I have looked in every thread and tried everything recommended but for whatever reason, the only custom colors that show are for the admin and mod groups. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I have been trying to make this work for a few days now and I can’t think of anything else to try.

Hello, Can you share exactly what you tried?

I can’t remember all of them, they were found in different threads on here. The current one that is working for admin/mod is this one: .topic-post .moderator a { color: #000000; } and I also have this one on there currently: .names { // This part is works only for users who's primary group sp…

I tried hat and it did not work for groups. I tried it twice now. Am I meant to change “group-NAME” entirely? I change just the name part and it does not work.

You change NAME with the group’s name. If you have a group named “designers”, then you write .group-designers.

That is what I thought. It does not work. Am I missing something else? I mean I have tried everything I have come across on this forum and nothing has worked. The admin/mod groups work for whatever reason but the rest do not.

Did you install the theme component? You can follow the guide if you are not familiar with them yet: Beginner's guide to using Discourse Themes .

Yup. I just re-enabled it to try again. It still won’t change the username colors.
