Hi there,
I searched the whole forum and i cant to seem to find one thing.
How to change the color of the Font-awesome icons of unread topics or posts.
The default is grey and black, but for example i want it to be red if its unread.
Years ago i had a phpbb forum and it was easy to change the icons. Just upload them in the right folder and that was it.
See attached file.
I apriciated you help.
Hi @remco,
You can change unread forum icons using this CSS code. Put this in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles > Custom CSS Code textarea. Save it, delete all caches and press Ctrl+F5 on forum front-end to reset browser cache:
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-1 .wpf-unread-forum .wpforo-forum-icon i,
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-1 .wpforo-subforum .wpf-unread-forum i,
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-2 .wpf-unread-forum .wpforo-forum-icon i,
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-2 .wpforo-subforum .wpf-unread-forum i,
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-3 .wpf-unread-forum .wpforo-forum-icon i,
#wpforo #wpforo-wrap .wpfl-3 .wpforo-subforum .wpf-unread-forum i {
color: #009900 !important;
}
