Recently, I've endeavored to understand the comment class="…" name output from WordPress.
While it's possible to override everything at the theme level, I was curious what WP seems to want to output by default.
To that end, I have attempted to document all the commonalities I could find between the following themes.
- Twenty Twenty
- Twenty Nineteen
- Twenty Seventeen
- Twenty Sixteen
Below is an example *.scss file, without any styles applied. It just has selectors that one might use, if attempting to style the "standard" output of the most recent default WP themes.
For reference, I have also included the formatted markup for the comments section from each theme.
If you see any class="…" names that are used in all of the themes, feel free to leave a comment and I'll attempt to keep this gist somewhat up to date.
- comments.twenty-twenty.html
- comments.twenty-nineteen.html
- comments.twenty-seventeen.html
- comments.twenty-sixteen.html
ℹ️ NOTE: Some of the inline HTML comments are incorrect. For instance, in Twenty Twenty there is no
class="comments-title"element but there is a closing<!-- .comments-title -->comment. I just left in those types of errors, rather than attempt to gloss over the WP markup output.
