[Solved] Custom CSS Not Loading – Need Help!

I’m trying to add custom CSS to change the forum colors but nothing seems to work.

I’ve tried:

The styles just don’t apply. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong?

UPDATE: Alex’s solution worked! I needed to use more specific selectors. Thanks everyone! ✅

@mike_support – I’m using Flavor theme. Here’s my CSS:

.bbp-forum-title { color: #6831c1; }
.bbp-topic-title { font-weight: bold; }

Neither of these are working.

I see the issue! The selectors need to be more specific. Try this instead:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-title a { 
    color: #6831c1 !important; 
}
#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-title { 
    font-weight: 700; 
}

The theme CSS has higher specificity, so you need to match or exceed it. The #bbpress-forums container helps with that! 🎯

Hi Emma! Can you share the CSS you’re trying to add? That way we can check if there’s a specificity issue.

Also, which theme are you using?

@alex_coder That worked perfectly! 🎉

I didn’t realize CSS specificity was so important. Thanks for the clear explanation – marking this as solved!
