How to Change the Privacy Status Background Color

Introduction

BuddyBoss displays a privacy status selector when posting activities, using a default background style. You can customize the background color of this privacy status element with a small CSS snippet to better match your site’s branding or improve visibility. This guide explains how to change the Privacy Status Background Color on the activity post form.

Custom Workaround

Before proceeding, make sure you have a complete site backup.

1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options in your WordPress admin dashboard
   
2. Open the Custom Codes section
   
3. Enable CSS
   
4. Add the following CSS code:
   

#whats-new-form #bp-activity-privacy-point {

    background: #000000 !important;

}

Replace #000000 with any hex color code you prefer.

5. Click Save Changes
   

Note: Modifications are typically considered custom work, but we are making an exception in this case. Please review the BuddyBoss Support Policy.
