Sorry, I just downloaded the Buddypress Corporate theme and I’d like to customize it a little bit.

Q. Which css file have I to modify? I’m gonna change only background, Fonts and some other img. I’m not gonna touch the main layout.

    Hi,

    I need help on this one too. I modified _inc/css/custom.css but nothing happened. I just want to change the color of the background (the left and right side of the screen and not the body (center) of the page.

    I edited custom.css but to no avail. Nothing gets changed even if I change the color. I also touched global and base.css but problem is the same. Nothing happens. Maybe i am not modifying the right file.

    Where should I modify the background color (left and right side) of the main homepage for Corporate theme? I’m not talking about the center page. It can stay white. but the two sides.

    Thanks so much!

    I use stylizer for mod css files in all my projects, but with your themes I don’t ever see any changes.

    How can I apply my mods?

    I change colors and no fx, i change backgrounds and no fx, fonts and no fx. I’m really really angry and disappointed. I think I’ll use the default Bp theme and use that as the main site theme.

    hi teethgrinder

    you may find it somewhat difficult to edit some of the css since it is

    sync coded with theme options selection.

    any way try add an !important exclamation on the css you want to edit

    sample:

    body {

    font-family: helventica, arial !important;

    font-size: 100%;

    color: #444;

    background: #000 !important; /* this will take priority */

    margin: 0px;

    padding: 0px;

    }

    also if any class css you input the !important did not take effect

    do a first id hack like this

    before

    .your-css-class

    after

    #container .your-css-class

    notice the first id #container will take priority in most cases

    cheers
