Leave a Comment Text Won't Change

[Tony]

I'm trying to change the "leave a comment" text site wide, but the code on the Studiopress website doesn't do anything. Here's what I'm using:

//* Modify the comment link text in comments
add_filter( 'genesis_post_info', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter( $post_info ) {
return '[post_comments zero="0" one="1" more="%"]';
}

Basically, I want the output to show the numbers only.

Any ideas? This is on the Beautiful Pro theme.

This tutorial walks you through several customizations for comments, including changing the "leave a comment" text: http://www.bourncreative.com/customizing-genesis-2-0-html5-comment-form/

Hi Andrea,

Thank you for the resource, but unless I didn't see it, it's not quite what I'm looking for.

I'm referring to the "leave a comment" link that appears in the post info section, specifically the .entry-comments-link span class.

This is where it shows how many comments the article has. I want to change it from the default "leave a comment" when there's zero comments to just display "0".

The code I posted in the original post doesn't work, and I'm not sure why.

I was able to get the result I want by placing:

[post_comments zero="0" one="1" more="%"]

in the genesis_entry_header hook using the simple hooks plugin.

It still would be nice to know how to accomplish this the right way in the functions.php file.

Sorry, I just realized the tutorial I linked to wasn't even applicable to what you asked! I think I'm losing it. o_O

Here's how you would do the same thing with a function - try this one and see if it works:

//* Customize the post info function
add_filter( 'genesis_entry_header', 'sp_post_info_filter' );
function sp_post_info_filter($post_info) {
if ( !is_page() ) {
	$post_info = '[post_date] by [post_author_posts_link] [post_comments zero="0" one="1" more="%"] [post_edit]';
	return $post_info;
}}

Now, that long line may need to be changed depending on whether you want the date, post author, etc. to be included. Let me know how it works out and whther it needs to be modified.

I am not finding that spot in the theme or my simple hooks. is there a new name for the genesis_entry_header?
