• Hey All,

    I have been able to do pretty much everything I have wanted with my custom install of wordpress thus far, but I would really like to edit my comments section beyond what CSS can do…such as adding autofill text into the comment boxes using js, and the like.

    Is the only way to do this to create a custom plugin that will filter the comments functions, or is there a simple way I am not seeing?

    Thanks,

  • Don’t edit the Twenty Ten theme. First create a child theme for your changes.

    I have already made my child theme, I think.

    Here is my site, I have completely customized everything based off of the twentyten theme. I guess I am just asking how to go about editing the comments section.

    Nice site. ??

    Twenty Ten uses wp_list_comments to create the comment list and comment_form to generate the comment form. Both are in comments.php. You can use a custom callback in each case to modify the output. If you want to add jQuery, I’d suggest enqueuing your script(s) using the is_singular() conditional in functions.php.

    Thanks for all of the tips. I ended up going with livefyre just because it is loaded with features, and great for people who want to connect with facebook. For the most part I was able to make it look the way I wanted with CSS.

    Does anyone know of any good tricks for manipulating it further?
