Let me check how the theme handles light vs dark mode detection.

Now I understand the theme's mode system. It uses `.light-mode` / `.dark-mode` classes on the `<html>` element. The best approach is to add CSS overrides in the existing `<style>` block that use `!important` to override the inline styles when light mode is active.
Let me apply all the changes:

## Summary
**What I did:**
Edited the BuddyX 3-column community template to add light-theme-specific CSS overrides for sidebar card colors.
**File modified:**
`/var/www/html/wp-content/themes/buddyx-pro/page-templates/community-3col.php`
**Approach:**
Since the BuddyX Pro theme uses `.light-mode` / `.dark-mode` CSS classes on the `<html>` element (toggled via `buddyxModeSwitch` JS), I added CSS overrides targeting `.light-mode` with `!important` to override the hard-coded inline styles. The original dark-theme inline styles (`background:#1a1d2e`, `border:#262a3e`, `color:#e8dfd6`, heading/link `#d4825f`) remain untouched for dark mode.
**Light theme changes applied (CSS added to existing `<style>` block):**
| Property | Dark (unchanged) | Light (new) |
|---|---|---|
| Card background | `#1a1d2e` | `#2d1f1a` (warm dark brown) |
| Card border | `#262a3e` | `#3d2920` (brown border) |
| Card text color | `#e8dfd6` | `#288a7a` (teal green) |
| Heading/link/paragraph color | `#d4825f` / `#7a9a8a` | `#4ab0a0` (lighter teal for readability) |
| Heading bottom border | `#262a3e` / `rgba(212,130,95,0.3)` | `#3d2920` / `rgba(74,176,160,0.3)` |
**All elements covered by the CSS:**
- Left sidebar card (line 70) — Studios listing
- Left sidebar fallback card (line 96) — empty state
- Right sidebar card (line 125) — placeholder
- All `<h3>`, `<h4>`, `<a>`, `<p>` elements inside both sidebars
- Hover/focus states preserved (unchanged)
**Verification:** `php -l` passed — no syntax errors detected.
