Problems with colors?
After changing and saving colors, go to the forum front-end and press CTRL+F5 twice. If you don't see any change, please follow to the instruction below.
In most cases, this problem comes from your server file writing permissions. Files are not permitted to change, thus the forum color provider colors.css file is not updated with your changes. If you cannot fix this issue in hosting server, then the following easy steps can solve your problem:
- Create colors.css file or simply download
colors.cssfile with the CSS code provided in the textarea below - Upload and replace
colors.cssfile in/srv/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/wpforo/themes/2022/directory, - Delete website cache, reset CSS file optimizer and minifier plugins caches, purge CDN data (if you have), then go to the forum front-end and press CTRL+F5 twice.
Im using Filezilla as my hosting reccomended.
Ok, So it says its there, but its not. Also I wanted to make a child theme how do I do that?
Thx for your help
Hi @jacobbiere
you can find the color.css here
wp-content/uploads/wpforo/assets/colors.css
for more theme changes
https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v2/forum-themes/theme-customization/
or you make a copy of the 2022 theme and change the theme name in the style.css
however, this theme will be deleted with a wpForo update, so you need a backup to reinsert it
visit my wpForo > Tutrix.de (unofficial german wpForo Support)
with lots of customization & modification, e.g. hover cards, topic/post preview on mouseover, chatbox and much more...

The colors CSS works fine, please go to wpForo > Colors & Styles and choose the Dark style (the last one), currently you're using the Gray style. Also, please remove all custom CSS. Once the style is changed to dark, delete all caches and check it using a private/incognito session of the browser to avoid browser cache.
