Need help fixing the background for the comments

  • I bumped into a problem today in which I noticed that the comments thread in my blog’s section had a background that was not desired. So, I need help figuring out the string of code to put into my css in order to get the colors to work with what I want. Since I probably will be horrible at explaining the issue, I’m going to link the page where the issue is occurring.

    I’m trying to get rid of the off-white background image for replies to comments. I was able to decipher the ul.children, but the background-color in the CSS did not change the background. So, any help?

    You were right, it is ul.children. Specifically, you want to change this class: commentlist ul.children in line 776 on your default.css. If you remove this line:

    background: #f5f5f5;

    You should see the blue background the parent comment has.

    Thanks, I was able to figure out how to put an overwrite onto the active theme I use based off that. Very much appreciated.

    If possible, can I get assistance with one last area? https://seferia.net/members/seferia/profile/public/ – I’m trying to do the same thing, but I’m not spotting what class to use to make the data fields for the profile not switch back and forth in color like that.

    The class that makes ’em switch back and forth is this one:

    table tr.alt td {
	background: #f5f5f5;
}

    in line 1929 of your default.css.

    You can either remove/overwrite that styling or look into the template for the profile and remove the class from the even rows of the table.
