Hi,

I was looking to customize the appearance of the comment box by Jetpack, but the CSS changes I make on the Child Theme don't seem to be applying on my site.

#respond #comment-form-comment textarea {
    font-size: 16px !important;
}

Am I doing something wrong?

Hi Math,

Try this first:

#respond form * {
    font-size: 16px;
}

if it doesn't work, add !important to it.

Let me know :)

Btw I love your site!

Hi Ying,

I tried that as well. It seems any changes I apply to the comment box from Jetpack are being overridden by the default CSS.

Thank you for the compliment about my site :)

Hi there,

the JetPack comment form is displayed in an iFrame that is served from the jetpack server.
And you cannot use local styles to override a 3rd party iframe. You would have to address the styles with Jetpack.

That's unfortunate. Thanks for letting me know.

You're welcome
