This tutorial will show you how to put back the allowed tags caption in your comment form area. In the latest version of the Thesis Theme the allowed tags caption has been removed.
For what ever reason, in the latest version of the Thesis theme, the allowed tags caption at the bottom of the comment box got removed (as well as the options in the Thesis UI). This might be fine for some, perhaps even preferred, but my site deals with a lot of technical content and more often then not, visitors want to post comments with code examples and other stylized bits.
Adding the Allowed Tags Caption
If I haven’t mentioned this before, the Thesis hooks and filters are the most attractive part of Thesis, you can do and customize just about anything you want. So, lets use one of the hooks to put the caption back, put the following in your custom_functions.php:
// add allowed tags caption back to the comment area
add_action('thesis_hook_after_comment_box','allowed_tags_php',9);
function allowed_tags_php() { include_once 'allowed_tags.php'; }
You’ll notice the number 9 in the add_action() call, this allows you to set an execution priority, fiddling with this number allows you to tell WordPress when to execute your callback function.
In this case, I have the “Subscribe to Comments” plugin enabled, setting it to 9 lets me put the caption before the “Notify me of followup comments via e-mail” checkbox.
Moving on…
In your custom directory, create the allowed_tags.php file with the following content:
// allowed_tags.php
You can use these HTML tags and attributes:
