specifically the closed topic styles, it shows in my chrome web inspector but it’s crossed out to be replaced with the exact code from the default theme that I copied down exactly.

Even weirder is that all the other css that I’ve added to my theme’s css file work just fine, just not the closed topic styles.

Any clue what’s causing it?

I’ve already tried coping the folder/file structure down exactly in my theme folder to the css but still no

Without the URL I can’t really tell

well it’s not even showing in the chrome inspector, so that’s not going to help, all I know is this is what I have in my stylesheet in my theme folder and it’s not seeing it…

#bbpress-forums ul.topic.status-closed {

background: url(../images/forum-topic-closed.png) #ffd2d2;

}

Without the URL I can’t test out anything, hence I can’t answer your question.

Lets start simple, I’m trying to change the text from grey to black here on the closed forum and it won’t stick

You are using 2.1, which is good.

What you need to do is tweak the CSS, I don’t recommend editing core, I would use this instead https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/bbpress-custom-css-file/

bbpress.css, line 48 is what you need to change, ie

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {

color: #CCC;

}
