@supernaturalbrews Re full-width BuddyPress pages: I see that you’re already using BP 1.7 beta 1, good for you! Make a copy of page-no-sidebar.php file from parent theme and Save As buddypress.php in your child theme folder.
To remove the vertical dotted line in the midst of full-width BP and bbP pages, add the following to your child theme’s style.css file:
body.BuddyPress #posts,
body.bbPress #posts {
background: transparent none;
}
@yetanotherlogin you can start off with the proposed patch at https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933 adjust it to taste
@supernaturalbrews Beer accepted 🙂 Cheers
There is a faint dotted line going up from posts
Not sure what you mean. Page link with the issue?
@supernaturalbrews for Triton Lite, make a copy of page-no-sidebar.php file from parent theme and Save As bbpress.php in your child theme folder.
@supernaturalbrews just to clarify …
– when you say “general forum” do you mean just the forum directory page or all of your forum pages?
– child theme of which theme?
If you have the same slug (forums) for your BP Group forums and Sitewide forums then the Group forums will prevail over the forums/ page. Either change the slug by creating a new Page with different name for the BP Group Forums and associate new Page in Setttings > BuddyPress > Pages plus remove the bbPress shortcode from Forums Page or change the slug for the Sitewide Forums and create a new Page with the new slug and add the bbPress shortcode.
Looks like this issue has been resolved.
> This is intended to be a site-wide forum and not group specific.
If you do not intend to use the internal BuddyPress Group Forums, then go to Settings > BuddyPress > Components panel and uncheck Discussion Forums component. https://codex.buddypress.org/getting-started/configure-buddypress-components/
You could add the following to your stylesheet:
#bbpress-forums ul,
#bbpress-forums li a{
color: #555;
}

Dashboard Settings > Forums — Per Page > Topics 15 Per Page

You mean WP Post comments integrated with bbPress forums? I hope that’s not a deal breaker because as far as I know, either someone has still to create a plugin that can do that and release it OR you have to code it OR you have to hire a developer to make the plugin for you.
re #1 – bbPress is responsive but needs some more tweaking https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/1933
re #2 – like the left or right column at http://testbp.org/discussion/
re #3 – hmm, haven’t seen a plugin like that, but it could be done
re #4 – Nothing is perfect in this world. bbPress works all right out of the box. So unless you have a private community, then just like many forum scripts out there, you’d need some anti-spam plugins or better yet, an active community which tags spams so admin/keymaster or moderators can delete such posts and/or members
re #5 – yes, easy to use
> newest version of bbPress is supposed to have theme compatability
It does. bbPress styles are enqueued by default. Image shows you’ve revised it and probably the template too, and you missed adding 100% width on the li.bbp-body (just a guess) or whatever container you’ve used for the page. Site URL?
bbPress 2.0.2 is compatible with WP 3.3.2 AND BuddyPress 1.5.5
