I am trying to do some CSS editing to change the background on this page to black:
http://utherous.com/forums/

I have edited the bbpress.css like so
#bbpress-forums, #buddypress {
clear: both;
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
padding:20px;
background:rgb(10, 9, 9);

For some reason these changes are not reflected on the site despite me double checking 3 times that the bbpress.css file on the FTP has the changes. It looks to me like the site is referencing another version of the file?

Any help would be great!

where is the bbpress.css files located, you should be doing

•The “css” directory contains style sheets that work with the default markup. Copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/css/

/wp-content/themes/orizon/css

is where I have put the new BBpress.css file. Which seems to be the correct place?

@conarchcpl

this looks about right, as long as its a child theme you should be good if your theme updates so you wont lose any customizations.

if that doesn’t work, then out it in your theme’s style.css, but tag it as !important

#bbpress-forums, #buddypress {
 clear: both !important;
 margin-bottom: 20px !important;
 overflow: hidden !important;
 font-size: 12px !important;
 padding:20px !important;
 background:rgb(10, 9, 9) !important;
}
