I cannot seem to change the background color of the “New Topic” box. Hence the text is not visible. Could you please help? Thanks!

Anyone? No one can see the text as it blends in with the background color, and having tried different browsers and different computers does not seem to help either.

I would even be happy setting the colors back to default, but how could I do that? Help!!

Go to the Backend

yourdomain/wp-admin/admin.php?page=asgarosforum-appearance

You have lots of options to customize the colors according to your ideas.

Thank you, but I have done that a multiple times. I have cleared the cache and even tried seeing the result on my friend’s computer. It still looks wrong. Why don’t the colors update after changing them?

Go to the Backend

yourdomain/wp-admin/admin.php?page=asgarosforum-appearance

Go here to Custom CSS

Type this in and see if it’s better

#af-wrapper .button-normal { color: #fff; background: #256DB3 !important; }

Did that, thank you. I cannot see the result of the added css myself (probably a cache problem still, even though I of course cleared it). How does it look to you, please? https://hilkkapiipponen.com/forum/forum/kysy-piano-opelta/

I would recommend using:

the Web Developer tools in your browser, so you see the technical details of your pages in a side panel
located the page with the button or item you want to customize the color for
right click that item when your cursor is over it, and select Inspect
then the browser will locate the settings for that item in the Web Developer panel for you
then you can modify the color of the item / button Live right there
when you like what you have changed it to, copy the color # number
update the Custom CSS using the correct item name and new color #
the correct item name can also be seen in the Web Developer panel

That is how you can define the correct settings with Custom CSS, which would then look something like:

#af-wrapper .button-normal

background: #256db3;

Good luck!
