Using Google Recaptcha with Genesis, positioning of Recaptcha

[David Borrink]

I've installed Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) by BestWebSoft into a Genesis site using a theme based off Genesis Sample. The Recaptcha is showing up above the field for comments and I'd like it just above the submit button.

The FAQs for the plugin says,

How can I change the location of Google Captcha (reCAPTCHA) in the comments form?

It depends on the comments form. If the hook call by means of which captcha works (‘after_comment_field’ or something like this) is present in the file comments.php, you can change captcha positioning by moving this hook call. Please find the file ‘comments.php’ in the theme and change position of the line

do_action( 'comment_form_after_fields' );
or any similar line – place it under the Submit button.
In case there is no such hook in the comments file of your theme, then, unfortunately, this option is not available.

Okay, so the comments.php file in the top level of Genesis has this at the end:

do_action( 'genesis_before_comments' );
do_action( 'genesis_comments' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_comments' );

do_action( 'genesis_before_pings' );
do_action( 'genesis_pings' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_pings' );

do_action( 'genesis_before_comment_form' );
do_action( 'genesis_comment_form' );
do_action( 'genesis_after_comment_form' );

... with no submit button. I dug up the comments.php in the lib > structure folder and it has no submit button in it.

Am I missing something in where this would be located in Genesis?

Unless your child theme has overridden the function, the genesis_comment_form action is a wrapper that calls the native WordPress comment_form function. This is a generic HTML5 comment form. https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/functions/comment_form/

What you really need to do is hook into the genesis_after_comment_form action. You may have to create your own function to do this.

Hi Victor, thanks for replying. My theme is basically Genesis Sample so there's no override on the comments.

Where is the genesis_after_comment_form action?

I did a search in my genesis theme for genesis_after_comment_form and the two files it came up in are comments.php (which is listed in my previous post) and deprecated.php. In the deprecated file it says,

/**
 * Deprecated. Wrapper for <code>genesis_after_comment_form</code> action hook.
 *
 * @since 0.2.0
 * @deprecated 1.7.0
 */
function genesis_after_comment_form() {

	_deprecated_function( __FUNCTION__, '1.7.0', "do_action( 'genesis_after_comment_form' )" );

	do_action( 'genesis_after_comment_form' );

}

So I don't see where the actual working code is for genesis_after_comment_form. It says do_action, but where is the description of the action to take place?
