2. Under Custom Codes, Enable CSS.
   

Append the following CSS:

.bb-icon-l.bb-icon-sidebar {

  color: #FF0000;

}

3. Save Changes.
   

Notes:
– Any modifications are considered “custom work.” Review our Support Policy for more details.
– You can replace #FF0000 with any valid CSS color.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The icon color didn’t change—what should I check?
A: Clear any caching layers (page cache, CDN, browser cache) and reload your site to ensure the new CSS is applied.

Q: I don’t see .bb-icon-l.bb-icon-sidebar in my markup—what now?
A: Inspect the expand icon with your browser’s developer tools to confirm its class names; adjust the selector accordingly.

Q: Can I use RGB or named colors instead of hex?
A: Yes—any valid CSS color value (e.g., rgb(255,0,0) or red) will work.

Q: Who can I contact for further assistance?
A: Submit a support ticket via your BuddyBoss account dashboard for personalized help.
