How to Move Your Genesis Comment Form Above Your Comments/Pings

To move your comment form above your comments, simply add this bit of code to your functions.php file:

<?php
remove_action( 'genesis_comment_form', 'genesis_do_comment_form' );
add_action( 'genesis_before_comments' , 'genesis_do_comment_form' );

The code above which you add should be placed anywhere after this in your child theme functions.php file:

require_once(TEMPLATEPATH.'/lib/init.php');

And before the following closing code (if it exists):

?>

How to Change Genesis’s Speak Your Mind Comments Heading

For one of my sites, I wanted a more generic, gentler comment heading, so I needed to remove and/or change “Speak Your Mind.” Here’s how I did that.

add_filter('genesis_comment_form_args', 'custom_comment_form_args');

  $args['title_reply'] = 'Leave a Comment';    // $args['title_reply'] = ''; for total removal
  return $args;
}
