From the developer
Derek Rippe's own description of Custom Comment Form Title, lightly tidied.
The problem with the default comment form in WordPress is that the title “Leave A Reply” doesn’t really engage readers or encourage them to start a discussion or join the conversation. With the Custom Comment Form Title plugin, you can quickly change the default title to something more engaging, then set a custom comment form title on a post-by-post basis to really engage your readers. Ask a compelling question, make a bold statement, or leave an empty threat. Say whatever you want!
A note about Framework and Theme Compatibility:
Some frameworks and themes replace the comment_form_defaults function with a new, unique function. This plugin has been tested with, and is known to work with, the following frameworks:
- Genesis
- Thematic
If your framework isn’t listed above, that doesn’t mean the plugin won’t work for you. Give it a try and find out. If it doesn’t work, head over to the forum and leave some information about your framework or theme. With your help, I can work on updating the plugin to work with a wider variety of frameworks and themes.
A note about other comment system plugins:
Some comment systems replace the WordPress Comment Form all together. Special consideration must be taken to hook this plugin’s custom titles back into the page before the new comment system. This plugin has been designed to work with the following comment systems:
- Disqus
If the commment system you use isn’t listed above, head over to the forum and leave some information about what you are using. With your help, I can work on updating the plugin to work with a wider variety of comment systems.
