Hi @holmey1
To test whether this is a BuddyPress problem or theme problem, you should switch to TwentyFifteen and deactivate all plugins. If the problem resolves then it is likely related to either a) your theme or b) one of the plugins you deactivated.
It seems that it’s a theme problem, (or the way BuddyPress deals with the theme), with it seeming that it is allowing the styles in some sections of a page to be overwritten, with it being the same with Woo-Commerce too, (me having the same problem on the product page tabs).
Somebody has told me that it’s an & that BuddyPress & Woo use in their code that needs deleting from somewhere as it is not relevant, does anybody else know what this can be as my theme is saying it is not a theme issue 🙁

Are you using this theme ? https://wordpress.org/themes/weaver-xtreme/
Just tested it and seems to work correctly. As this theme comes with 30 (!) sub-themes, i haven’t tested all skins, just default and Black&White, but haven’t seen the issue you describe.
Have you tested accordingly to Henry’s suggestion, and have you tried with other (sub-)theme colors
Can you provide a screenshot of what you get ?
Hi Dan,
Yep, I’m using Weaver Extreem with the Black/White sub theme, with the sceenshot below showing how messages look, it looking like the plugin is somehow overwriting the theme. As you can see, you can’t read alternate messages, with me having the same problem with Woo Product pages with the tabs.
I’ve had this problem before with Weaver II, (an older version of Extream), & Woo-Commerce and it was an & that I had to edit out of some code somewhere, the person who told me that had to be done, (something that worked), saying they couldn’t understand why Woo used it, with it seeming that BuddyPress does to and I can’t find the instructions I used before that worked or remember what I did.
I’ve raised this with Weaver, but all they can say is that it’s not a theme issues, it’s Woo & Buddy Press 🙁
All help appreciated, with this being the 1st Buddy Press site I’ve developed and loving it.
Highest regards,
Holmey
If you used some custom code in the past for this theme, is it possible that it still is in a child theme or in one of your theme settings ?
I tested it without any modification and it is working. Even if i agree the contrast on that Black&White theme is a bit pale.
You say nothing about another colored theme ? Is it the same issue ?
Sorry, i’m wrong. I checked again and effectively, the alternate colors are weird.
Add this to theme’s custom option (wp-admin/themes.php?page=WeaverX > tab main option > tab fonts&custom > custom css rules)
It’s a rasta example, so you can see how it works. You just have to modify the colors to your needs.
div.message-content {
color: yellow!important; /*#FFFFFF;*/
}
#buddypress div.message-box {
background-color:green!important; /* transparent!important; */
}
#buddypress div#message-thread div.alt {
background: red!important; /* #CCC; */
}
May this help. 😉
Thanks, your a star Dan, are you married, if not, can I marry you 🙂
All I have to do now is sort out my problem with my WooCommerce products page 🙂
You’re welcome ! 😉
To get rid of such styling issues, use a dev tool like Firebug to get the right CSS class name…
