Stinky666 - dunno how much help I'd be, but I do notice that your CSS is off, should be background-color:, and you're missing the . before the "title-bar" class (should be .title-bar).

Further, I'm not entirely sure. It's apparent the syntax is wrong, and if I had to guess it's with the .sub-board classification. I'm not 100% tho.

Wow I can't believe I messed those two bits up. I seriously am rusty haha.
I tried correcting and it's still the same results unfortunately.

I hope we have a solution. Thanks for trying to help me.

Shouldn't that be .container.boards.sub-board.category-1 > .title-bar instead of having spaces between each class?

Having spaces tells it that each different class is a child of an element in the previous class instead of addressing the container for that category specifically. You could even shorten it to .boards.category-1 > .title-bar since categories only exist on one page.

As soon as I add a category ID, it stops the css from working. So far I can only make it apply to all , by using:

.boards > .title-bar { background-color: #75c8e6 !important; color: #fdfdfd !important; }


If I use what you said:

.boards.category-1 > .title-bar { background-color: #75c8e6 !important; color: #fdfdfd !important; }

Then using that it does not work anywhere for some reason, so targeting specific categories is strange

Do you have the category ID specified anywhere in the template? Based on the HTML you posted there's no specific mention of the category ID anywhere.

<div class="container boards sub-board">

I assume I am trying to add the wrong thing since categories only exist on one page. I am adding category-$[category.id] to the div I posted,
The above cat ID is on the "home" template, but not where you said (board).

[Brian]

The Home template would use $[category.id] within the foreach loop while the sub-boards within a board could use $[board.category_id] to get the same integer.

OMG that makes perfect sense, of course it would have board in it. Wow. Ok that works and no extra css needed adding.
Thank you Brian GREATLY that was driving me insane


Ok so, Haimovfids, go to your Layout Templates > Board
On line 2, change the following:


<div class="container boards sub-board">

To this:


<div class="container boards sub-board category-$[board.category_id]">


And that's it lol. So simple yet wow. No CSS needed, or it isn't on my test forum.

Hey I am having some trouble changing the colors of the forums. The first category is the color it should be, but the others after it are all grey. Is there something I should do in to CSS?

EDIT:
Of course I find the problem when I ask.
In the CSS the numbers for the categories after 1 are no correct. It jumped from 1 to 8.
