   I want to modify the content of thematic_abovecommentsform. I tried

   function childtheme_abovecommentsform() {
// 1. Copied content of thematic_abovecommentsform() from comments.php
// 2. Removed unwanted html and added additional text
}
add_action ('thematic_abovecommentsform','childtheme_abovecommentsform');

   I also tried substituting the last line with

   add_filter ('thematic_abovecommentsform','childtheme_abovecommentsform');

   In both instances I ended up with two versions of "Above Comments Form", the modified one first and the original below. Also, "Required fields are marked *" disappeared from the modified version.

   I tried removing the original version by using

   remove_action('thematic_abovecommentsform','thematic_abovecommentsform');
}
add_action('init','unhook_thematic_functions');

   but it doesn't work.

   I will greatly appreciate any suggestions!

   Hi Pictrix,

   The thematic_abovecommentsform() is just an action hook. It doesn't output any code unless you hook into it. It's only there to provide a place at which to inject code into the comments template. If you want to change the markup beyound what filter hooks are provided then copy the whole comments.php into you child theme and edit the template.
