Parament theme

I just installed the bbPress plugin yesterday. It works great but the only problem I’m having is the text in the forums is grey and very hard to read. I cant find anywhere how I can change the color of the font to black.

Thanks.

That color is set by your parament theme css

wp-content/themes/parament/style.css

Line 81 sets this color, the code wrapping it is

a {
    color: #989EAE;
    text-decoration: none;
}

change the color line to

color: #000000;

You can :
edit this file to change it, but any theme updates will overwrite it, so you’ll need to keep a record of what you changed.
or create a child theme to overwrite this
or use a plugin such as jetpack to add it using their css editor

For child themes google “creating a child theme video” to see lots on how to do this.

OR !!

You could change the bbpress background to match your site, so that the lettering can stay the same

If you like that better, I’ll work out what needs changing !
