# Comments link block: Text customization

 * Is there a possibility to edit/customize the text of the „Comments link“ block?
 * For example: if instead of „no comments“ i’d prefer „zero reactions“ (or: „0 
   answers“), what would I have to do?

 * Hi [@immaterial](https://wordpress.org/support/users/immaterial/) – as far as
   I know there’s not currently a way to do that. One thing I’d suggest is opening
   up a Feature Request for Gutenberg (which is the Editor used in WordPress) to
   make that text editable.

 * You could use the [Say What](https://wordpress.org/plugins/say-what/) plugin 
   to change the text strings of the comments link block.
 * With the plugin active, go to Tools > Text Changes > Add New
 * These are the 3 text strings you would need to add.
 * **#1**
 * Original string:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       No comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on %s</span>
       ```
   
 * Replacement string:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       Zero reactions<span class="screen-reader-text"> on %s</span>
       ```
   
 * **#2**
 * Original string:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       %1$s comment<span class="screen-reader-text"> on %2$s</span>
       ```
   
 * Replacement string:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       %1$s reaction<span class="screen-reader-text"> on %2$s</span>
       ```
   
 * **#3**
 * Original string:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       %1$s comments<span class="screen-reader-text"> on %2$s</span>
       ```
   
 * Replacement string:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       %1$s reactions<span class="screen-reader-text"> on %2$s</span>
       ```
   
 * Leave ‘Text domain’ and ‘Text content’ fields empty for all 3 of the text changes.
