Thanks. The forum is password protected via a member login. While we can't make it any clearer as to changing the 'individual' default forum / topic panels we respect your decision. Please consider the request closed.

We’re unable to provide a solution unless you share the website URL.

As mentioned earlier, the answer remains the same:
https://wpforo.com/community/how-to-and-troubleshooting-2/change-category-blue-panels/#post-124725

If you don’t want to share the URL publicly, I can make this topic private.

However, if you’re unable to provide the URL, I’m sorry, but I won’t be able to assist you further.

Wow this is a ton of work just to get a direct response. We have "not" modified your wpForo code. We have provided several snap shots of the forum structure layout. Please return to our posts and re-read them as we have been specific in our request. This is the section of your code in which we think you will want to address (noted below). Keep in mind this "panel" is repeated in the page=wpforo-forums. We believe the appropriate solution is to make a change in your code not a css since the panel just loops. Again as noted previously, the current working forum is members only and not open as your forum is. We have provided multiple suggestions and screen shots - and once again your responses are going in circles so please carefully read our replies.

If you provide us with your forum URL, we’ll do our best to offer a suitable CSS solution.

Note: We need to see your forum's structure in order to provide an accurate solution, as your request is quite specific.

Thank you for the css - however, your css changes "every" category to the same color which has not resolved your coding issue - in essence, they are all still the same color just different than the default. Please note the attached pic with another explanation. The category panels would most likely be controlled at the "Categories and Forums" screen. Please advise a solution. Thank you.

Use the CSS code below:

#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpforo-category {
    background-color: ***#660000 *** !important;
    border-bottom: ***3px solid #660000 *** !important;;
}

Insert the CSS Code in the "Custom CSS Code" textarea in the wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles admin page.

The red-marked values should be changed as you like.

Please note the attached image with the arrows pointing to the category (blue panels) colors I want to change. I am not sure what is so confusing as the request has been straightforward. You cannot access the forum as it is for members only. I await your prompt response.

Please provide us with the URL of your forum so we can offer a suitable CSS solution. We'll need to see the layout you're using. It would also be helpful if you could include a screenshot showing exactly what you’d like to change. This will ensure we fully understand your request.

My apologies for not being clear and specific. The category (blue panels) are the colors I want to change - as they all sit under one forum. Currently each category is = blue (color) however say we pick green as the category color. When a user views the forum the categories are "all blue" and are not distinct in color. The response you initially provided spoke specifically to "forums" not "categories within a forum" remember we are asking to change the category (blue panels) and not the main forum colors.
