I want to change the color background for the table where it says Forums, Topics , Replies and Freshness. i don’t know css or php I am using dreamweaver to try to figure out these short color codes. This is what I want to do: (photoshop was used to create the effect)

Like how the new ui plugin for bbpress does it but my color scheme. I just cant find the table

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

this is the css to customize the color , i already put purple in, you can change that to a specific color.

if you are using the bbpress-new ui plugin , i dont know if that will cause a conflict or not.

copy this css anywhere where you can put custom css

jetpack custom css module
custom css plugin
bbpress.css file

HEADER

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple;
}

i also put the footer css just in case you want to edit that too.

FOOTER

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
    background: purple;
    border-top: 1px solid #EEE;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 8px;
    text-align: center;
}

It does not work at all… I added it to my CSS Stylesheet Editor and nothing as well.

[@robkk Moderator 11 years ago]

your theme already has some bbpress styling in the main theme stylesheet.

it has background:none!important;

its kind of messy just adding !important again but it did work on my end

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple!important;
}

The author of the theme I am using has bbspress css calls in the style.css so I removed it and its working. Well I commented it out.
