I’m using the Cafe Pro Genesis child theme and the latest version of bbpress. I would like to add a border to the text boxes on the topic and reply forms but can’t find the bbpress css in Genesis. Anyone know where to find it?

See if this custom CSS will help. Add it to your child themes style.css file or in a custom css plugin or wherever you can place custom CSS.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
}

Hi Rob

Thanks for getting back to me. Unfortunately I haven’t had any luck. I pasted your css into my child theme in the forms section which didn’t work so then tried it in the plugin section and still no luck. I found an admin.css in the bbpress plugins folder and pasted it there but that didn’t work either. Oh well, I thought this would be an easy fix.

Do not edit the bbPress plugin or modify any core files!!

Try this custom CSS and just place it in your child themes css file or in a custom css plugin.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea {
    border: 1px solid #ccc !important;
}

OK. I have now pasted the code into my child themes style.css but I still don’t have a border showing.

@tashmash

You can also try something like this too.

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea, 
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select, 
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
    border: 1px solid #ccc;
}
