How to Change the Background and Text Color of the Signup Hover Button

Introduction

Customizing the Signup button color helps align your site’s call-to-action with your brand palette and improve visual consistency. While BuddyBoss doesn’t include a built-in setting for this, a brief CSS snippet lets you update the button’s background, border, and text color—including its hover state.

Custom Workaround

To change the background and text color of the Signup button:

  1. In your WordPress Dashboard, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options.
  2. Scroll down to the Custom Codes section and toggle Enable CSS.

Append the following CSS code (adjust the color values as needed):

/* Hover state */

.site-header .button.signup:hover {

  background: red;

  border: red;

  color: white;

}
  1. Click Save Changes.

Note: Any modifications made using custom code are considered “custom work.” You may review our Support Policy for more information.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The button color didn’t change—what should I do?
A: Make sure your CSS was saved properly, and clear any browser or site-level cache. Also, ensure no conflicting CSS is overriding your changes.

Q: Can I use hex codes or RGB values instead of color names?
A: Yes. You can use any valid CSS color format, such as #FF6600 or rgb(255, 102, 0).

Q: Will this affect other buttons on my site?
A: No. This CSS targets only the Signup button in the site header.
