Changing ‘leave a reply” on line 1540 works for me.

@ drumelt, Why is it better to use a filter? What is the advantage?

I can’t provide a link because I am approving comments before they post. But most of the comments say something along the lines of “You have a great blog, I have learned a lot from your posts” or ” I like your blogs, you have a lot of helpful info”.

The problem is that my blog is all obituaries and online condolences to the families of the deceased. I do get some obvious spam, but I think I’m getting another blog’s comments somehow.

Thank you very much!!!

After updating to 3.0, this solution doesn’t seem to work anymore. I went back in and made the same changes but no change was reflected to the wp page.

What am I missing?

Here’s what’s in the comment.php;

<?php
/**
 * The template used to display Comments
 *
 * The area of the page that contains both current comments
 * and the comment form.  The actual display of comments is
 * handled by a callback to twentyten_comment which is
 * located in the functions.php file
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty Ten
 * @since 3.0.0
 */
?>

			<div id="comments">
<?php if ( post_password_required() ) : ?>
				<div class="nopassword"><?php _e( 'This post is password protected. Enter the password to view any comments.', 'twentyten' ); ?></div>
			</div><!-- .comments -->
<?php
		return;
	endif;
?>

<?php
	// You can start editing here -- including this comment!
?>

<?php if ( have_comments() ) : ?>
			<h3 id="comments-title"><?php comments_number(
				sprintf( __( 'No Responses to %s', 'twentyten' ), '<em>' . get_the_title() . '</em>' ),
				sprintf( __( 'One Response to %s', 'twentyten' ), '<em>' . get_the_title() . '</em>' ),
				sprintf( __( '%% Responses to %s', 'twentyten' ), '<em>' . get_the_title() . '</em>' )
			); ?> </h3>

<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 ) : // are there comments to navigate through ?>
			<div class="navigation">
				<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_comments_link( __( '&larr; Older Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
				<div class="nav-next"><?php next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments &rarr;', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
			</div>
<?php endif; // check for comment navigation ?>

			<ol class="commentlist">
				<?php wp_list_comments( array( 'callback' => 'twentyten_comment' ) ); ?>
			</ol>

<?php if ( get_comment_pages_count() > 1 ) : // are there comments to navigate through ?>
			<div class="navigation">
				<div class="nav-previous"><?php previous_comments_link( __( '&larr; Older Comments', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
				<div class="nav-next"><?php next_comments_link( __( 'Newer Comments &rarr;', 'twentyten' ) ); ?></div>
			</div>
<?php endif; // check for comment navigation ?>

<?php else : // this is displayed if there are no comments so far ?>

<?php if ( comments_open() ) : // If comments are open, but there are no comments ?>

<?php else : // if comments are closed ?>

		<p class="nocomments"><?php _e( 'Comments are closed.', 'twentyten' ); ?></p>

<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php comment_form(); ?>

</div><!-- #comments -->

I thought it would be there too, but it’s not.

I looked through all of the pages on my edit page and the words “Leave a Reply” are not there.

I also looked at all of the wordpress files in my blog folder on my server.

Is there a hidden comments template?
