[Plugin: Disqus Comment System] CSS in Disqus 2012

Finally found some syntax that worked, in style.css I used this:

#disqus_thread {
margin-left: 25px;
margin-right: 25px;
margin-top: 75px;
}

Worked a treat

I am also struggling with the width of Disqus. It is currently too far off to the left of my site. You can see this at https://mycurlymane.com.

I’m not sure how to adjust this with the 2012 version of Disqus. Any help you can lend is appreciated. I’m also not deeply savvy with coding and could use some detailed steps.

Pasting the code above in my CSS Editor seemed to do the trick!

#disqus_thread {
width:400px;
margin-left:25px;
margin-right:25px;
margin-top:75px;
}

It’s still over to the left, but muuuuch better! If I wanted to adjust further, do you have any tips on the numbers I should use/adjust in the code? I’m a bit nervous about tweaking this further.

Thank you!!

Hi!

Glad my findings helped someone ??

Best thing to do if you’re unsure about making live changes is to use either Chrome, right click on the Disqus box and go to inspect element or Firefox and install the Firebug add-on to do a similar thing.

You can then change the values you’ve set as much as you like, to decide where you’d like it to be positioned. The changes you make this way are only applied to the current session your browser has, i.e. no one else will see you messing about. Once you’ve found the values you want to use just change them in your CSS.

The line you’re looking for is:

<div id=”disqus_thread”>

Once highlighted, you’ll see on the right the CSS changes we’ve made above.

I’ve had a play about, and I’m guessing you want it a bit more central?

I tried changing the margin-left to 130px which seemed about correct/central, although I can’t vouch for this being the best way to “code” this as I’m only fumbling around to be honest!

Hope this helps!

Fun site btw!

I put this in style.css under content and worked perfectly!!! Thank you guys!

#disqus_thread {
width:470px;
margin-left:25px;
margin-right:25px;
margin-top:75px;
}

What I did to fix is simplet
Just added #disqus_thread to the single_post selector of theme’s style.css

.single_post, #disqus_thread {
    bla, bla, bla
}

So this will match with the themes style whatever theme you use. No need to figure out the padding or width in px.

Thanks!

Good, Thanks ??
How can I customize more inner layer of disqus? for example I want to change font size of comments. I found #document is responsible for this section by using inspect elemnt. now how can I modify “#document”?

I tried this but it didn’t work:

#disqus_thread #document{
font-size:13px;
font-family:tahoma;
}

I think I wrote previous code incorrect. however I wrote this code more carefully and it works on disqus “theme.css” in inspect element but it can’t override the rules when I’m using them in my style.css:

#disqus_thread {
font-size:13px;
font-family:tahoma;
}
.post-content {
font-size:13px;
font-family:tahoma;
}

It may be because the content of Disqus comments is generated inside an iFrame, which you can’t edit with a stylesheet that is linked to outside of the iFrame i.e. style.css

that’s right,now how can I solve this issue? the support team told that maybe they bring back this feature again. but the most important issue I’m facing with is “language direction” that causes many problems with my site.
I’m using a right to left language and new disqus doesn’t have option for right to left language.
in previous disqus it can be solved easily using “direction:rtl;”.

I read somewhere that it’s possible to change iframes style using java script even if the iframe loads from another domain. but as I’m not familiar with programming I can’t implement

Sorry for my delayed reply. I couldn’t find a way to do it. But what I have found if a better commenting plugin called Livefre

Not only can you edit the css via your own stylesheet, but it has far more functionality out of the box compared to Disqus.
I know it doesn’t answer your question, but it is definitely a contender.
