# 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 ](http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/eximius)
   together with [Janrain Engage 1.0.0](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/rpx/).
   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.
