   I designed a theme on the background of the default theme
   the problem is the comments
   I wanna move the comment author name, date and time at the end of the comment as they are at the beginning ..
   I tried to do it from comments.php but I failed
   I wanna know how to modify the comments as I want .
   what codes in what files need to be changed to be done.
   Also I use a translated wordpress version
   and some words I dont like in the comments and as I explained above I cant find the files which have to be modified to change the comments author name and the comments metatags (as words and as place @ design)
   Best Regards

   woow Thanks I didnt think that someone would reply (AS USUAL)
   @esmi
   I read this article carefully, It helped me to do some changes
   even I thought that the change isnt needed to be done every upgrade cos I thought it will be from the theme files like all the themes which contain different style of the comments which dont change every upgrade ..
   but I still cant move the comment author name, date, time ... etc to the end of the comment not in the beginning ..

   @figaro
   Thanks for your reply but this post about changing the index not the comments ..

   I hope I find any help soon :(

   Actually it was about teaching you some basics of editing a WP file so hopefully you would be able to explore and figure out how to do what you want....teaching to fish rather than giving fish, kind of thing ;-)

   Unless you're are really, really, good with PHP, XHTML and WP and can create your own custom callback comment function, the short answer is - you can't change the positioning of the comment meta details.

   I don't think that kind of major re-positioning is even possible using pure CSS... well not in a stable, cross-browser kind of way.

   I posted the link to wp_list_comments so that you could get an idea of what is possible within the confines of that tag. On the plus side, as it's a relatively new tag/function, it may well become more configurable with future versions.

   Sorry.
