# Overwriting theme CSS

 * Hi Pascal,
    first of all, thanks for this useful plugin, it solves many little
   but annoying issues with BBPress. I have a problem with CSS anyway, BBP Toolkit(
   1.0.6) creates (dinamically I think, based on options) its own CSS that overwrites
   the site’s theme, am I right? In my theme, I added a CSS modify to style BBPress,
   this one, simple, to list subforums:
 *     ```
       #bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
       display: block;
       }
       ```
   
 * and it works perfectly until I activate BBP Toolkit and restart to work when 
   deactivated.
    Any idea about how to solve this issue? Thanks in advance.
 * Mac

 * I had the same issue while setting up my forums.
    I didn’t manage to get the 
   custom css (same as you used) to work but with the plugin ‘bbp style pack’ I 
   got what I wanted with the bbp toolkit plugin still active.
 * It doesn’t give you a list like the css used to do but separate sections for 
   each sub forum.
    My forum now looks like this: [http://firnezia.net/forum/](http://firnezia.net/forum/)
   with the options of closing topics but not the comments.
 * Kind regards,
    Memonon

 * Hi,
    I will hopefully review bbp Toolkit in January, very sorry but too many 
   other activities in the last months. Thanks for the testing and reporting. Pascal.

 * Ciao [@macitaly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/macitaly/),
 * Did you try adding a !important into your CSS ?
 * #bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
    display: block !important; }
 * That normally does the trick…
