   Hello,

   I was wondering how I can change the color (or the CSS in general) of the admin comments?

   I want them to stand out more, so I would change the background color, or maybe highlight the name of the admin.

   Thanks a lot! I searched the forum, but did not find it.

   Hello wouthe,

   You should be able to target it with this,

   .comment-author-admin { }

   And you should be able to target the author's name with this,

   .comment-author-admin .comment-text cite { }

   The problem with the above is that everyone commenting on the highlighted author gets highlighted as well.

   I googled and solved it. (For more information check this URL; http://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/27672/commentlist-bypostauthor-problem-with-children-list)

   For the direct answer use this:

   /* for the highlighted author */
   li.comment-author-adminname .comment-text cite {
   color:#3F0!important;
   } 
   
   /* for the others commenting on the author > set this to your default color */
   li.comment-author-adminname li .comment-text cite {
   color:#FFF!important;
   }

   And don't forget to change 'adminname' to the name of the admin!

   hi
   I'm trying to implement this code but there is a problem - it does highlight the admins name and unhighlight replies, however it also "un highlights" responses made by the admin. so if an admin replies to a comment it doesnt work.

   Your wanting just the author to be changed correct? Use this,

   .bypostauthor { background: red !important; }
