BuddyPress.org

I’m on the latest version of BuddyPress, bbPress, and WordPress.
I’m using the genesis magazine-pro theme.

I’ve been tweaking the CSS for bbpress and buddypress by copying their css files to my theme directory/css directory. So far so good. I’ve been able to make a lot of changes that fit better into my theme.

But I’ve run into a situation I don’t know how to handle. Because I’ve increased the font sizes slightly, the whats-new-options div is no longer tall enough. When I inspect it in Chrome’s inspector, I see that the height is not set by the CSS definition of whats-new-options. Instead there is a style=height:40px; attribute on the div tag.

In chrome’s inspector I see that I can chane that height to 60 and it looks ok. But I don’t know how to change that style tag permanently.

It seems to me that i have to find where this HTML is being generated. The only thing I could find is
/buddypress/bp-themes/bp-default/activity/post-form.php and I found
<div id=”whats-new-options”>
but there is no style attribute. So I’m at a loss as to where that style attribute is coming from so I can change it.

Any ideas? I know just enough CSS and PHP to be dangerous, so forgive me if I’m missing something obvious.
