Vantage Comments rendering/customizations

Hi MooMoo Forex

Thanks for running Vantage.

We don’t offer customisation services as part of normal support. We do however try help out where possible.

1. Unfortunately not an easy change. You’d need to use a child theme: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes. Copy comments.php into your child theme. On line 61 is:

<?php comment_form(); ?>

You’d need to add arguments to that function as outlined here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/comment_form.

Line 61 would land up looking something like this:

<?php
		$comments_args = array(
        // change the title of the reply section
        'title_reply'=>'Write a Reply or Comment',
		comment_form($comments_args);
	 ?>

2. Insert the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

/* Comments */
#commentform label[for="comment"] { display: none; }
#commentform textarea { width: 100%; }

3. Insert the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

/* Vantage hide allowed comment form tags */
#commentform .form-allowed-tags, #commentform .form-allowed-tags code, #commentform .comment-notes {
display: none;
}

4. Unfortunately Vantage is missing Jetpack styling for this element. Try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:

/* Vantage Jetpack Subscription Form */
p.comment-subscription-form {
  margin-bottom: 10px !important; 
}
p.comment-subscription-form input[type="checkbox"] {
  float: none !important;
  font-size: 1em;
  line-height: 1.92857em; }
p.comment-subscription-form label.subscribe-label {
  font-size: 1em;
  float: none !important;
  line-height: 1.92857em;
  font-weight: normal;
  margin: 0 !important;
  padding-left: 10px;
  width: auto !important;
}
#commentform p.form-submit { 
  margin-bottom: 2em;
}

For sure.

Jetpack Comments would solve your problem in terms of getting a nicer look. But no, this doesn’t change anything. The Jetpack CSS I sent is for the two checkboxes under the comment form, those are from the Jetpack Subscription module.

You could try using Akismet in place of Antispam Bee, assuming that plugin is for comment form spam.

For sure. I can jump in next week and help out if you run into problems.
