Hi Asgaros, thank you for having a look at it, but I can’t see what you have typed in the subject, if anything..

Have a look at the snippet below where I typed some text then clicked on Format..

As you can see, there is nothing there unless you highlighted with the cursor, that is the same problem first mentioned by the OP

https://asgaros.com/support/topic/new-post-textarea-now-white-on-white/#postid-10084..

The problem is not in the main text area but the subject and any of the pull down menus..

Perhaps the post subject background colour, should be the same as the search background colour on dark themes..

Regards

Burt

Hello @burt

Please add the following code to Forum -> Appearance -> Custom CSS:

#af-wrapper .editor-subject-input {
    background: white !important;
}

Regarding the format-colors: Those colors are set by your theme and I cant see an easy way to change them without affecting other parts. Please contact your theme-developers so they can fix this issue!

Thank you very much. The background in the subject is now fixed… I appreciate that.

Now, regarding the font colours in the toolbar that at the moment are white on white, and they can only be seen if you highlight the text.. What would be the point of contacting Avada, when their colours are working perfectly fine in WP toolbar for posts, pages and build elements. If I contacted them, they would obviously tell me that because their theme is working fine and this issue only appears in the forum toolbar, to contact you, as the fonts are of the correct colours in the TinyMCE toolbar when in WP. Unfortunately TinyMCE doesn’t allow font colours change in their menu setting either..

You are right about Avada setting the theme colours, unfortunately there are a couple of plugins (your forum and calendar) in which Avada seems to be unable to replace colours only for some of the text and background colours..

Is there any code that I can add to your CSS so to change ONLY the fonts colour in the post toolbar from white to black? The top part is already visible; is just the pull down of the toolbar that has white fonts..

That would fix the problem that will only happen IF the theme uses dark background and have your forum installed.

I added two pictures so that you can see the difference between the theme and your forum toolbar..

Regards

Burt

Sorry Thomas, I just re-read my above post and realised that it doesn’t sound right.

I think your forum is great, simple, beautiful and right to the point. That’s why I switched from SMS to your forum (that and the inability for SMS to support PHP 7.3 until few months back).

And I don’t blame you either for the fonts colours not been corrected in the forum.

Avada, while been a very enjoyable theme to use, it has lots of problems (like the above). But every time you contact them, because they think they are perfect and never do mistakes, after several discussions both in theme forest comments and on their support forum, I simply gave up and choose not to deal with them any more. Every time I add a plugin, there are always few quirks to adjust, and sometimes it simply won’t work at all. I’m 100% positive that your forum in a vanilla WP, would show the correct colours for everything.

So thank you again, for helping me out..

Regards

Burt

Well, I’m sorry to bother you again, but it seems that the upload file background also need to be white..

Soorry..

Hello @burt

No problem. The main-issue is, that the theme is using a couple of stylesheets in the front-end which are not tested against components which are usually used in the backend (like the editor). So while in the backend its looking fine for the editor, in the frontend the theme-styles are applied which are causing the issue.

For the upload, try the following CSS:

#af-wrapper .editor-row input[type="file"] {
    color: white !important;
}

Hi @asgaros

There you go.. That’s why my code was not working… I didn’t add [type=”file”] after .editor-row input, so I was getting the whole upload section in white.. I’m learning anyway..

Thank you again for helping to fix this as well..

Regarding the toolbar in the front end, I just spend hours looking at the tinyMCE site but I can’t find any solution. I found the way to change pretty much everything else but not the float menu in the toolbar..

EDIT:

Good news. I was able to fix the problem with tinyMCE floating toolbox. The problem was actually created by Firefox browser theme..

All good now… 😎
