How to modify comments form in the default theme.

I would like to modify the comments form so that the "site" field does not show. I have tied looking for a comment_form.php or something similar, but cannot find anything I can modify to change how my comments appear.

I have also looked in the individual album and image php files and cannot find anywhere to change it.

You help would be much appreciated :)

    You can make a custom form using hte one found in `zp-extensions`. Place it with the same name either in /plugins/comment_form or within your theme.
  • There are now options for the fields to show, but they may be only in the development release. Look on the comment options tab. If they are not there, you can give the development release a try. It is the precursor of the Zenphoto 1.4.1 release and is about to go Beta, so should be pretty stable.

    Thanks for your reply.

    I've tried to place the comment_form.php into my theme folder (as suggested), but I keep coming up with a message saying permission denied. I don't seem to be able to make any changes to this folder via FTP. Is this something you can help me with, or do I need to contact my webhost? I am using the default theme which I have duplicated and renamed. I have had no problems making changes to it via the admin panel.
  • All things related to the specifics of your site will have to be dealt with through your webhost. In this case it sounds like the permissions for the copy of the contact form you made do not allow Zenphoto to access it.

    Specially if FTP cannot change the permissions you will need to have your host help you out.
