Hey Zimbrul,
One of two things is happening:
1) The theme has replaced the comment_form_defaults function with a new one.
2) The theme is not using the comment_form function and is still using a comments.php file with the old comments code (see the FAQ page for what code to search for and replace in that case).
If the theme author has replaced variables in the comment_form function with new one’s, I’ll need your help to track down what it could be since the theme isn’t free and I don’t have access to the theme files.
Look through (or better yet, do a search in) the theme files for something that looks like this:
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'CUSTOM_FUNCTION_HERE' );
The first part of that is what you’ll be looking for, and then I’ll need to know what is in the place of CUSTOM_FUNCTION_HERE.
Let me know if you can find that. It might be in a comments.php file in the theme folder.
Zimbrul, did you get it working or give it up?
I didn’t see this comment. I will try now and let you know :-).
Usually I use Genesis and the plugin works great with that framework.
