Support » Themes and Templates » Position comment form above comments ?

  • I’m creating my first theme.

    With comments enabled on posts, the comment form appears below the comments. I’d like to position it above the comment thread.

    How do I do this?

    So far, I’ve figured out (I could be wrong) that the a comment template is being called by ‘comments_template()’. This pulls the file ‘wp-includes/comment-template.php’.

    I’ve made a copy of this in my theme directory, calling it ‘mytheme-comments-template.php. I’m now using the call:
    <?php comments_template('mytheme-comments-template.php'); ?>

    However, looking at that file, I’m bumping up against my ability to read php. I can see function definitions, but I can’t see where the functions are being called from. I can see the function “comment_form” being defined, but I can’t see it being called.

    So how do I modify my template to make the form appear before the comment thread?
