Additional Button Colors?

If you look in your css file around line 1696 you’ll see the buttons colors and classes. Just copy one of them and rename it to what you want…..then of course you can edit the colors and things.

You marked your recent post as private which means I’m unable to view it. I think only admins/moderators are able to view private messages with bbpress forums. I’m just a regular customer (like you)…so you’d have to repost it in order for me to see it.

Please see my previous comment above – https://appfinite.com/topic/additional-button-colors/#post-5275 and you can add whatever color you want when you create it. Just use an online color picker to get the code for whatever color you want.

I’d love to help, but you should keep in mind, that the purpose of the forums is to lead you in the right direction so that you can write your own code, we can’t always do it for you. Hopefully I can help lead you to “Learn How to Fish” rather than just “giving you the fish”….That’s just something to keep in mind when using any forum……If you were hiring someone, well, then that’s different 🙂

To edit your css file you should be able to access that under Appearance > Editor….then select the style.css file. You can also log in by FTP and access your files directly and you could edit the css that way. The FTP way is the preferred way, for many reasons…..you can do a Google search on what FTP is and how to set it up. There should be plenty of tutorials out there, especially for whatever host you’re using.

For the buttons, you can look here at this tutorial if you haven’t already – http://demo.appfinite.com/optimal/buttons-boxes/ ….as mentioned before, you can just copy one of them in your css and replace the color code with the code that you want. The code that you want is around line 1696 in your css file. If for any reason you can’t access it (assuming you’re using Jetpack or something) here is the optimal css from the demo (which is the same as yours) – http://demo.appfinite.com/optimal/wp-content/themes/optimal/style.css?ver=1.9.1 You can search for the button codes under the “Buttons” section –

/* Buttons
------------------------------------------------------------ */

To find the color that you want, just use a color picker. Here is one for example – http://www.colorpicker.com/ After you select your color look at the top for the 6 digit hex code which should be on top right after the “#”

Here is a site that will allow you to create your own buttons with a button generator – http://www.cssbuttongenerator.com/ there are many more you could search for as well.

This should be more than enough info to get you going. Hope that helps.
