Move comment entry form above comments
3 replies · Started by Sebastian on October 22, 2018
Hi Tom & Team,
I think this one should be easy:
I want the comment entry form above the comment entries that are being displayed. We have posts with literally hundreds of comments and we break them apart every ~20 comments (e.g. paginate). But the comments tend to be very long so a user would have to scroll to the end of a long comment section to enter his comment.
It would be beneficial if we could unhook the comment entry form from its current position and hook it above the comments.
Unfortunatly I don't know how to do so.
So: how to do so? :D
Would you please advise?
Thank you for your help.
Hi there,
See #2 in Tom's reply here:

Let me know :)
Hi Leo,
that worked.
To save others from having to look through the other thread here is the solution again:
Just download the comments.php file from GitHub and replace your original comments.php file in /wp-content/themes/generatepress/ with this file and voilà.
No you don't want to replace the core file as it will be erased during updates.
Make sure you are using a child theme as Tom mentioned.
