No effect for post title and background

I tried to change the background color for my site but it keeps staying white. Also i tried to change the font size for the title of my posts but they keep really small.
I Can change the font type using the typo plugin but the size does not increase while setting the value up. Also it does not react on "bold".
Please take a look: http://home.guender.net/
Thanks in advance
Hi there,
At first glance it looks like a plugin named "forum-server" is overwriting the styles set by GeneratePress.
The plugin shouldn't be:
1) including it's styles on every page, even if not on the forum
2) creating styles for general elements like body and p
May I suggest giving bbPress a try? It's pretty awesome and created by some of the core developers of WordPress. We're using it here.
Let me know,
Tom
Oh true, forum server overwrites all styling i see.. Well that solves a lot of problems i had lately.
Do you know if bbpress supports a better Editor for posting?
Hmm this seems to be the best one I could find: http://wordpress.org/plugins/bbpress-enable-tinymce-visual-tab/

Now that's what i call support.
Once again saved my day!
Okay, it's me ahain, the first day user. :)
I followed your advice and installes bbpress now. It's running nice but i did not yet manage my forum overview page to displayed as a one column page yet.
Do you have any advice for me?
Hi Dominik,
bbPress acts as a blog index when that page is called through the bbPress settings, meaning the "Blog Layout" option in the "Layout" section controls the layout of the forum.
This can be kind of annoying and I'm definitely looking into writing some functions that would allow people to choose the layout for the forum without having to add another option to the Customizer (don't want to overcrowd it).
Let me know if you have any questions,
Tom
Hey there,
i reconfigured my page so i only have two column, that seems to solve most problems.
But still: It seems that i'm not able to change the forums style at all. I copies bbpress's template files to generatepress folder and the folder of my generate-press-child theme "forefront" because i did not know what place the correct location was.
The forums looks still very very small:
http://home.guender.net/forum/
It's embedded by using the short code inside the page.
It seems that nothing i change inside the css has an effect.
Is this a bbpress related issue or do i have a problem with my child theme? Or is it me who is simply too noobish? :)
Thanks in advance.
Hey, it's me again.
I think i fixed it. Looks much better now. It's poison for bbpress using webfonts for "body"..
Best regards,
D.
Hi Dominik,
Glad you fixed it - your website looks great!

Is there a simple way to decrease the post title font size?
Give this CSS a try:
h2.entry-title {
font-size: 20px;
}
Adjust as needed :)
