The comment list is output via wp_list_comments(), and the comment-reply form is output via comment_form(); so, just ensure that you call comment_form() before you call wp_list_comments().
The Chunk theme is currently under review. It has been set as unapproved by the WordPress.org theme review team. If the author makes the corrections it will be available in the WordPress theme repository.
There are 3 methods. Somewhat weird but since this text is internationalized you can filter the output. This is just an example to remove the text, the link is still present in the source. add_filter(‘gettext’, ‘remove_powered_by’, 20, 3); function remove_powered_by( $translated_text, $untranslated_text, $domain ) { $custom_field_text=”Proudly powered by %s”; if ( !is_admin() && $untranslated_text === … Read more
This is quite simple: just replace the get_the_date() or the_date() with echo human_time_diff(get_the_time(‘U’), current_time(‘timestamp’)) . ‘ ago’;

The following gives you the idea but is untested: $posts = get_posts( array( ‘post_type’ => ‘post’, ‘posts_per_page’ => 500, ‘offset’ => 0, ) ); foreach( $posts as $post ): // Update each post with your reg-ex … Read more
WordPress core by itself doesn’t support SCSS, even though it is actually used in core development now. The issue with “plugin” type solutions to add such support transparently is that they rely on “ports” of preprocessors. SCSS is not natively developed for PHP, running it in such environment is only possible with third party re–implementations. … Read more
