Sorry for the late reply.
This is the default structure of the comments section. Twenty Seventeen is one of the default wordpress themes and it does not have half of the features premium themes have. All this additional code interacts with each other and leads to changes in the basic theme behavior.
If you want you can edit it out in file includes\view\blog\comments.php .
I don’t see anything in that file that is stripping out paragraphs.
Can you provide some additional direction on how to keep that markup?
Also, would you consider adding this in for a future release? I think it would be really beneficial to keep the basic markup in the comments. It’s not user friendly stripping that out.
Sorry for the late reply.
To reverse back the default WordPress function for the comments styling, in file includes\view\blog\comments.php find this line: wp_list_comments( array( 'type'=> 'comment', 'callback' => 'codeless_custom_comment' ) );
Replace with this: wp_list_comments( array( 'type'=> 'comment', 'callback' => '' ) );
Save changes.
