Hi. I’ve been going around this all day and haven’t found the answers to my questions so I’m posting them here.

I’m running:
- bbPress v 2.1.2
- Thesis Theme v 1.8.2
- WordPress 3.5 (Network)

These are my problems:

1) I managed to remove the sidebars for bbPress forums puting a php code on the custom_functions.php file of the Thesis Theme, but I can’t get bbPress pages to be full width. How can I tell bbPress to use 100% width?

2) My main forums page doesn’t show anything. I even created a page with the correspond slug and put on it the short code [bbp-forum-index] but this page is still empty.

3) For some reason, bbPress content font is really small. It’s always smaller than my site’s regular font. I have tried every combination of CSS classes and ids to try and change the font size used by bbPress but nothing changes. What’s the class I need to use for this? How can I get bbPress to use the same font size as the rest of my site?

My site is http://www.tunuevocuerpo.com
And the forums are (supposed to be) on http:////www.tunuevocuerpo.com/foros/
You can check one of the forums on http://www.tunuevocuerpo.com/foros/tema/programa/

Thanks in advance.

Solved the problem. Turns out I needed to install a compatibility plugin (provided by the Thesis Theme developers). I don’t know if I will be able now to properly change the forum font size, but everything else works perfectly now.

I hope this helps someone else with the same issue (i.e. anyone installen bbPress in a blog using Thesis), because I searched for this for days and didn’t find any answers, not here, not on the WP forums. The answer was in the private Thesis forum.
