I mean i want to start the comment form field "message" first. Then i want to display name and email with submit button.</p> <p>This way i want to modify the position of fields. I think it is tough to do this with css. So, is there any way where i can call a php file with customized comment form in it.</p> <p>Thanks for the help, </p>
