I have been trying to figuire this out all evening and can’t make sense and am not really sure what to search for on search engines. I am pretty much a noob at wordpress. I know HTML, CSS and I can customise a basic WP template, it’s just this last bit on the comments area that I need to customise which I am having trouble with.
This is what I have in my comments.php in my theme
I have managged to customise the comments_list with a callback that I customised in the functions.php file which is in the themes folder.
I have been trying to do something similar with the comment_form because you can see how it looks at the moment - the default look.
So, my question is do you also use a 'function thing' for this, like you do with the comments_list ? because the way I managed to code that to how I like is because I used the default function for the comments_list and took the tags(I don't know if that's what theyre called, but anyway - the codes like '<?php comment_text(); ?>'
This is how the area of my functions.php for the comments_list looks
I get confused because in the codex files it says that the source is in wp-includes but I need to have the customisation of it in the theme folder obviously - I just don't know how to do it.
Because I have customised the rest of the template, I'm sure I could learn how to do it.
Thanks for any help!!
