Background color is different from the default color

    My website URI is https://www.theparadigmshiftgroup.com. My theme is Quest by Pace Themes. I am using bbPress for the forum.

    I have set my global background color to black (#000000) and text colors to white (#ffffff). Other color options were set accordingly to maintain the contrast. But this is not working in these cases –
    1. any topic view (e.g. https://www.theparadigmshiftgroup.com/forums/forums/topic/why-some-animals-do-not-have-any-gall-bladder/) – there is actually a whole paragraph of text in that white area.
    2. forum list page (e.g. https://www.theparadigmshiftgroup.com/forums/all-forums/) – you can find the alternate black and white stripes in the forum list.

    I have tried all customization option but nothing changed the color. Finally I decided to ask this community for a solution.

    One of the moderators of this forum previously advised me to use this CSS –
    html #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
    html #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
    html #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums,
    html #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
    html #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results,
    html #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum,
    html #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
    border: 0;
    }

    html #bbpress-forums li.bbp-header,
    html #bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer,
    html #bbpress-forums div.odd,
    html #bbpress-forums ul.odd {
    background: none;
    }

    But it didn’t resolve the problem. Please help!

  • You can add this code to your Child Theme style.css file, or by using a Custom CSS plugin.

    .bbp-reply-content,
#bbpress-forums div.even, 
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
    color: #000;
}

    Hope this helps.

    Wow! ThemeSumo,(@themesumo) you are a magician! The texts appeared as soon as I put your code. Thank you thank you thank you thank you!!! Then I just increased the font variant from 300 to 600 to make those fonts even bigger…please take a look now, it worked. With so little amount of code!!

    I have another request, I mean in the forum page , can you please make those alternate white bands disappear? just make the background black like the rest of the page…a little bit magic once more…please.

    No problem.

    You can add this to your CSS:

    #bbpress-forums div.even, 
#bbpress-forums ul.even {
    color: #fff !important;
    background-color: #000;
}

    EDIT: You can probably get rid of the color: #000; from my last code so we don’t need to use !important here.

    Hope this helps.

    It worked! ThemeSumo (@themesumo), I really don’t know how to thank you. But if you ever need any help particularly health related advice just let me know. It would be an honor if I can help you.

    You’re very welcome, good luck!
