Text input to comment field not visible

    I’m having weird behavior in my site for the last few days. I can’t see text input in some of the comment fields (the “name”, “email”, and “website” fields) I know the input is going in –the comments go through to moderation, but it is not visible. This seems to be an issue on Firefox and IE, but not Chrome or mobile.

    There’s an example of this behavior here:

  • You’ll need to edit the child theme’s stylesheet

    /wp-content/themes/genesis-child-01/style.css

    and add the following

    input, select, textarea {
    padding: 0 10px !important;
}

    Thanks justlooken! That did the trick.

    Would you mind clarifying something since I’m a css noob? Where is the appropriate place to put this? I initially tried putting it right above the comment entry style entries, but that didn’t seem to do the trick. Then I put it right up at the top of the style sheet and it worked.

    CSS = Cascading Style Sheet.

    As the name implies, the styles flow down to elements below so you do need to be aware of how things are affected. You say the style didn’t work when you had it further down the sheet so that probably means that something above may have been adjusting it first.

    Glad you were able to solve this ??
