Keep bbPress Closed Topics from being Grayed Out

[Mina]

Hi there.

I’m testing your theme for my site because I need one that works really well with bbPress/BuddyPress. I’m very impressed with what I’ve worked out so far, however I’ve run into an issue I’m hoping you can help with.

I need to keep closed Forum topics from being grayed-out.

The typical fix for this from bbPress is to add the following css to bbpress.css, which looks to me to be emmet-bbpress.css but it’s not working for me.

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #aaa !important;
}

Can you assist?
Thank you in advance.

Hi Mina,

I’ve just tried to add this code to Appearance>Customize>Additional CSS and it worked. Please try it.

Best regards,
John

Hi John,
Thanks for the reply. I added the code to the Appearance>Customize>Additional CSS.

This is literally all that is there:
/*

*/

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #aaa !important;
}

However, the topic still grayed out once I closed the topic.
Is there something else I would need to add to this area?

Thank you,
Mina:)

Hi Mina,

Probably you are confused because there is used grey color code in your style – #aaa. Please try to use another color code to ‘ungrey’ it. e.g. #000 it would be dark color

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000 !important;
}

Best regards,
John

Hi John,

Sorry for the late reply, but thank you very much for your response.
That was exactly it! It makes me want to smack my forehead, but sometimes a second set of eyes to see what’s in front of you is exactly it. Again, I appreciate it!
