Predefined text in comment field

  • Hi beloved support team!

    Is there any possibility to insert a predefined text in the comment field?

    Maybe something like „Enter your comments here..“?

    Thank you!

  • Hi there,

    try adding this PHP Snippet to your site:

    
    function db_comment_textarea_placeholder( $comment_textarea ) {
        $comment_textarea['comment_field'] = str_replace(
            '<textarea',
            '<textarea placeholder="Enter your comments here"',
            $comment_textarea['comment_field']
        );
        return $comment_textarea;
    }
    add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'db_comment_textarea_placeholder',99 );  
    
  • Hi David,

    absolutely perfect! Thank you very much for your fast reply.

    Is there a CSS to modify text color of the placeholder and of the fields “Name” and “E-Mail”?

    Kind regards!

  • Try this CSS:

    
    #comments :is(input, textarea)::placeholder {
        color: #f00;
    }
    
  • Sorry for my late reply: Works and looks awesome.

  • Glad to be of help!
