Changing some theme colors for menu when adding/editing post or topic

The row of font/edit buttons across the top of the edit screen in my forum has inherited colors from my theme. I’d like to change them so they are easily readable, but cannot figure out how to do that for JUST the forum page. See attached screenshot.

I am not a programmer, I am using a page builder (Elementor) with WP.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi @masonga,

To override the style from your theme, you can add the following CSS to the forum:

#af-wrapper .mce-toolbar .mce-ico{
color: #000000;
}

#af-wrapper .mce-btn {
background: #FFFFFF;
}

The first block defines the background of the buttons and the second block changes the text color. I just set it to a white background and black icons. Feel free to change the colors to match your website.

Simply paste the customized CSS into the “Custom CSS” field, as explained in this documentation:

OK…gonna start by saying I am not a programmer.

I copied/pasted the CSS code directly out of the email and into the custom CSS field in the forum admin area under “appearance” and it changed nothing.

May be that the format of the code is off somehow? It pastes like this:

#af-wrapper .mce-toolbar .mce-ico{
color: #000000;
}

I tried pasting them individually, and all together and neither worked. I also tried removing the spaces in the brackets around the “color” code…still nothing.

Hi @masonga,

Usually, that should be enough because with the #af-wrapper it should be more specific than your theme CSS.

Can you please try to replace the CSS with the following:

#af-wrapper .mce-toolbar .mce-ico{
color: #000000 !important;
}

#af-wrapper .mce-btn {
background: #FFFFFF !important;
}

If that still doesn’t work I would need to get access as a user for your forum to see exactly what is going on there.
