• Can I modify the wording on the -comments form- using CSS? Right now it says “Reply.” I’d like it to read differently. Thanks!

    Hi there – I looked at your other threads and found your URL here: https://sparkleball.com/

    The comment-form wording can’t be changed with CSS alone; it would require some code changes in a child theme. If you’re interested in going that route, let me know and I can provide further guidance.

    Here are some guides in case you haven’t made one before:

    Thank you, Kathryn. Sorry I forgot the link. I’ve watched your video about the child theme and feel almost ready to tackle it. Thanks for the answer. Alex

    Great! Once your child theme folder is set up:

    1. Make a copy of the file comments.php and place it in the child theme folder.
    2. Change line 68 from this:

    <?php //comment_form(); ?>

    to this:

    <?php comment_form(array('title_reply'=>'Your New Wording')); ?>

    3. Replace the words Your New Wording with whatever you like.

    Let me know how it goes!
