Hi Sharq219,
Before I post, I must say, I am no code-maestro rather a novice at it all. However this is what I did –
In FTP Panel,
• Followed this page – %Root Folder of the website in question%wp-contentpluginsbbpressbbp-themesbbp-twentytencss
• Edited the file bbpress.css (attached the edited version)
• You’ll notice in top few lines and bottom few lines I changed the background colour hexademical code from #efefef to #0B0808
• Be careful though, do not change it at all places. I practically changed one place at a time and saved and refreshed to check until I got the results. Best to compare the file I am sending you with your file and see if you can relate & make changes in right places.
• I suggest to start from the bottom up in the file, you are likely to see it resolve in the end.
Here is the code of the file I edited – – –
