WordPress and BBPress Theme

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    I tweaked two similiar themes to create one that looks nearly identical. I wanted to post them here. If anyone would like me to zip the themes up, I would be willing to.

    I do want to give credit to the person who created the themes in the first place. I'm not great with coming up with raw code so really all the credit is theirs.

    bbPress original theme - http://bbshowcase.org/forums/?bbtheme=MistyMorning-bbpress
    WordPress original theme - http://themeterminal.com/demo/index.php?wptheme=Ad+Clerum
    My merged theme - http://www.asparenting.com

    Have you tested it in Firefox on Windows?
    The column float is not working correctly and pushes the middle down below the left.

    Edit: Actually, what is it that you're seeing as floating? I'm confused.. I thought you were talking about the tags, but those don't float in IE or Flock for me.

    Are you using FF2 or 3? I'm on Flock, and my husband on FF3 and we're not getting that. Also, what is your desktop resolution? I'll try to recreate what you're getting.

    In FF3 or IE7 it does not look like _ck_ saw at all. Looks fine to me.

    FF3 on XP looks perfectly fine for me too.

    Are there ads or something like that holding the column in place? Because I block most ads and that might be it.

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    I don't see any ads (and I block them too).

    Immelody, I would suggest making the border around the login info boxes (for name and password) darker. I almost missed where they were and wondered how people logged in :)

    Maybe it's because I use the "large fonts" setting in Windows.
    That makes my fonts like 10-20% bigger.

    Oh, eh, that'd do it! I flipped mine to Granny Mode (sorry, _ck_, it's what I use for my gran with glaucoma) and I reproduced it. Huh. Better check my layout for that too!

    I'm afraid I do qualify for too many of the "Granny" points - large fonts, too many cats, health problems, etc. LOL!

    But I bet your granny can't write PHP or javascript so that makes me feel better somehow... ;-)

    Oh, so true! So true! That's what she keeps me around for ;) nice new Gravatar, BTW.

    Immeldoy, can you upload your theme and send me the link please?

    I want to do the same thing and tried to do everything but I keep failing! I just want to have bbpress inside my word press theme! Is that a hard thing to accomplish?!!! :(

    lolos, I apologize for taking so long to get back. You can download the themes together at http://www.asparenting.com/downloads/ASPtheme.zip . You'll want to go into header.php in the bbpress template and manually edit the page links.

    Honestly, it took me going through lots of different themes before coming to this one. I chose two themes from the same creator because generally, they'll follow the same code. Then I had to figure out what was what. Such as with these themes, there was originally two sidebars for the wordpress theme, so I had to consolidate.

    BTW, I haven't figured out what to do about the granny font size. For now, I'm going to keep it the way it is. I'm not able to reproduce the error even when I granny size.

    Hey Immelody nice work! How do you manually add the links in the bbpress theme?

    • Posted 3 years ago #

    Ganzuelo, go to your header.php. Scroll down to around line 95. Under the div id nav, you'll see a lot of links. Just plug your URLs in there, and change the text to whatever you want it to be.
