  Hello,

  Is there a way to improve the nested comments in WordPress? I need to have them nested so people can reply to each other, but they get so ridiculously skinny after the third reply that they’re almost impossible to read, sometimes less than one word wide! Would it be possible to increase the margins?

  I found this code to add to the site on WordPress.org, but when I added it nothing changed:

  you can change the comment indents by adding some CSS via a custom CSS plugin or a child theme;

  example:

  .commentlist li.comment { padding-left: 1em; }
  .commentlist .comment-author { margin-top: -0.4em; padding: 1em 0em 2.9e

  Thank you for your help,

  Red

  Hi

  This may help a little:

  .sc-commentlist .children li.sc-comment {
    padding: 0.8em;
  }

  OK, so now that the comment width is improved, which I greatly appreciate, is it possible to improve them even more? I would love to make the whole comment container wider, since there’s so much unused space on the page. I tend to have discussions going on, and it would be nice to not have the comments be so cramped-feeling when there’s all that space available!

  Thank you.

  Unfortunately it’s not possible because your using a sidebar on the page
