It doesn’t look like mine, or is it from a plugin, if so which one? * If you inspect the markup, do the tr elements for the different types of users have different classes? If so, you could use some css, eg: * ``` tr.participant {background:Green} tr.blocked {background:Pink} ``` * [http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/html/html_colornames.asp) * Thread Starter [akyboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akyboy/) * (@akyboy) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541901) * Thanks lorro for answer,… * I have around 30 plugins so not sure what it doesnt look like, can you highlight on my screenshot and ill try to figure out what plugin it is ))) * thanks for tips on colors, i will try that asap * [Quin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quin452/) * (@quin452) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541903) * This will be edited in the CSS, so it needs live data (cannot inspect an image). * Thread Starter [akyboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akyboy/) * (@akyboy) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541905) * Quin, i was referring to the plugin i am using he asked me 😛 * But, regarding css, i am trying to add it to theme css, but it doesn’t work at all. * Is there other css for admin panel? * [Quin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quin452/) * (@quin452) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541907) * Does it mention not being able to edit the CSS in the Editor (something about permissions)? * If you cannot edit, you will need to change the permissions for the files/folders on the server. * Thread Starter [akyboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akyboy/) * (@akyboy) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541908) * I am doing it on FTP directly, i don’t have problem editing theme css file, it just doesn’t affect anything * Thread Starter [akyboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akyboy/) * (@akyboy) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541909) * tr.participant {background:Green} tr.blocked {background:Pink} tr.[WANTD] Member{ background:Red} * top to does make sense but they don’t work,… but one of my custom roles looks weird in css file, probably has to do something with formatting of role name? * [Quin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quin452/) * (@quin452) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541911) * Yea, only use letters and numbers for class names – no symbols * It may help to check the source of the page and see what HTML is used to display the users. * [Peter Lawrenson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorro/) * (@lorro) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541913) * You can try this plugin for adding css to the admin pages.

If neither of us can read the markup, this isn’t going to work. * If the different types of row don’t have class names, then you need to mess with the code, for which PHP skills will be needed. * Without being able to see the page in a browser, or even know what plugin you are using, its going to be hard to help you with this. * Thread Starter [akyboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akyboy/) * (@akyboy) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541917) * I understand. * but what plugin you are referring too? 🙂 * Whats different from your admin panel and ill try to figure out what plugin it is * [Peter Lawrenson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorro/) * (@lorro) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541918) * Regarding the screenshot of the table in the first post, is this the table at Admin page > Users? It doesn’t look like mine, or is it from a plugin, if so which one. * What menu items do you click to get to the table in the screenshot? * Thread Starter [akyboy](https://wordpress.org/support/users/akyboy/) * (@akyboy) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541919) * [http://www.serdarevic.net/screens/2014-12-05_13-20-15.png](http://www.serdarevic.net/screens/2014-12-05_13-20-15.png) * Ya, it is Admin page > Users * [Peter Lawrenson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/lorro/) * (@lorro) * [11 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/role-colors/#post-5541923) * OK, looks like you are running the tank theme with the buddypress plugin. There are no classes on the rows of users, so simple css won’t work. * I found a method here that seems to do what you want: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-a-specific-user-role-stand-out?replies=14](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-make-a-specific-user-role-stand-out?replies=14) * Some coding skills will be needed to get it working.
