Theme Styles – wpForo – WordPress Forum Plugin

Styles are sub-components of wpForo themes. For example, in Classic theme directory (wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/) you can find /styles/ folder. This folder contains PHP file with color variables which generates colors.css dynamic file on root directory of the Classic theme. The dynamic wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/colors.css file is being generated by wpForo on first page reload. All files in /styles/ folder are only for theme developers, you should not edit them. If you want to change forum Style or individual colors you should use Style Settings located in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Styles admin page.

wpForo default Classic theme comes with six set of color styles:

default (blue)
red
green
orange
grey
dark

Info: After wpForo update colors.css file will be removed, but all color settings will still be saved in database. You just need to refresh the forum front-end twice and the colors.css will be automatically created with all old settings and colors. Thus your color customization will not be lost.
