 * Hello. I wanted to make the background of the “admin” comments different color..
   I tried this code for this:
 *     ```
       .commentlist .bypostauthor {background: #e7f8fb;}
       .commentlist li ul.children li.bypostauthor {background: #e7f8fb;}
       ```
   
 * This code works, but there is a problem. If the guest responded to admin, the
   background color is different.

 * How can I fix this? It should only be admin. thanks

 * Please identify exactly which theme you are using and then post in that theme’s
   dedicated forum so the theme’s developers and support community can help you 
   with this.
