  Hi. I’ve searched the forums and can’t see a similar question having been asked. My problem is when I go through the CSS code there’s nowhere (as far as I can tell) where I can change the background colours in my comment box. Every other comment has a different background (dark grey – see here: https://lavenderblume.wordpress.com/2016/01/29/why-men-should-stop-calling-themselves-feminists/#comments). It’s too hard to read and I want all comments to have the same background. Anybody know how I can fix this? Thanks!

  Hi there, add the following to your CSS and edit the color as desired.

  #comments li.thread-alt, #comments li.author_comment_alt {
      background: #241f16;
  }

  If you wish the background gone entirely on those comments, then set the background color to
  rgba(0, 0, 0, 0)

  Brilliant! Why didn’t I ask sooner? Thanks so much.

  You are welcome, and if you have something that is eluding you in CSS, don’t spend a ton of time trying to figure it out, let us know and we can point you in the right direction. :)
