 * Dear WordPress community,
 * there are to places in the comments where the comment sections give out H3 headline
   tags. I want to convert them to normal text / div / span for SEO reasons.
 * 1) If there is a comment: “X Comments for ‘Article X’” (H3)
    2) Everytime: “Write
   a comment” (H3)
 * Is there a way to write a custom function and wrap the headlines in new tags?
 * Thanks so much!
 * Best,
    David

 * You can just simply edit the comment.php file to your liking. I’d use a child
   theme to do so though.

 * Hi [@serafinnyc](https://wordpress.org/support/users/serafinnyc/),
 * no way to find a solution via custom functions?
 * Concerning the child theme, I do find the “X Comments for ‘Article X’” (H3), 
   but not the “Write a comment” (H3). Where do I find it to replace it?
 * Thanks and best,
    David

 * I personally don’t know of any hook, because we all pretty much edit something
   like that in/on the file itself. It’s easier.
 * That file should be inside the theme you are currently using.
 * /themes/your-theme-name/comments.php
