…I feel stupid,
Thanks soooooo much.
solved problem.

that’s the site alright. I don’t want ‘your thought on this’ above the comment input. I want to change it.

i thought i had posted in the priimo theme site.
sorry

Never heard of child-themes, but can’t wait to start using them. Such an excellent piece of advice. Thanks so much Krishna.

The function is in the comments.php priimo style sheet, but wordpress seems to be using a different file. I looked in the prior theme’s (atahualpa332) comments.php file and it is the same. Can’t find the text that the site is currently using (did a search in text editor). Apparently, atahualpa332 has it tucked in somewhere else!

Anyway, Instead of showing ‘Leave a comment’ as the code indicates, (in priimo’s comments.php file) my site shows ‘Enter your comment here…’

Just in case, I tried changing the line ‘Leave a comment’ in the priimo comments.php file and the change was not reflected in my site after applying the change…

This is helpful, however, what I wanted to change was the text above the actual comments entry box. I think the answer will be similar though.

tks for your help.

start mamp app
set ‘preferences’:
preferences – apache (document root) to /Applications/MAMP/htdocs/wordpress
preferences – ports to 8888 (apache); 8889 (sql)
save ‘preferences’
make sure both apache and sql are running

download and install wordpress
create new folder named wordpress off application/mamp/htdocs
copy wordpress files to htdocs/wordpress

open ‘start page’ in mamp
click phyMyAdmin
create new database

i didn’t see anything until i typed https://localhost:8888 in my browser.
next – says ‘need wp-config.php file – follow the steps.

i used the tutor in prior post—this last step in bold is what made it work for me.
hope it helps.
