Hi,
Can you provide me a test post that I can test some comments so that I can try to rule out any plugin conflicts?
I’ll also try out Mantra. I’m assuming this is the correct link? https://ww.wp.xz.cn/themes/mantra
Thanks,
Ronald
Hi Ronald – sorry for the delay, yes that’s the right theme. I’ve set up a test site here – http://tinyurl.com/jwwvkfl (tinyurl-ified out of paranoia more than anything) – WordPress 2.9.2 and Mantra 2.3.4, nothing else, no plugins. I can give you a wp-login on that if you like.
Thanks!
Rufus,
I found the problem. The theme is setting the default textareas too small, but when it comes to the comment textarea, it’s setting it at a width of 80%.
You can fix it by adding this to the end of the theme’s stylesheet.
textarea.sce-comment-text {
width: 80%;
height: auto;
}
Since you will want to upgrade the theme, you will end up losing this style fix when you upgrade it.
I’ve coded a little plugin that you can activate without worrying about losing the style changes upon a theme upgrade.
I have the download here: https://simple-comment-editing.s3.amazonaws.com/sce-mantra-fix.zip
If this has helped you, please consider leaving a rating/review. Take care!

For those wanting to look at the code before downloading this fix, it’s available on Pastebin: http://pastebin.com/wAPfA5CG
Ronald – this is absolutely fantastic! I’ll give it a go now. Thank you so much!
Yep – works perfectly. I was lazy and just used the plugin. Many thanks again!
