# comment button text missing

 * A developer created our site and I just maintain it. I am experienced enough 
   to do most things, but my code knowledge is minimal.
 * I’m not sure how long this has been this way but the comment button on our website
   is acting strange. it’s there but there is no text, it’s just a small blue button
   at the bottom of all our posts. it looks like it would expand if text was added,
   but not sure how.
 * I found the comment section in the editor but I’m not sure if this is where I
   would fix this. this is what the code looks like right now in the comment section
 *     ```
       <?php
       /**
        * The template for displaying comments.
        *
        * The area of the page that contains both current comments
        * and the comment form.
        *
        * @package ugmtc
        */
   
       /*
        * If the current post is protected by a password and
        * the visitor has not yet entered the password we will
        * return early without loading the comments.
        */
       if ( post_password_required() ) {
       	return;
       }
       ?>
   
       <p class="comments-loader"><a><?php comments_number('Add a Comment', 'Load Comments (1)', 'Load Comments (%)' ); ?></a></p>
   
       <div id="comments" class="comments-area">
       	<?php comment_form(); ?>
       </div><!-- #comments -->
       ```
   
 * I appreciate any help I could get, thanks!

 * This may be a plugin or theme conflict. Please attempt to disable all plugins,
   and use one of the default (Twenty*) themes. If the problem goes away, enable
   them one by one to identify the source of your troubles.
 * If you can install plugins, install “Health Check”: [https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/health-check/)
   On the troubleshooting tab, you can click the button to disable all plugins and
   change the theme for you, while you’re still logged in, **without affecting normal
   visitors to your site**.
