Hi @aliveli,  
So there isn’t any type of Pinegrow action for directly converting something like this. Actually, this is generally, in my opinion, a bit of a WordPress shortcoming. Basically, to use Bootstrap in the comment submit form you are going to have to create/edit your comments.php file. It is extensive to walk-through, but I will link out to a [tutorial](https://seegatesite.com/customize-wordpress-comment-form-with-bootstrap/).

To summarize, your will have to define each of your fields with your desired HTML. Then apply a filter to change the `comment_form_default_fields` and pass that into the `comment_form()` WordPress function.

Let me know how far you get,  
Bob

So much thanks. I edited style.css file.  
As you said, these items come from wordpress but we can change style of them.  
So much thanks.
