# Comment style changed automatically

 * Recently I just realized my comment layout has changed automatically. It used
   to be:
 * > User name field
   >  User email address field User website url field Comment field
   > Submit button
 * But then without doing anything to comments.php and style.css under my theme 
   folder, the fields swap by themselves and turn into:
 * > Comment field
   >  User name field User email address field User website url field
   > Submit button
 * I don’t know when this has effected. I check the comments.php and it shows:
 *     ```
       <?php
       $comment_args = array(
   
       		'fields' => apply_filters(
         		'comment_form_default_fields', array(
       			'author' => '<p class="comment-form-author">' ...
       			'email'  => '<p class="comment-form-email">' ...
       			'url'	 => '<p class="comment-form-url">' ...
         			)
         		),
       		'comment_notes_before' => '',
       		'comment_notes_after'  => '',
       		'title_reply'          => __( 'Put your comment here' ),
       		'title_reply_to'       => __( 'Reply to %s' ),
       		'label_submit'         => __( 'Post' ),
       		'comment_field'        => '<p class="comment-form-comment"><label for="comment">' ...
           );
        comment_form($comment_args);
       ?>
       ```
   
 * Based on the sequence it makes perfect sense to have the layout as:
 * > User name field
   >  User email address field User website url field Comment field
   > Submit button
 * But I simply couldn’t figure out why the comment field moves to the top of the
   sequence by itself. Anyone has the same problem and a solution to this? Appreciate
   your help. Thank you very much.

 * Hi [@wiselyl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wiselyl/)!
 * This was an intentional change in WordPress 4.4, as mentioned in the [Master List](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/read-this-first-wordpress-44-master-list?replies=6&view=all#post-7753845).
 * If you prefer it back the old way, you can install the [Reverse Comment Textarea](https://wordpress.org/plugins/reverse-comment-textarea/)
   plugin.
