bbPress.org

On YouTube, where the video on how to use it is posted, a commenter asks the same question I’m asking. Once you leave and select a Topic, the styling no longer works.

I need to be able to style the forum to look like the rest of the site and I need it to have a sidebar and I’ll need to insert images from time to time. I’d have to buy that plugin to find out it won’t do what I need it to do. The comment under the video is “But as soon as you click on a Topic you exit the Elementor styled page. Is there a way to style all bbpress pages with Elementor?” and the response is “Sorry, all bbpress things are not possible to design directly, because there some dynamic part that not possible to design with elementor.” So it won’t do what I need it to do.

I do have a question in to Elementor developers asking what can be done, but I was hoping someone here might have a solution that doesn’t require another plugin.

I don’t necessarily want to use EP to edit the forum. Is there a template you can recommend? EP overrides templates to build out the pages, but if a template will allow me to style the forum, that would be great! It probably sound s little backwards, but I’m just helping a friend and don’t want to rebuild the site to make the forum look attractive.

I think he needs to make the leap to paying someone whose area of expertise is specifically forums. He’ll eventually need a moderator, etc. Do you have developers on staff that make money working for companies whose sole focus is running a forum?
