not a quick php answer.
looks like css might be the way to go
Twenty Fifteen, no sidebar
but you want it specifically for forums (although not sure how they’ll navigate out again).
forums use
#bbpress-forums as the css tag, so maybe combine that with the code abiove
@flyfisherscorner – unfortunately the way bbpress works means that changing theme widths rarely works – Don’t blame me, I didn’t write it !
I’ve just looked and the code I suggested is not there, have you taken it away again?
I tested it on your site and it worked.
Are you sure you reloaded then site afterwards – some browsers remember style.css’s so the changes don’t always seem to have taken unless you refresh them, or shutdown/restart the browser.
add this to your style.css
#bbpress-forums {
width: 700px !important;
}
Functions files and child themes – explained !
I would suggest contact the theme’s author support forum, but there seems to be no support responses !
no sorry – I can see nothing wrong with the code – it seems fine, so don’ know why it is doing this.
as long as you have tried
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.
which you say you have, then can you list all the forum settings in dashboard>settings> forums in case there’s something in there.
Yes, of course I wrote a topic title, but no, there is no place to write content. It is only the first page where you create a topic.
hmmm… yes there should be somewhere to write content, and every topic has to have a title and some content.
suggest you try creating a topic in the backend to prove its all ok
dashboard>topics>new topic
then come back
and have you uninstalled the plugin?
ok, you should not change the default bbpress.css as this gets trashed by upgrades
you should put the bbpress.css file into your theme, and preferably a child theme, as otherwise theme upgrades will delete it.
See
functions-files-and-child-themes-explained
you could also use
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack
which may well do all that you want, and isn’t lost when bbpress or themes are upgraded
ok, the back to discussions link is being put in either by your theme or by a plugin (maybe buddypress)

Themes

Then come back
and have you upgraded bbpress twice recently?
ok, can you tell us exactly what the steps are for
I replace the CSS
eg, I goointo this, and click that, and press this, and then I hit the save button on the bottom right etc.
@manavforum
again the same as for bbpress – but you can use the bbpress login widget or use
https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
@awpt – can you help us to help others who may have this issue.
Did you have user role editor already? – so that this plugin might be the one having the issue?
If not what other plugins did you have?
And if you installed it just to fix, what exactly did you do one you have installed it, is it just a reset?
By the way for your information bbpress doesn’t have it own tables, it uses the custom post types of forum, topic and reply.
dashboard>forums>all forums and edit a forum
On the right hand side you’ll see parent and order – ‘order’ lets you change the order displayed.
@teamoo
It could be a theme or plugin issue

Not quite sure what you are ‘ping’ing?
I thought your last post was an answer to your own question.
bbpress search searches forums only.
hmmm.. I have been playing with my car’s engine, and now it makes a funny sound – can you tell me what I have done wrong?
Sorry, I’ll try to help but hopefully my silly sentence above will help you understand why this might be difficult.
bbpress doesn’t have a theme, so do you mean you have been changing the bbpress plugin, or making changes to your wordpress theme?
it should show the last reply time
it could be a theme or plugin issue

sorry, but if the code doesn’t work, the either you are doing something wrong, or something else is interfering.
If you have a link to your site and a page showing the issue, I’ll take one further look.
