# Replace (optional) on WP comment

 * I switched from Disqus to Social Comments and like it so far.
 * A user noted that the WordPress comment box asks for a “Name”, “E-mail” and “(
   optional)”. The optional field confused him. I’m assuming that field is intended
   for a commenter’s website or blog URL.
 * I have not been able to find where this information is stored. Is this a WP issue,
   or is that in one of the files in the SC plug-in directory? I just want to change“(
   optional)” to “website (optional)”.
 * Excuse me if this should be posted in a WordPress support forum instead.

 * The information is stored on the FB login page, the plugin only link to fb if
   you are not logged in.

 * I’m talking about on the tab for WordPress comments, not Facebook or Google. 
   The plugin _does _know when I’m logged into wordpress.com, but if I’m not logged
   in the “optional” box is displayed below “Name” and “E-mail”.
 * Being logged into Facebook or not has no effect.

 * This data is stored in WordPress and has nothing to do with this plugin.
 * The website (optional) field is a part of the default WordPress comment form.
   and you can change the label hook a function to the `comment_form_default_fields`
   filter.
