nice thanks

I guess I should have tested that code before I posted it. This gets it in the footer but I cant seem to get the blue bullets this way (although they are there) I even tried placing the

tag first just in case it needed that which didn’t do it. Also I cant seem to adjust the font size in the footer either. So the table boxes wont increase to fill the footer. I will play with it. See if i can’t come up with a better solution

It looks like its a second footer widget area. I would edit the footer file in your child theme to do this and then inline custom css to take care of it. you would need to reference content-statstics.php to include the different pieces for stats in the footer.

for example if you place this inbetweent your <footer> and </footer> you ahouls have desired effect.

<div style=”width:66%; float:Left;”>
<?php get_sidebar( ‘footer’ ); ?>
</div>
<div style=”width:33%; float:right;”>
<?php $stats = bbp_get_statistics(); ?>
<table style=”border-width:3px” >
<tbody>
<?php do_action( ‘bbp_before_statistics’ ); ?>
<tr>
<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Registered Users’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘user_count’] ); ?>
</th>

<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Forums’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘forum_count’] ); ?>

</th>
</tr>
<tr>
<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Topics’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘topic_count’] ); ?>
</th>

<th><li class=”blue-bullet”><?php _e( ‘Replies’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>:

<?php echo esc_html( $stats[‘reply_count’] ); ?>
</th>

<?php do_action( ‘bbp_after_statistics’ ); ?>

</tr></tbody></table>

<?php unset( $stats ); ?>

Now you will have to play with height box text size and add some custom css to your your style.css to get the bullets i added this right here.

ul.blue-bullet li {
color: blue;
}

and all that did is define the color of my custom bullets.

Then for users get the widget that is already included added to your footer sidebar. you should be good.

How did you resolve it so others with the same problem can have reference?

[jmodine]

http://forums.bankrollers.tk/forums/ and i am still customizing it. But i like the look and feel

[jmodine]

OK I found the problem. Sorry for bothering y’all. I was making the rule topics super sticky which made them show up every where.

[jmodine]

are you using a child theme? if not make one and then just add it to the child themes style.css it will override any other css and its the best way to keep your changes safe.

[jmodine]

How I did it is this. first I changed my css Using a child theme I just added this css to my style.css (Important to use a child theme so you don’t lose your changes.)

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: none !important;
}

.bbp-forum-title{
display: block !important;
font-size: 22px;
font-weight: bold;
border-top: 15px solid blue;
boder-top-left-radius:5px;
boder-top-right-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.bbp-topic-title {
font-size: 16px !important;
}

What this did is I made multiple forums instead of categories. when I made the forums I used the text area to include the descriptions. Left the main topic forums closed. so no one could post on there.
I then made sub forums (hence using my main forums as category tags) and again used the text area for the description while creating the forums. I left these open so post could be made in there.
Now I have all kinds of styling you can change. Play with the borders margins colors and text size until you get what you like. I also found the text size to be too small for the descriptions so I used the plug in tinymce advanced to add custom fonts, font-sizes and colors for the descriptions.

the solution to this is built in WordPress not not in bbpress. First make sure you have an actual page called forums then use short code to mate it your main forums index page. Once that is confirmed check your permalinks and make sure they are not on default. ( I usually use post name). Now your forums page should be showing as a page on your site. Then go to custom menu Dashboard>appearance>menus once there you can create many different menus and label where they will show up, or even call them through the widget area. But for your particular problem find the one called Main(top primary menu) then just add the pages you want to show up on that menu and delete the ones you don’t want to show up. (Be sure to uncheck automatically add top level pages).

changing it to 0 would be best. Just make sure you are using a child theme. If you aren’t you will lose the changes with the first update to bbpress or your theme. you can find child theme info on the codex or use this plug in to create it for you If you already have a child them just add the code above to your style.css in you child theme. It will override the bbpress css I would just recommend commenting off the css so its easy to find if you need to add more changes.

[jmodine]

can you give me a link to your site? So I can see the issue

[jmodine]

Yes its all in the CSS here is my site forums if you like the look I can help you.

The easiest way is to do a custom CSS. make a child theme first i recomend this plug in “Child theme configuration” Down load the zip file once you chose your settgings. upload the child theme through dashboard> appearance > theme > add new then use a text editor and make a style.css for your theme (bbpress will be overridden with it) I use eclipse for a text editor but notepad will work in the style css add this code
(this came directly from my site so it has a few changes you can change anything you like on it for more customization) you can see my forums lay out here

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
display: none !important;
min-height: 50px;
font-size: 18px;
border: 3px solid black;
border-top: 8px solid #871A1A;
boder-bottom-left-radius:5px;
boder-bottom-right-radius:5px;
boder-top-left-radius:5px;
boder-top-right-radius:5px;
-moz-border-radius: 5px;
-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
margin-top: 10px;
margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.bbp-forum-title{
   display: block !important;
   font-size: 22px;
   font-weight: bold;
	border-top: 15px solid blue;
	boder-top-left-radius:5px;
	boder-top-right-radius:5px;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
	margin-top: 10px;
	margin-bottom: 10px;
}

.bbp-topic-title {
	 font-size: 16px !important;
}

Like I said any of these values are changeable and you can add more or take some out. hope this helps.
