[Resolved] Move comment entry form above comments

[Sebastian]

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? 😀
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.
