Change "leave a comment" wording

[mearl2005]

I have searched and searched and tried every suggestion on changing the wording on my home page for my links to leave comments on my posts. I have not found any coding that works.

I have a custom theme and I am not finding the coding anywhere in my php files where it is coded to say "leave a comment" when there are no comments made yet. can anyone help? I have used the inspect element feature and have sourced the code to here. Can anyone help me to find where this info is so I can edit it?

<span class="post-comments">Leave a Comment

Thanks in advance!
Melissa

<?php
//* Do NOT include the opening php tag shown above. Copy the code shown below.

//* Modify the speak your mind title in comments
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'sp_comment_form_defaults' );
function sp_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
 
	$defaults['title_reply'] = __( 'Leave a Comment' );
	return $defaults;
 
}

I tried every suggestion in that link and it didn't work.

Is that code for the link on the home page or the wording above the comments box.? if it is for the link, do I just copy and paste that code you included into the functions.php folder?

add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'child_comment_form_defaults' );
function child_comment_form_defaults( $defaults ) {
 
	$defaults['title_reply'] = 'Have your say';
	return $defaults;
 
}

Placed at the bottom of your functions.php file should change the wording to "Have your say"

Have you tried it?

A thought...

You do have W3 Total Cache enabled .. maybe you need to clear the cache manually before you see any changes?

It is still showing up as leave a comment. That changed the wording at the top of the comment box on an individual post. I tried clearing cache and still no change.

Thanks for the suggestion though. Any other ideas?

You are using this shortcode [post_comments]. If you replace that shortcode by this one [post_comments zero="ENTER YOUR TEXT"] then it will change the text.
