    Hi There,
    I have the Education Pro theme on http://mohadoha.com. Everything is good, except the colored box that is to cover the meta at the top of each post. It looks like it isn't long enough. Can someone have a quick peek and let me know to correct this.

    Thanks

    If you use a browser inspector to look at the code, the background color is only being applied to entry-time, not the author or comments. I'm guessing the theme wasn't intended to include that information.

    I was intrigued though, so I wrote some CSS for you:

    .content .entry-header .entry-meta .entry-time {
        margin-right: -30px;
    }
    
    .content .entry-header .entry-meta .entry-author,
    .content .entry-header .entry-meta .entry-comments-link {
        background-color: #3d78c1;
        display: inline-block;
    }
    
    .content .entry-header .entry-meta .entry-author {
        margin: 0 -10px 0 0;
        padding: 5px 10px 5px 5px;
    }
    
    .content .entry-header .entry-meta .entry-comments-link {
        margin: 0 -42px 0 0;
        padding: 5px 40px 5px 5px;
    }
    
    .entry-comments-link::before {
        margin-right: 10px;
    }
