Custom class on comments WordPress

  • SOLVED

I want to customize comments based on user-roles and have found a way to add classes via a function:

function fredelig_comment_classes($classes, $class, $comment_id, $post_id) {
global $wpdb;
$capabilities = $wpdb->prefix."capabilities";
$comment = get_comment($comment_id);
if ( $comment->user_id > 0 && $user = get_userdata($comment->user_id) ) {
$classes[] = join('role-', array_merge(array(''), array_keys($user->$capabilities)));
$classes[] = "user-" . $user->user_login;
}

return $classes;
}
add_filter('comment_class', 'fredelig_comment_classes', 10, 4);


This works and adds role-customrole and user-username to the code

ex:

<li id="li-comment-17716" class="comment byuser comment-author-username odd alt depth-2 role-customrole user-username">
<div id="comment-17716" class="comment-node">


The problem is that when I add some css to add a border around the comments, the border goes around "child-comments" too. (see attached screenshot) I have tested with firebug and what I (think I) need is to add my custom classes to the div below so it becomes:

<li id="li-comment-17716" class="comment byuser comment-author-username odd alt depth-2">
<div id="comment-17716" class="comment-node role-customrole user-username">


Is there a filter/hack which lets me do this? :)
