    I had this in my custom css for a while but just noticed author’s comments are receiving the background colour anymore.

    .bypostauthor .comment-content {
  padding: 15px;
  background: #BEDEFF;
}

    Has some functionality in the Theme changed? Thanks!

  • Hey Scott,

    Can you please post a link to your site? Also, have you tried disabling all the plugins? Thanks!

    The site is Comic Book Daily. I’ve haven’t disabled all plugins.

    Hey Scott,

    I’m seeing it displayed correctly on the second post: https://pics.competethemes.com/06081c0U3m3Y

    In the newest post by Dennis, his comments are missing the “bypostauthor” class that is usually applied. This comes from WordPress core, rather than Tracks. Can you jump into the post editor and make sure he is properly attributed as the post author? It might be worth a shot switching the author to someone else, and then changing it back to him as a way to reset the author.

    I looked at all my posts and the highlighting works for two users and not for the rest. I changed one user from contributor to author to editor just to see if it was role based but no change.

    I tried switching the latest post author from Dennis to someone else and then back again, but no change.

    The posts seem to identify the correct author since it shows in the post info and attaches the correct author bio.

    Thanks for checking that out.

    For one of these authors, please visit their profile page and make sure the email address there is exactly the same as the email address used in their comments. It looks like the email address in particular is how WordPress associates the post with the author in the comments and adds the “bypostauthor” class Tracks needs for styling.

    I turned off nested comments and the colour issue is resolved.
