 * I’ve noticed other sites have a name, email, and website field but I only have
   a comment field. I also would like to change the text from “Leave a reply” to“
   Leave a comment”. Where are the settings to change that part of my posts?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fhow-do-i-format-the-comments-section-below-posts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello,
 * The other fields will appear only when you logged out. In logged in, it automatically
   picks the name, email and website link from your profile.
 * To change the Leave a reply text, try adding the below code to the oceanwp child
   theme’s functons.php file –
 *     ```
       add_filter('comment_form_defaults', 'ocean_custom_comment_title', 20);
       function ocean_custom_comment_title( $defaults ){
         $defaults['title_reply'] = __('Leave a comment', 'customizr-child');
         return $defaults;
       }
       ```
