Hi guys,

I have done my research and I have been able to remove the side bar from (what I think is) the top level of the forums by editing the archive-forum.php file.

When I select a forum (I currently only have one) and a topic in the forum (again, I only have one) I still see my theme’s sidebar. I decided to modify the archive-topic.php file and comment out the get_sidebar(); line (as I did above), but unlike above, this did not work.

I commented out the get_sidebar(); line for every file in the plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras folder. This did not work for me.

My question is: how do I remove my theme’s sidebar from the list of forums, topics and inside the topics too?

You could use CSS?

In the body tag there is a bbpress class, soy you could do something like:

.bbPress .sidebar { display: none; }

good luck!

Thanks for your reply.

This would work, but unfortunately it is my theme’s sidebar that is displaying, not BBPress’ side bar.

Any other suggestions?

What is is your URL? I will give you the CSS for your theme…

Thanks!
It is my theme sidebar that appears once you start to enter the forums. Currently I have it removed at the top level.

Kslad

this will bring joy to your heart.

Add it to your css file wherever you add other customization mods:

body.bbPress #sidebar {display:none;}
body.bbPress .post {width:100%;}

It will remove the sidebar and make your forum 100% width.

 

Cheers!

Thanks Spence,

I’ll give this a go as soon as our website comes back up. Our host is having some issues.
I’ll report back and let you know how it goes.

I appreciate your efforts.

any help?

[LabSecretsParticipant @labsecrets 5 months, 1 week ago]

#GatorESG,

for your theme, you need to use this instead (your content is contained in a differently named div:

body.bbPress #sidebar {display:none;}

body.bbPress #main {width: 100%;}

Cheers!
