[Support request] Styling the comments section

[Baz]

Hi, I want to make some style changes to the comments section, using a child theme. Can you please tell me which file contains the comments CSS for the GP theme?

Thanks.

Hi there,

What kind of style are you after?

The file in GP is the comments.php file:
https://github.com/tomusborne/generatepress/blob/master/comments.php

But the actual comment system is actually coming from WordPress itself.

There might be filters you can use as well depending on what you want 🙂

Hi Leo,

I don’t need to make any PHP changes, just CSS, like adding a background color and border to the comments section and responses e.g.

.comment-list article {
	background-color: #eee;
	border: 1px solid #333;
	border-radius: 5px;
	padding: 30px;
}

Just wondering if GP contained CSS for the comments section somewhere within the theme.

Thanks.

You would just add the required CSS using one of these methods and overwrite what’s in the theme originally:

Let me know if this helps 🙂
