Hello, I have a bbPress forum on my website. I am running WordPress 4.7.4 and bbPress 2.5.12.

The way I want the entire forum to look can be found on https://thehulkpress.com/forum. However, you’ll notice when you click on the one channel available that the background of the page goes to white instead of staying black. I’ve searched numerous posts and have attempted to change all css fields that make sense to a black background. I have a feeling that the Divi theme that I am running is perhaps overriding this and I may need to change something in the php files, however I am not sure where to look for that. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks for your time,

– Zach

if your theme has a css area, put this in it

#main-content {
  background-color: #000;
}

Thx for that link. But im a complete noob and have no idea how to put in the code in my theme css area.
i tried with:
#main-content {
linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(45, 55, 86) 0%, rgb(33, 37, 41) 100%)
}
But get error there!

ok, so what do you want to have this background?

[@falconizer Participant 4 years, 6 months ago]

i want it as main background like this

#main-content {
  background-color: #000;
}

That worked fine, but not with:

#main-content {
linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(45, 55, 86) 0%, rgb(33, 37, 41) 100%)
}

#main-content {
background-image: linear-gradient(180deg, rgb(45, 55, 86) 0%, rgb(33, 37, 41) 100%) ;
}

This might be related to the thread I just posted…I am actually trying to make the comment boxes and font colors match my theme…I had to search high and low for this same answer regarding the comment boxes and font colors for my main page for the theme…anyone know the code for this?
