• Hi.

    My Jetpack comments forms on any page on my website (like this one) have somehow obtained a white box around them. This happened just a few hours ago. It happens even though I’ve set it to the Dark theme. How can I fix this?

  • I just looked at your site and can’t see a white box. All I see is a sentence, saying that I need to login to leave a comment.

    Oh yeah. I’ll change that so you can see, sorry.

    I’ve tried reinstalling Jetpack but it didn’t work by the way.

    I think that the reason why there’s a white box is because jetpack has the body set to white.
    I’m not sure there’s any way to overwrite that. Do you have to use jetpack for comments?

    Well I don’t see why I shouldn’t use Jetpack comments because it has never done this before. It only started 1 or 2 days ago. If it only started 1 or 2 days ago, then something must have caused it to change, therefore it must be reversible.

    Am I missing something, or can you just override the white with CSS in Jetpack’s Custom CSS section?
    E.g,

    .highlander-dark {
    background: #343434;
    }

    I tried that, but it didn’t seem to work.

    It is set to the Dark theme by the way, and although the rest of the theme changes when I change the theme it in Discussion settings, the white box still stays.

    try adding !important on the end of the style;

    .highlander-dark {
     background: #343434 !important;
    }

    I tried that, but it also didn’t seem to work.

    It has a warning symbol on the line of “!important” saying “Use of !important”.

    Is there anything else I should do? Something must have caused it to randomly have a white box. It worked absolutely fine before.

    Something seems to have fixed the problem. I deactivated the SI Captcha Spam plugin and the white box disappeared. I then reactivated it, but it didn’t come back. I don’t know if it was this plugin that caused it, but it works now, and that’s what matters ?? .
