Styling bbpress recent topics and replies widget

[demonboy]

Hi,

I’m trying to override the X theme’s styling of the bbpress recent topics and replies widget. I’ve used inspector to find the selectors but they can’t be correct as they’re not working.

Specifically I’m wanting to reduce the font of the topic link, add padding and put a border in. Inspector tells me the id for the widget is

#bbp_topics_widget-3

Although I want to add the border at the UL level, so I’m trying

#bbp_topics_widget-3 > ul

I’ve even come across another forum in which they discuss the correct id for this widget and they too suggest #bbp_topics_widget-3.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?

Hi @demonboy,

I think that’s the right selector you are using.

Please try this css.

.forum #bbp_topics_widget-3 ul {
    border: 1px solid #ababab;
}

.forum  #bbp_topics_widget-3 li {
    padding: 10px 20px 0;
    font-size: 15px;
}

Hope it works.
