Changing the Post Comment button text

    I’m hosting with DreamHost and embedding the page in a Google Site. Everything is working great. But I really want the “Post Comment” text on the button to change. I would also like to change the name above the comment box from “Comment *” to “Story”.

    I am using the twentytwentythree theme so there was initially no functions.php file. I added a functions.php file. The entirety of the file is below:

    <?php function mycustom_comment_form_title_reply($defaults ) { $defaults['title_reply'] = __( 'Share a Story' ); return $defaults; } add_filter( 'comment_form_defaults', 'mycustom_comment_form_title_reply' ); function wpb_comment_reply_text( $link ) { $link = str_replace( 'Post Comment', 'Post Story', $link ); return $link; } add_filter( 'comment_reply_link', 'wpb_comment_reply_text' );

    The first function works correctly and changes the “Leave a Reply” text to “Share a Story”. The second function fails to change the “Post Comment” text. Any recommendations? I was trying to follow this post for instructions:

    Try this code:

    // change submit button text in wordpress comment form
    function wcs_change_submit_button_text( $defaults ) {
    $defaults[‘label_submit’] = ‘Post Story’;
    return $defaults;
    }
    add_filter( ‘comment_form_defaults’, ‘wcs_change_submit_button_text’ );
