How can I change the text on "post comment" button?

html, php, wordpress

Solution

The Comment Form Codex has everything you need to know about customizing the values of a Comment form.

$defaults = array(
    'fields' => apply_filters('comment_form_default_fields', $fields),
    'label_submit' => __('Post a Question')
);
comment_form($defaults);

That should do what you need.

Problem

I am building a site for some therapists using wordpress and am using the comment section of a post for a question and answer with the therapists. However I cannot find where the text is coming from on the "post comment" button. I would like to change it to "Post a Question". The comments.php in the theme has nothing about it and I cannot find it anywhere in the main wp-comments-post.php Any help would be great! Thanks The web address is http://s416809079.onlinehome.us/ask-the-therapist/ Edit: My confusion has been that I cannot find the 'post comment' anywhere. Also if I just add it then there becomes two buttons and the new one does not actually submit. Here is the code. ``` <?php /** * Comments Template * * @file comments.php * @package Pilot Fish * @filesource wp-content/themes/pilot-fish/comments.php * @since Pilot Fish 0.1 */ if ( post_password_required() ) : ?> <p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'pilotfish' ); ?></p> <?php /* Stop the rest of comments.php from being processed */ return; endif; ?> <?php if (have_comments()) : ?> <h6 id="comments"><?php comments_number(__('No Response to', 'pilotfish'), __('One Response to', 'pilotfish'), __('% Responses to', 'pilotfish')); ?> <i><?php the_title(); ?></i></h6> <ol class="commentlist"> <?php wp_list_comments('avatar_size=60'); ?> </ol> <?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 && get_option( 'page_comments' ) ) : ?> <nav class="pager"> <div class="previous"><?php previous_comments_link(__( '&#8249; previous','pilotfish' )); ?></div><!-- end of .previous --> <div class="next"><?php next_comments_link(__( 'next &#8250;','pilotfish', 0 )); ?></div><!-- end of .next --> </nav><!-- end of.pager --> <?php endif; ?> <?php else : ?> <?php if (comments_open()) : ?> <?php $fields = array( 'author' => '<p id="comment-form-author">' . '<label for="author">' . __('Name','pilotfish') . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '<input id="author" name="author" placeholder="'. __('name (required)', 'pilotfish').'" type="text" value="' . esc_attr($commenter['comment_author']) . '" size="30" /></p>', 'email' => '<p id="comment-form-email"><label for="email">' . __('E-mail','pilotfish') . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) . '<input id="email" name="email" placeholder="'. __('email (required)', 'pilotfish').'" type="text" value="' . esc_attr($commenter['comment_author_email']) . '" size="30" /></p>', 'url' => '<p id="comment-form-url"><label for="url">' . __('Website','pilotfish') . '</label>' . '<input id="url" name="url" placeholder="'. __('website', 'pilotfish').'" type="text" value="' . esc_attr($commenter['comment_author_url']) . '" size="30" /></p>', ); $defaults = array('fields' => apply_filters('comment_form_default_fields', $fields)); comment_form($defaults); ?> <?php endif; ?> ```
