Hi Ron! I created a comments.php file in my child theme folder and it worked beautifully for several different things I was working on. However, I figured out how to both create my own plugin for one thing, and move some others to functions.php in the child theme folder.
Now, the modification I have that only currently seems to work in the comments.php of the primary Frontier Theme and not in the child folder is:
<?php comment_form(array( 'comment_notes_before' => '<p class="comment-notes">' . __( 'NOTE: I manually approve all comments. As long as you’re not being rude, obscene, advertise, or other nonsense, your comment/question and my response will appear on this page within a day or so. Please be patient!' ) . ( $req ? $required_text : '' ) . '</p>' )); ?>How, may I ask, can I get this out of the main comments.php and into the child theme to preserve it when I next update your theme? Do I need to essentially replicate the entire comments.php from the main theme to the child, with this modification shown then? I seem to have been having issues where the comments portion of my pages all seem to simply vanish altogether when I’ve tried, while leaving everything else intact.
Thanks much!
A perfect example of it working on my site ATM, is a tutorial I just posted yesterday and already manually accepted several comments. This is working using the modification on the main Frontier Theme without a current comments.php in the child-theme:
This would be placed on the child-theme’s functions.php
Example:function ra_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) { $defaults['comment_notes_before'] = 'Warning! Spamming is against the law.'; return $defaults; } add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'ra_comment_form_defaults' );For the code above to work, you have to remove any modifications to the original comments.php if there are any. The function that calls the comment form must simply be
<?php comment_form(); ?>
