Hi alistairwilson,

I’ve adjuted the code above (which changes the title label, field labels, and website field) to include your changes. I’ve added the ‘comment_notes_before’ argument to include the email address and required fields info, and the ‘label_submit’ arg for changing the text of the submit button. I haven’t tested the code, but it should work fine.

<?php
$commenter = wp_get_current_commenter();
$req = get_option( 'require_name_email' );
$aria_req = ( $req ? " aria-required='true'" : '' );

$required_text = sprintf( ' ' . __('Required fields are marked %s'), '<span class="required">*</span>' );
$comment_form_fields = apply_filters(
	'comment_form_default_fields',
	array(
		'author' => '<p class="comment-form-author">' .
                    '<label for="author">' . __( 'Your Name' ) . '</label> ' .
                    ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) .
                    '<input id="author" name="author" type="text" value="' .
                    esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' />' .
                    '</p><!-- #form-section-author .form-section -->',
		'email'  => '<p class="comment-form-email">' .
                    '<label for="email">' . __( 'Your Email' ) . '</label> ' .
                    ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) .
                    '<input id="email" name="email" type="text" value="' .
                    esc_attr(  $commenter['comment_author_email'] ) .
                    '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' />' .
                    '</p><!-- #form-section-email .form-section -->',
		'url'    => ''
	)
);

$comment_args = array(
	'fields'               => $comment_form_fields,
	'comment_field'        => '<p class="comment-form-comment">' .
                              '<label for="comment">' . __( 'Let us know what you have to say:' ) . '</label>' .
                              '<textarea id="comment" name="comment" cols="45" rows="8" aria-required="true"></textarea>' .
                              '</p><!-- #form-section-comment .form-section -->',
	'comment_notes_before' => '<p class="comment-notes">' .
                              __( 'Your email address will not be published or shared.' ) .
                              ( $req ? $required_text : '' ) .
                              '</p>',
	'comment_notes_after'  => '',
	'label_submit'         => 'Submit your comment',
	'title_reply'          => 'Please Post Your Comments & Reviews'
);

comment_form( $comment_args );
?>

Hi Fadhill,

Sorry I’m not 100% sure what you mean. Is your WordPress theme a custom built theme, or a theme that someone else made that you’re using. If it’s not custom, what is the name of the theme?

If it is custom, you may have a problem with the files in your theme. You will need to make sure you have a template file to handle the news page. See this chart for reference:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy

If you’re still stuck, you may need to get someone to look at your theme files to help you out. This forum isn’t used for paid help – but I’m happy to point you in the right direction if you contact me directly.[email address removed]

Can you provide a link to your website?

Hey amatok,

Have you tried downloading the Flexx Bold theme again and replacing your current version with a fresh version?

The default post formatting from the post.php template file will be used.

If you want to customize the post formatting for your category pages:
– Create a new file: post-category.php
– Copy/Paste the content of post.php to post-category.php
– Edit and customize the post-category.php file for your needs.

Learn more about the get_template_part() function:

Hey Fadhill.

Assuming you’re using an existing theme, it’s pretty simple. Just go to Settings > Reading. Then change “Front page displays” to a static page. Choose your home page for the front page, and choose your news page for the posts page.

Hope that helps. 🙂

You probably want to create a child theme to do this (pretty simple – check this out: http://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes )

In your child theme copy over the content.php file from twenty eleven and you can edit lines 28 – 32 to adjust what is displayed in this section. You will probably want to use the comments_popup_link function, you can read about it here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comments_popup_link

You would need to do this for all the content-*.php pages.

Then you just need to edit the styles for the comments link. Apply your styles in style.css to .entry-header .comments-link a. The base styles for this are found from line 1024 in the twentyeleven style.css file.

If you just wanted to edit the picture:
1. In your child theme create a new folder called images
2. Put your edited background image in the images folder you just made
3. Add this line to your child theme style.css:
.entry-header .comments-link a {
background: #eee url(images/NEW-BACKGROUND-IMAGE.PNG) no-repeat;
}
(you could change the #eee to the same colour as your background, too)
