Comment Compose Text Not Visible in Dark Mode (1.0.3)

[Captain Planent]

Hello! I noticed that dark mode changes the background color of the comment compose window on posts. Because of this, the black text is not easily visible. Currently on version 1.0.3

I fixed this with the following additional CSS:

.comment-form textarea {
background-color: #FFFFFF !important;
}

This way, the background stays white instead of turning a darker color.

Hi! Thanks for reporting. I’m testing the comments form here on my end and see the text fine… hm. Do you have any screenshot of it so I can see?

[Captain Planent]

Thanks for looking into this!

I uploaded screenshots to tinypic (.) host am trying to post links. However, it appears the forum is filtering and removing my posts when they have links. Here is what should go after the domain name to see each screenshot:

That’s strange! Try to put the image links in a https://pastebin.com and see if that link works to share.

https://i.imgur.com/mygxnFG.png – where I’ve written “Test test” – is that the text that isn’t visible for you?

https://pastebin.com/Vyv4RVUV – My text is black when typing, so it’s not visible while I am typing/the textbox is in focus. I tested this on Safari (iOS and macOS) and Firefox (Windows).

After some testing while logged out, I now see it’s similar for the other textboxes for the comment

That .wpforms-form textarea additional CSS forces the text to be black?

[Captain Planent]

You’re right – sorry about that. It’s been a while since I’ve messed around with CSS.

I got myself figured out. Thank you!

Glad to hear you fixed it! 🙂
