@pascal: The change was done to avoid some difficulty that changing the placeholder values through child theme. And since it was hard coded through js in the before version. It was removed. But you and customize it using child theme. You can find more details on creating child theme HERE. Then in your child theme’s functions.php add the following codes:
/* Add Placehoder in comment Form Fields (Name, Email, Website) */
add_filter( 'comment_form_default_fields', 'help4cms_comment_placeholders' );
function help4cms_comment_placeholders( $fields )
{
$fields['author'] = str_replace(
'<input',
'<input placeholder="Name..."',
$fields['author']
);
$fields['email'] = str_replace(
'<input',
'<input placeholder="[email protected]..."',
$fields['email']
);
$fields['url'] = str_replace(
'<input',
'<input placeholder="Website..."',
$fields['url']
);
return $fields;
}
/* Add Placehoder in comment Form Field (Comment) */
add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'help4cms_textarea_placeholder' );
function help4cms_textarea_placeholder( $fields )
{
$fields['comment_field'] = str_replace(
'<textarea',
'<textarea placeholder="Your thoughts.."',
$fields['comment_field']
);
return $fields;
}
Note: Replace the placeholder values as you desire.
