I'm trying to change the background colors for comments in WordPress, but all of the tutorials I can find online are years old and don't seem to work for the newest version of WordPress, or at least I can't seem to figure them out with my lack of knowledge using PHP. Can anyone give me a brief walk-through of how to do this? I'm just using the standard Twenty Ten theme. Thanks in advance.

Posted 1 year ago #I followed the tutorial for the post backgrounds and nothing changes. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.
As for the comments one I'm not sure where exactly I put this piece of code:
ul>
<?php $i = 0; ?>
<?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
<?php $i++; ?>
<li id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>"<?php if($i&1) { echo 'class="odd"';} else {echo 'class="even"';} ?></
ulthe < and > on the two "ul"s I removed so it would post.
I've put it where one of the tutorials said to place it and it totally bricked my comments. Any suggestions? -
the < and > on the two "ul"s I removed so it would post.
please use the code button instead of the b-quote to keep postes code readable.
a:
you might need to 'reload' the page in the browser to get changes to show (refresching the browser cache); or press 'ctrl' and 'f5' simultanously.b:
imho, twenty ten already has alternating css classes at the comments:
.even
.odd
.thread-odd
.thread-even
