    Is there anyone who can tell me how I can move the comments box on my home page closer to the end of the post? Right now it shows up below the footer space (with the creative commons logo) and there is a lot of white space. I’m worried my readers won’t see the the comments especially since many of them are visually impaired and have to zoom in really close – the comments will be off the screen for them.

    I have created a child theme and the site is https://www.athletesfirst.ca

    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated!

    …I’m afraid pretty much all of the themes have the comments at the end of the page …um. My idea would be (and this is only if you know php because this can and will ruin your WP if done wrong) is to look into the .php template files and see if you can find where the comments are called in. If you can find those lines (or even a line) of code that calls it you can move it to where you want it. And if you can’t do it yourself I would find someone who could for you.

    And mind you, this is only a suggestion, I’m sure a lot of other people can (and will) give you their opinions and ideas. Look through them carefully and decide which is the best solution for you! ??

    Good Luck

    I’m not sure I’d like to have the comment on the index-page.

    As for moving it, it’s true what megan says regarding editing the templates.

    If the site is published, you should make a new “test/dev”-site for changing the templates. There is no way for us to see how your template has it implemented.

    Some templates have the function inside the template, some have it in the functions.php file.

    If you look at the post page:
    https://athletesfirst.ca/2011/11/08/392/#more-392

    There it is at the bottom of your post.
    If you would like to keep it at your index-template, you can either edit the index.php and look for the code, or maybe you have to locate it in the functions.php.. No way for us to tell. Most likely it’s in the index.php template-file.

    You can simply move it to above the social stuff.

    btw. I would refrain from using the admin account for posting stuff.. Maybe you should make a new admin account not named admin and then afterwards delete the admin account and make a new account that is publisher, not admin.
