Hello !

When i try to add field to the wordpress comments, ACF seems to use always the action “comment_form_before_fields” in order to display them automatically on the front-end (
no matter what options are set on the ACF back office).

How i can display my custom fields in order to have them under the comments textarea.

Thank you !

Hi @manioums

I believe ACF already uses the “comment_form_after_fields” to show the form. The problem is, “comment_form_after_fields” fires after the comment fields in the comment form, excluding the textarea. This page should give you more idea about it: https://developer.wordpress.org/reference/hooks/comment_form_after_fields/.

The easiest way to do it would be using jQuery to move it.

I hope this helps.

Hi @james,

Thank you for your message !

I haven’t paid attention to the “excluding the text area” mention … 🙁

I solve this with CSS (display: flex; flex-direction: column-reverse;) instead of Jquery.

Thanks again,
