Is there a way I can edit / change the layout of the comments form (leave a reply form) in the TwentyEleven theme? I want to put the textarea on top and I can change the styles via css but physically moving the forms is where I'm having trouble. I'm not sure where to find the code for it.

tl;dr Where's the comments form code?

The comments template is added to template files via the comments_template() template tag.

The comments_template() template tag includes the comments.php template-part file.

The comments.php template-part file includes the comment-reply form via the comment_form() template tag. Refer to the Codex (linked) for detailed instructions for modifying the content and output of comment_form().

  • I looked at that and it doesn't seem to give me access to just move around the inputs. From the looks of it I would have to create the form from scratch :/

    You have complete control over the form fields, so you can simply re-order them in the fields array. Jan 18, 2012 at 18:04
