You can store these values in cookies and fill them when you are creating form inputs. So in save_comment_meta_data add something like this: $commenter_data = array( ‘phone’ => $phone, … ); setcookie(‘commenter_data’, serialize($commenter_data), time()+1209600, COOKIEPATH, COOKIE_DOMAIN, false); And then when you’re creating form: $commenter_data = isset($_COOKIE[‘commenter_data’]) ? unserialize($_COOKIE[‘commenter_data]) : array(); echo ‘<p class=”comment-form-title”>’. ‘<label for=”phone”>’ … Read more
