CSS for Posted Comments on Blog Posts

[mikeywilson]

Hi,

I’ve managed to find some CSS to change the styling of the comments section on my blog. But when comments are posted they look different to the submit comment form. Here’s a link to my website so you can see what I mean (comments at bottom of post)…

I would like to do the following if at all possible:

1. Change the background colour of posted comments to be white (same as comment form)
2. Change the font colour for the Comments header to #43464B (same as the Blog Post Title)
3. Remove the shadow on the Post Author icon next to the comments, and remove the shadow on the Post Author text beneath my reply comment
4. Remove ‘Website’ from the comment form submission

Any help would be really appreciated!

Cheers
Mikey

Hi There,

Thanks for writing in!

Please use this CSS to make the changes in the comment box.

article.comment {
background: #fff !important;
box-shadow: none;
}
.x-comment-author {
color: #43464B;
}
.x-comment-img .avatar-wrap:before {
box-shadow: none;
}
.x-comment-img .bypostauthor {
text-shadow: none;
}
.comment-form-url {
display: none;
}

Hope this helps!

Sometimes it can get a bit difficult to find out the right selector to be able to write the required CSS codes. A handy tool that can help you in this is Google Chrome dev tools. I am sharing the resource that you can refer to get started with dev tools.
