Hello! I’d like to change the welcome text for leaving comments in the comment form of blog posts.
I see that I can edit this information in the comments.php file, but how do I make this file work in the enfold child theme please?
Thank you!
Hey onegirlrtw!
Thank you for using our theme.
All changes you make to that file will be relevant for the child theme, as this file is loaded by the child theme.
Regards,
GünterHi Gunter,
I moved a copy of the comments.php to my child theme. Then I edited the welcome text in comments.php. But, it didn’t work. The welcome text still reads:
“Want to join the discussion?
Feel free to contribute!”What am I doing wrong please?
Thanks!
Hi,
Can you please create us a WordPress administrator account? post it here as a private reply.

JosueHey!
The problem is that in your version of Enfold, the comments.php is located differently, you’ll need to copy single.php to your child theme and change this line:
comments_template( '/includes/comments.php');To this:
comments_template( 'comments.php');Cheers!
JosueIs there another version of Enfold that I should be using instead?
In any case, it seems that the above recommendation didn’t quite do the trick. Now, I have a completely different form which does not change when I edit the comment.php in the child theme:
When I delete the single.php in the child theme, I can see the original comment form come back (but still not able to edit the text):
