If you have enabled HTML5 in Genesis Framework 2.0 then it uses default WordPress Comment form.

The comment_form
function takes in two parameters by default.
comment_form( $args, $post_id );
$args
: An array of arguments for controlling the output of the comment form.$post_id
: The ID of the post for which to show a comment form. This defaults to the current post, so you don’t need it in most scenarios.
The $args
variable is what we want to focus on. There are two ways to change this. The first is to manually input the arguments into the comment_form()
function. The second is to filter the output (see “Filtering the comment form defaults” below).

Input of these arguments would look something like this:
<?php comment_form( array( 'cancel_reply_link' => __( 'Cancel reply' ), 'label_submit' => __( 'Post Comment' ), ) ); ?>

Sometimes you would like to drastically change parts of the comment form. How might you go about changing parts of the comment form while still using best practice with the comment_form();
method?
You might want to change all below values:
- Tweak the
<h3>
header to<h2>Tell us about you!</h2>
- Wrap form fields in
<fieldset></fieldset>
- Wrap
<label>
in<div></div>
- Wrap
<input>
in<div></div>
- Make
<p></p>
display before the comment<textarea>
rather than after - etc…
Well. Below simple trick will help you change your comment_form()
completely. Just put below into your child theme’s functions.php
file and you should be all set.
//***Customize The Comment Form**/ add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'crunchify_custom_comment_form' ); function crunchify_custom_comment_form($defaults) { $defaults['comment_notes_before'] = ''; //Removes Email Privacy Notice $defaults['title_reply'] = __( 'Share Your Comments & Feedback', 'customtheme' ); //Changes The Form Headline $defaults['label_submit'] = __( 'Share My Comment', 'customtheme' ); //Changes The Submit Button Text $defaults['comment_notes_after'] = '<code>To post `any code` in comment, uses < pre> source code < /pre></code>'; return $defaults; }
