CSS Issues

  • The main issue is the text color of any forum plugin I used and tried so far. It’s to light on a light background.

    I’ve tried all I can to change either the text color or the background color, but it just doesn’t work at all.

    I’ve installed a WPBB to show what’s I mean. See: https://veelkantie.nl/uwgratisblog/forums/ But it goes for all forum plugins i’ve tried. Either on the indexpage of the forum or in the reply section.

    So what’s the secret? How can I solve this problem? Thanks in advance ??

    Hi Nishant, thanks for the reply.

    If I install a forum plugin (I tried most of them, like WPBB, Mingle Forum, etc.) some text is white on a white background. In all forums when you want to reply to a post the text you type in the reply box is white on a white background, so you can’t read it. Only if you select the text.

    I’ve tried to change the text or the background color of the forums but it doesn’t work. The stylesheet seems so dominant that it overrides all other CSS or ajustments.

    Hi Veelkantie,

    Thanks for explain your issue.

    But we have only one way that is we will have to change the background color.

    So, for this please try one more time CSS in the following manner..

    input[type="text"],textarea{
background: url("images/search-bg.png") repeat !important;
border: 1px solid #BEBCB9 !important;
color:#fff !important;
}

    Please add the given CSS (above) in theme style.css file.

    Hope it would be helpful to you.

    And please let me know about this.

    Best!

    Great, that seems to work! Have to test it with a proper forum lay-out, but I think this is the solution!

    I’m very happy now ??

    Can I ask you one more question? Or do I need to open a new topic?

    The question is: I can’t set a static page for the website to open with. Do you know why and can I change that?

    Hi Veelkantie,

    If you want to display static page instead of default gallery page.

    Please follows the given instructions below..

    1. Find the “front-page.php” file inside “analytical” theme folder.
    2. Now, just rename the file name with “_front-page.php” this name.

    That’s it.

    Hope it would be helpful to you.

    Please let me know.

    Best!

    No! Do not edit the theme itself. First create a child theme for your changes.
