A question from Suffusion Forum ask how to move the comment form before the comments in Suffusion. The answer come from Sayontan and is also in the original topic – a block of code need to be moved in comments.php – but people need clarifications about the exact position where the code need to be.

So, as Sayontan said, copy comments.php in your child theme and edit the copy. Look for this code:

   // Begin Comments & Trackbacks
   if ( have_comments() ) { ?>
<h3 class="comments">
   <?php printf(__('%1$s to “%2$s”', "suffusion"), comments_number(__('No Responses', "suffusion"), __('One Response', "suffusion"), __('% Responses', "suffusion")), get_the_title($post->ID));?>
</h3>
<?php
      suffusion_split_comments();
      suffusion_list_comments();
      suffusion_comment_navigation();
      // End Comments
   }

// Begin Comments & Trackbacks

if ( have_comments() ) { ?>

printf(__('%1$s to “%2$s”', "suffusion"), comments_number(__('No Responses', "suffusion"), __('One Response', "suffusion"), __('% Responses', "suffusion")), get_the_title($post->ID));?>

</h3>

suffusion_split_comments();

suffusion_list_comments();

suffusion_comment_navigation();

// End Comments

}

Move this code right after the last “);” of the code for comment form showed below:

		comment_form(
			apply_filters('suffusion_comment_form_fields',
				array(
					'fields' => array(
						'author' => $author_field,
						'email' => $email_field,
						'url' => $url_field,
					),
					'comment_field' => $comment_field,
					'logged_in_as' => '<p class="logged-in-as">'.sprintf(__('Logged in as %s. ', 'suffusion'), "<a href='".admin_url('profile.php')."'>".$user_identity."</a>").
							' <a href="'.wp_logout_url(apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink($post->ID))).'">'.__('Log out', 'suffusion').'</a>.'.'</p>',
					'must_log_in' => '<p class="must-log-in">'.
							'<a href="'.wp_login_url(apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink($post->ID))).'">'.__('You must be logged in to post a comment.', 'suffusion').'</a></p>',
					'title_reply' => '<span class="icon"> </span>'.__('Leave a Reply', "suffusion"),
					'title_reply_to' => __('Leave a Reply to %s', "suffusion"),
					'label_submit' => __('Submit Comment', "suffusion"),
					'comment_notes_before' => apply_filters('suffusion_before_comment_form', "<span></span>"),
					'comment_notes_after' => apply_filters('suffusion_after_comment_form', '<p class="form-allowed-tags">'.sprintf(__('You may use these <abbr title="HyperText Markup Language">HTML</abbr> tags and attributes: %s', 'suffusion'), '<code>'.allowed_tags().'</code>').'</p>'),
					'cancel_reply_link' => __('Cancel reply', 'suffusion'),
				)
			)
		);

comment_form(

apply_filters('suffusion_comment_form_fields',

array(

'fields' => array(

'author' => $author_field,

'email' => $email_field,

'url' => $url_field,

'comment_field' => $comment_field,

'logged_in_as' => '

'.sprintf(__('Logged in as %s. ', 'suffusion'), ")."'>".$user_identity."").

' .wp_logout_url(apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink($post->ID))).'">'.__('Log out', 'suffusion').'.'.'

'must_log_in' => '

'.wp_login_url(apply_filters('the_permalink', get_permalink($post->ID))).'">'.__('You must be logged in to post a comment.', 'suffusion').'

'title_reply' => ' '.__('Leave a Reply', "suffusion"),

'title_reply_to' => __('Leave a Reply to %s', "suffusion"),

'label_submit' => __('Submit Comment', "suffusion"),

'comment_notes_before' => apply_filters('suffusion_before_comment_form', ""),

'comment_notes_after' => apply_filters('suffusion_after_comment_form', '

'.sprintf(__('You may use these HTML tags and attributes: %s', 'suffusion'), ''.allowed_tags().'').'

'),

'cancel_reply_link' => __('Cancel reply', 'suffusion'),

)

);
