Smilies are below.’,
);
comment_form($args);

Looks like it creates a bug, unless I made a mistake…

By replacing comment_form by your code, here’s the result :

<?php $args = array(
             'comment_notes_after' = get_wpml_comment(),
             'comment_notes_before' = 'The Smilies are below.',
             );
        comment_form($args); ?>

And see what it does…

After changing code : https://nsa34.casimages.com/img/2014/08/17/140817020645780635.jpg

So it makes the sidebar and the comment form totally disappear… Any idea of what the problem is ?
Thanks for helping, that’s great ! ??

Can you paste the whole file comments.php where you changed it please.

(So I made the changes at the end of the file)

Your changes look good but I think I missed the =>

Sorry, please try

$args = array(
‘comment_notes_after’ => get_wpml_comment(),
‘comment_notes_before’ => ‘The Smilies are below.’,
);
comment_form($args);

This works perfectly, indeed !
Thank you very much for your help ! That’s great ! And no problem, we all make little mistakes ??

My issue is finally resolved then ??
Thanks again !
