Replace the text values of the code below (ex. “Comment Form Title”) then add it on your Child Theme’s functions.php
function ra_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
$defaults['title_reply'] = 'Comment Form Title';
$defaults['comment_notes_before'] = 'Comment Form Text';
return $defaults;
}
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'ra_comment_form_defaults' );
To add those asterisks, go to the admin area Settings -> Discussions
then check the Comment author must fill out name and e-mail option.
To change the background color, add this on the theme’s Custom CSS
option. Replace the color white (#FFF) with your chosen color.
#respond.comment-respond {background-color: #FFF;}
