I changed the closed comments message in comments.php from ‘Comments have been disabled’ to ‘Comments for this post have are closed’.

As I just updated to 1.6.1 it obviously over wrote this change durning the upgrade. I was just about to go and change it again, but then wondered if I can make this change by using my child theme’s function.php.

Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible. Add this to your child theme’s functions.php. (Add php markup if your functions.php file is empty)

function graphene_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {

$strings = array(

'Comments have been disabled' => 'Comments for this post have are closed',

);

if ( ! empty( $strings[$original] ) ) {

$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );

$translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );

}

return $translated;

}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'graphene_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );

Wow, that was fast! Thank you.

My functions.php is empty. But I don’t understand what you mean by ‘Add php mark up’. Sorry.

Add <?php at the beginning and ?> at the end of the code

<?php



function graphene_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {

$strings = array(

'Comments have been disabled' => 'Comments for this post have are closed',

);

if ( ! empty( $strings[$original] ) ) {

$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );

$translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );

}

return $translated;

}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'graphene_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );



?>

Added this, but no change. Cleared cache etc.

<?php



function graphene_filter_gettext( $translated, $original, $domain ) {

$strings = array(

'Comments have been disabled' => 'Comments for this post are closed',

);

if ( ! empty( $strings[$original] ) ) {

$translations = &get_translations_for_domain( $domain );

$translated = $translations->translate( $strings[$original] );

}

return $translated;

}

add_filter( 'gettext', 'graphene_filter_gettext', 10, 3 );



?>

Make sure Comments have been disabled resembles the original string in the parent theme’s comments file.

Also, remove the space in second line. I’ve added that to differentiate my first and second piece of code.
