ok, can you tell us exactly what the steps are for
I replace the CSS
eg, I goointo this, and click that, and press this, and then I hit the save button on the bottom right etc.
and have you upgraded bbpress twice recently?
The first time, I went step by step through the bbpress.css file and made my styling changes. The first time lasted about two-three weeks and an upgrade trashed the changes by overwriting the file with the default.
The second time I installed bbPress on my local development site, went through and made my changes. I then uploaded the file to the live server. To my knowledge it has not been upgraded but a couple of weeks in and the install reverts to it’s default. A quick scan of the bbpress.css shows none of the changes I made.
ok, you should not change the default bbpress.css as this gets trashed by upgrades
you should put the bbpress.css file into your theme, and preferably a child theme, as otherwise theme upgrades will delete it.
See
functions-files-and-child-themes-explained
you could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
which may well do all that you want, and isn’t lost when bbpress or themes are upgraded
FWIW, I have uploaded the custom CSS file again and the forum appears as it should. But it would be great if we can come up with a way to keep it from being overwritten in the future. It’s a nasty surprise to check on a site and see all the changes undone. Thanks for your help.
Placing the bbpress.css in my theme’s folder did not work. Everything (Forums, Sub-Forums, Topics, etc.) Displays as Unordered lists. I will look at the plugin.
