Hooking 3.x Output

    With a fresh install of WP 3.0.3, a plugin I’ve installed is able to add visible page content just below the id=”respond” div, which is what I want. When I change to a custom theme (which the author did not claim was designed for 3.x WP), that visible content is no longer there.

    What do I need to adjust in the theme, to again enable the plugin’s generated output?

    To be specific, I’m using the Eximius theme together with Janrain Engage 1.0.0. The Janrain plugin gives options of where its output will appear. Those options are:

    • comment_form_before *
    • comment_form_top *
    • comment_form
    • comment_form_before_fields *
    • comment_form_after *
    • comment_form_must_log_in_after

    I’ve found that only the “comment_form_before” and “comment_form_after” work at all. I’m using “comment_form_after.” The Janrain plugin says the options with an asterisk are only available with WP 3.x.

    When the Janrain plugin is executed with that Eximius theme, the markup/content is entirely missing (when I ‘view page source’).

    So where do I start?

    I think I found most of my answer. Evidentally, at least by WP 3.x versions, there is a <?php comment_form(); ?> that appears at the bottom of the comments.php file. That is the “hook” point the Janrain plugin is using.

    I had to replace almost exactly half of the comments.php file, in the theme I’m using, with the <?php comment_form(); ?> one-liner…and then it worked just fine. 🙂

    However, I’m still curious about the other hook points implied by the other Janrain plugin options I listed in my earlier post.
