Hi,
The comments area on blog posts doesn’t look great and I’d like to tidy it up and make some modifications. Can someone please guide me through that?
I would like like to (please refer to image: http://moomooforex.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/Comments.png)
– Change Leave a Reply to something else
– Remove the “Comment” and whitespace on the left beside the text box and have the text box fill up the width.
– Remove the fine text about HTML tags and attributes
– Change the layout of the subscription textboxes so the text doesn’t wrap and also they are vertically closer together. It doesn’t look very professional at the moment.
Thanks!

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:
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:
2. Insert the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:
3. Insert the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:
4. Unfortunately Vantage is missing Jetpack styling for this element. Try the following under Appearance > Custom CSS:
Thanks for the help. I’ll give it a go.
One thing though, I had to disable Jetpack Comments since it appears to clash with Antispam Bee… does this change things? The Jetpack Comments looked good which is kind of what I am trying to recreate.
Thanks,

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.
Andrew,
Thank you very much. You are a champion. I have done points 2-4, and I’ll give the child theme a crack next week.
Much appreciated.

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