Is it possible to style Disqus comments box without having to upgrade to Premium or VIP. I’ve tried everything to change the colour of the text to black or grey but it stays on the default white text. That’s fine on a dark background but if i want to use a white background the text disappears.
Just to add to this and to clarify that you do not actually need to add any markup styling if you have created a p tag for your document. The color attribute in your p tag will be applied to the Disqus text for you.
It looks like you’ve got some styling or a theme applied in your Disqus settings that’s overriding anything you put in Freeway. Go to your Disqus account, then to the Settings tab, then the Appearance tab and remove anything from the Custom CSS box at the bottom of the page (or change your theme back to the default one).

Ok I’ve switched of 2012 Disqus, and the Appearance tab is now showing. I have removed the styling from the custom css on the Appearance tab (which was set to black text .dsq-comment-text {color: #000000;} so I’m not sure if that was affecting it anyway. I’ve removed the styling David suggested
There are only two themes. Narcissus and Houdini. I can’t switch both off at the same time. Not sure which is the default white text shows on both of them.
The color attribute in my p tag is grey not white. Still no luck! Very strange. Not sure what else I can do apart from start again!
Where can I find the Custom CSS section in Appearance, Settings mentioned in this thread?
Unfortunately Disqus has changed things and the level of control that was available has been lost. It is now much more difficult to make appearance changes beyond the Light/Dark themes
