Im using a custom filter to change the fields, but can´t figure out how to change the order of the fields in the comment form.
Desired order:
- comment field (first/top)
- name
- email
- website
This is the code which I am currently using:
function alter_comment_form_fields($fields){
$fields['comments'] = 'Test';
$fields['author'] = '<p class="comment-form-author">' . '<label for="author">' . __( 'Your name, please' ) . '</label> ' . ( $req ? '<span class="required">*</span>' : '' ) .
'<input id="author" name="author" type="text" placeholder="John Smith" value="' . esc_attr( $commenter['comment_author'] ) . '" size="30"' . $aria_req . ' /></p>';
$fields['email'] = 'next'; //removes email field
//$fields['url'] = ''; //removes website field
return $fields;
}
add_filter('comment_form_default_fields','alter_comment_form_fields');
That’s pretty simple. You just have to take the textarea
out of the default fields – filter 'comment_form_defaults'
– and print it on the action 'comment_form_top'
:
<?php # -*- coding: utf-8 -*-
/**

* Description: Makes the textarea the first field of the comment form.

*/
// We use just one function for both jobs.
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 't5_move_textarea' );
add_action( 'comment_form_top', 't5_move_textarea' );
/**
* Take the textarea code out of the default fields and print it on top.
*
* @param array $input Default fields if called as filter
* @return string|void
*/
function t5_move_textarea( $input = array () )
{
static $textarea="";
if ( 'comment_form_defaults' === current_filter() )
{
// Copy the field to our internal variable …
$textarea = $input['comment_field'];
// … and remove it from the defaults array.
$input['comment_field'] = '';
return $input;
}
print apply_filters( 'comment_form_field_comment', $textarea );
}
