[Resolved] Changing the color of comment boxes

[Jodie]

Hi Tom, David and Leo

Hope you are all well.

I have been trying to work out how I can change the color of my comment boxes so that the reader leaving the comment box has a different color to the reply comment I write.

I am assuming it would be CSS but I have no idea what to do there.

Are you able to help me please?

Kind regards

Jodie

Hi there,

try this:

/* Parent color */
.comment .comment-content {
	background-color: #efefef;
}

/* Replies color */
.comment ul.children .comment-content {
	background-color: #f5f5f5;
}

You are a superstar David!! Thank you.

When I added your css to the Additional CSS in the Appearance section it said it there was an error in the color in the replies color section. I realised that there was no # before f5f5f5f.

Once I added that, all was well. (Just a tiny bit chuffed that that was the fix and didn’t have to ask you!!

As always I really appreciate your help.

Kind regards

Jodie
