  Hi, as the tittle says, i would like to change the background of the comments made by admins and editors, there is an example:

  https://magnolia1314.wordpress.com/2015/09/05/list-mat-the/

  Scroll Down to see what i mean.

  All the comments made by the admid have a background on it and i would like to add something like that but i dont know what do i have to edit, i’ve read somewhere that i have to edit it in CSS and in other sides in php, so im more like confused right now.

  Thanks in Advance.

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Hi there, to do this, you would need the WordPress.com Premium Plan upgrade, which has Custom Design and the ability to add CSS to customize the style of your site. You can try out and preview custom CSS before you buy as explained here. This is the CSS you would use. You can edit the background color as desired.

  .bypostauthor > article.comment-body {
    background-color: #cc0000;
  }

  If you are on Bluehost, you are using WordPress but you are not hosted here at WordPress.com. For self-hosted WordPress sites such as yours, I would suggest asking for help from the theme author directly or ask in the volunteer-based WordPress.org Themes and Templates forum.

  For general questions on self-hosted WordPress.org installations, visit http://wordpress.org/support/.

  One additions suggestion:
  Create a child theme so that any customizations you make will not be overwritten by a future theme update. Alternately you can use the Edit CSS function in the Jetpack plugin, or use one of the other Custom CSS plugins that will keep CSS changes from being overwritten.
