Comment Form Height?

Do not edit the Twenty Eleven theme. It is the default WordPress 3.2 theme and having access to an unedited version of the theme is vital when dealing with a range of site issues.

Create a child theme for your customisations. Once your child theme is active, we should be able to help with the customisation.

It is created. Sorry, I forgot to mention. https://webdesignsbyliz.com/joeytamer/blog

Does this help?

You should be able to adjust the size of the comment box using CSS. Try adding something like:

#respond textarea {width:80%;}

to your child’s stylesheet.

What about if I wanted to change the labels? In the Twenty Eleven theme, the labels for the users not logged in is pretty large, and takes up most of the screen on a small monitor, like a laptop. Is there a way to make these smaller?

Or the text fields maybe? I’m not sure which would need to be edited. You can look at the blog page and see what I mean about how large they are. https://webdesignsbyliz.com/joeytamer/blog

What about if I wanted to change the labels?

If you want to change the text size, you can do this via CSS again. I recommend using Firefox with the Firebug add-on for this kind of work.

If you want to edit the content of those labels, see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/comment_form

Hi,

I want to resize the comment box as well. I have a TwentyEleven child theme btw. Running WP 3.3.
I managed to resize the width of the box with this rule:

#comments {
width:70%;
}

But I can’t seem to adjust the height of the commentbox. Most importantly the height of the textarea. I’ve tried stuff like:

#respond textarea #comment {
height:200px;
}

And variations. But the height of the comment box seems calculated. And I can’t figure out where or when.

Any help?

My question about changing the height of the comment box was resolved in this forum thread: [Twenty Eleven] Adjust comment box size / Height textarea
