 * I have only been using WP for a short time & I just tried copying the code snippet(
   change default to leave a comment from wpsnacks.com) to my function.php and it
   didn’t work so I deleted it again and now I am getting an error and it won’t 
   let me go to anything. I have lost our church website.
    I can’t get back into
   my Theme functions php where I was doing the changes. I really need help as I
   am already in a bit of unfamiliar territory.

 * This is what I was directed to add in and I did at the end of what existed & 
   then took it out.

 * I’m sorry but as you are using a commercial theme, you need to seek support from
   the theme’s vendors.
