Simple Comments working after 2.0 and HTML5 ?

[RobCubbon]

Hi, I've just realised that my Simple Comments plugin doesn't seem to be working after Genesis 2.0 and HTML5 updates.

Has anyone else seen this?

I've got the "You may use these HTML tags and attributes:" bit show up which I never used to have plus the edits don't seem to work.

If it hasn't been updated can anyone point me to a tutorial to make changes to the comment area by adding code to the functions.php ?

You can use this code or a plugin to remove comment form allowed tags.

The problem may have something to do with the genesis filters for comments which are no longer needed for WordPress 3.6

Thank you, Brad. I have "liked" WP Sites on FB!

You've got an amazing code resource over at GitHub!

Could you point me towards something that could help me change the "Name" field in the comments form to something else, like "Real name, please, not keywords you dirty spammer!"

Then I could be shot of that plugin.

Thanks again.

Here' some CSS you might like to play around with:

.comment-form-author input, select, textarea {
    color: red;
    font-size: 1.2rem;
}

Brad, big thanks for the comment form altering filter for functions.php (the GitHub snippet seems to have disappeared momentarily).

Thanks for the CSS as well – makes it stand out a touch!

Here's some I've used to make sure those pesky comment form inputs line up.

.comment-form-author label, .comment-form-email label, .comment-form-url label {width : 90px ; float : left ;  }
.comment-form-author input, .comment-form-email input, .comment-form-url input { display : block ;  } 

(There may well be a better way of doing that!)

Github snippets are back now, ignore my earlier comment 🙂

No worries Rob.

Thanks for posting the CSS.

I tested on the Sample theme and didn't need to add any but it looks like some themes may need it.

Also wrote 2 posts about this yesterday which may help.

Yeah, I should have said this is on my Streamline theme where the comment form labels and inputs are on the same horizontal line. A lot of Genesis child themes have the labels above the inputs so it's not an issue.
