link to an example please
Sorry, Robin, but it’s in a subscriber-only section of the site so there’s no easy way to do that.
If necessary, I could set up a dummy account for someone to use to access the forums area. But I wouldn’t want to post the credentials on this help forum.
If screenshots would be helpful I’m happy to provide them, although I don’t recall a way of uploading them to a comment/entry.
ok, can I ask which setting in bbp style pack you are using – ie what tab and what setting number, that should let me suggest some fix
Sure: I’m tweaking setting #1 on Topic/Reply Form
so that changes the
‘Topic Title (Maximum length’… label above the area where the user types in the title.
This changes on my test site.
Is that the one you are trying to change?
Yes, but it also (according to the picture) should change the font for Topic Tags, Topic Type, Topic Status (State?) and the notify me checkbox text.
yes it does on my test site.
are none or only some of these happening?
On my site, changing the font size to “8px” without the quotes does not change the font size. Interestingly, changing the color did update the color.
Based on further experimentation I think I see what’s happening: changing that particular font size parameter only affects the >>label<< for the dropdown, not the dropdown itself. Which is consistent with it being in the “1. Label” section :).
There doesn’t appear to be a way, through that configuration page, to change the font size of the dropdown.
Is the parameter maybe defined somewhere else?
Some further info, based on inspecting the page element…
It looks like the font size is defined in one of these classes:
ast-button
ast-custom-button
ok, not sure what ‘drop-down’ you are referring to.
you can load an image to your websites media, and then post the link here
ast-button and ast-custom-button are not classes belonging to bbpress
but if those are the classes then
.ast-button
{
font-size: 8px !important ;
}
and/or
.ast-custom-button
{
font-size: 8px !important ;
}
in either your themes custom css area or my plugins custom css tab
Here’s a link to an image showing the problem:

But I think your comment about those css classes not being part of bbPress are an important clue.
They are probably defined in the theme rather than customizable through bbPress, so you suggested css additions should work. I’ll give it a try and let you know what happens.
BTW, another thought: the selects (i.e., dropdowns) are decorated with a css class called bbp_dropdown. Which would likely be a much better target for customization than the themes-based classes.
Do you know if bbp_dropdown can be customized through the style pack somewhere? If not, it might be a good capability to add.
Okay, took a little bit of messing around with caching and getting the class name right, but I managed to shrink the font to something readable.
Probably still a good idea to allow customization through the style pack UI if it’s not already available someplace.
could you post the css you finally used please
Sure, sorry, should’ve done that.
.bbp_dropdown {
font-size: 12px;
}
I added this at Appearance -> Customization -> Additional CSS. I’m using Astra Pro, but I think the location is the same for all/most themes.
