 * Some of the settings in the plugin seem to be being overridden by bbp’s own CSS.
   For instance, when I change the forum description font’s color, that works, but
   changing the font size has no effect.
 * A line in bbpress.min.css has this entry:
 *     ```
       #bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta {
       font-size: 11px;
       }
       ```
   
 * And that is overriding a line in bspstyle.css:
 *     ```
       #bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums .bsp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content {
       font-size: 24px;
       }
       ```
   
 * (I set the font size to 24 for testing purposes, so I could see very clearly 
   that it was working)

 * it may be that your theme is re-loading the bbpress css after mine (or another
   reason)
 * I’d need a link to your site to see what is happening in the browser

 * yes your theme is loading
 * [http://www.hope68.com/dev/wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/css/third/bbpress.min.css?ver=4.9.8](http://www.hope68.com/dev/wp-content/themes/oceanwp/assets/css/third/bbpress.min.css?ver=4.9.8)
 * as the theme loads later than plugins (wordpress concept is that themes take 
   priority!) then it overwrites my changes.
 * Not a lot I can directly do about this, your options are
    -  in your theme add the change to it’s custom css
 *  -  in my plugin custom css add the change but add important eg
 *     ```
       #bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums .bsp-forum-content, #bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content {
       	font-size: 24px !important;
       }
       ```
   
    -  add a child theme, and unload the min.css there
 *  -  make the min.css blank in the theme (this is not the best solution as you
      will need to make it blank each time you do a theme upgrade, but is a practical
      solution if you are not a purist!)
