WordPress 5.3.2 running Corvus theme.

BBPress Version 2.6.3

I have just updated BBPress and now my forum toolbar buttons are really hard to read.
How do I change the button text colour from white to black?

(On the text tab, the visual tab is fine)

Here is a link to a topic:

if you mean the

edit|trash| etc.

then put this in your theme’s custom css

span.bbp-admin-links a {
	color: #000;
}

Hi. No not admin side. But the toolbar for topics/ replies.

[Robin W]

The trouble is I can’t see what you are seeing as that only appears when logged in !

try

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
	color: #000;
}

So here is a screen shot that shows the toolbar and how the visual tab is fine, but the text tab suddenly became near on impossible to read:

so try the css above, and let me know the result.

Thanks, one last question, hopefully.

Where should I put that?
Ideally if via my server file ftp/cpanel thingy, do you have a path?

Sorry, I have no coding skills.

[Robin W]

you should be able to put that into your theme

so dashboard>appearance>customise and hopefully you should see a tab for say ‘additional css’ or ‘custom css’ – I can’t say exactly what as it is theme dependant (ie what your theme author decides) and it may be in a sub menu, or indeed not there.

Have a look around, and if you cannot find, come back

Yeah, I found that and gave it a try, nothing happened, even with cache flushing and different browsers.

[Editor Mike]

using chrome and the page source I see this:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var gdbbPressToolsInit = {
quote_method: “bbcode”,
quote_wrote: “wrote”,
bbpress_version: 26,
wp_version: 53,
wp_editor: 1 };
/* ]]> */
</script>
<style type=”text/css”>
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
color: #000;
}

</style>

<style type=”text/css”>
#wpadminbar #wp-admin-bar-gdbb-toolbar .ab-icon:before {
content: “\f477”;
top: 2px;
}

@media screen and ( max-width: 782px ) {
#wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-gdbb-toolbar {
display: block;

Which would suggest it is there?

[Robin W]

ok, try

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
	color: #000 !important;
}

[Editor Mike]

That seems to have worked!
I love you!!

Thanks heaps for your time!

[Robin W]
