# Comment submit button gone?

 * Hi,
    I haven’t touched my child theme since launch. I had a few commenters on
   the site after launch and before today. I only noticed today that the comment
   submit button disappeared. I switched back to the parent theme, disabled all 
   my plugins and it’s still missing. I switched to a different theme, the comment
   submit button is there. So just wondering if the latest version of wordpress 
   affected the parent theme? Or is it just me? Thanks!

 * Hello,
 * I’m sorry for the long answer.
 * Unfortunately WordPress changed something with the comment form in the latest
   version.
 * It was fixed in WordPress two weeks ago: [https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32312](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32312)
 * I don’t know when the next WordPress release will be so you can try this code
   in your child theme until then:
    `remove_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'hybrid_comment_form_args');`
 * I’ll make sure to release an update to Cakifo as soon as possible (hopefully 
   within the next month)

 * I’m guessing to put into functions.php?
 * If so, it didn’t work. But thanks for letting me know that it’s an error on WP.

 * Try this:
 *     ```
       add_action( 'after_setup_theme', 'my_child_setup', 11 ); // maybe change 11 to a higher number
   
       function my_child_setup() {
          remove_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'hybrid_comment_form_args' );
       }
       ```
