Hi there,
I use the Genesis framework. In the Genesis theme there is a CSS part that sets the global margins.

.entry {
	margin-bottom: 40px;
	padding: 50px 60px;
}

I managed to change a lot of the CSS by learning trial and error. I managed to change lot of the CSS of bbPress, but I don’t now how to change specific global things only affecting the bbPress forum.

How can I change only the margings and the font type of the forum, without affecting the rest of the site (Genesis CSS).

Your help is highly appreciated 🙂

Hi Flash Buddy, my forum is not online yet. I am busy migrating from myBB to bbPress.
I hope my question was clear enough.

If I want to change the margins set by the global Genesis style sheet, only for the bbPress forum.

Simply copying the margins to the bbpress.css and changing it there, didn’t work. I assume I have to put something in front of .entry to identify it only applies to the bbpress.css. I have no idea what to put in front of it, nor what the syntax is.

Most likely I can use the same logic to change the font of only the forum.

thanks!

usually putting #bbpress-forums in front does the trick eg

#bbpress-forums .entry {
background-color: #f4f4f4;
}
