there is alot of documentation talking about styling bbpress.
Codex
@solhuebner also if you have any ideas on what to add feel free to speak
@solhuebner i will put out a better mobile theme soon.
a thing you could do is hide the search button and add a placeholder so users know what it is, and also make it kind of like wordpress search in terms of looks.
copy form-search.php into your child theme and overwrite the code with this.
<?php
/**
* Search
*
* @package bbPress
* @subpackage Theme
*/
?>
<form role="search" method="get" id="bbp-search-form" action="<?php bbp_search_url(); ?>">
<div>
<label class="screen-reader-text hidden" for="bbp_search"><?php _e( 'Search for:', 'bbpress' ); ?></label>
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="bbp-search-request" />
<input placeholder="Search the forums" tabindex="<?php bbp_tab_index(); ?>" type="text" value="<?php echo esc_attr( bbp_get_search_terms() ); ?>" name="bbp_search" id="bbp_search" />
</div>
</form>
as it seems that everything has to be changed to make it responsive
not really bbpress is technically responsive , its just the tabled layout of the title , stats , and freshness needs a better look for mobile.
There seems to be a 10px padding on the left where the search button half hides under
well i fixed that by floating the whole search form left instead of right. but i dont know how to fix this at the moment, id have to fiddle around with your sites css in my browser to find whats causing it.
the forum table aligns there but there is a large space on the right which is where the sidebar that has diplay:none on iphone – so i suppose need to make the forum full page without sidebar in iphone view.
well normally themes have there sidebar display under their main content when it reaches a certain width. Check out and see if your theme is suppose to do this normally.
I also see there is more than one style sheet
bbpress.css is the main one you have to edit , (put it into child theme in a css folder, wp-content>yourtheme>css)
bbpress.min is the minified version
bbpress.rtl is the version of bbpress.css that users from area that read right to left use.
havent gotten the email yet so i cant check on your site immediately so i guess ILL wait til later.
glad you find the solution to your problem
yeah i dont have problems creating links in my menus and i have bbpress and wordpress 4.0
yeh toss some login details and ill check it out and see whats up
if you want it to be kind of private send the login details to my email
robcorey(at)hotmail(dot)com
wordpress has it where you can send the login data to a new user , when you register one in the backend.
like the way the tag input area shows up below this reply form??
you have to use css to make it look better
maybe removing the topic count and voice count under a certain width using @media
have you deactivated every plugin you have one at a time to see if its another plugin causing the issue
if you havent check on that just to make sure
if you have already done this and are positive it is bbpress absolutely causing the problem, please also tell us
what wordpress version you are using
what theme you use
and maybe a list of plugins
so i could see if i could recreate the problem
can you add any other links??
and i dont think bbpress would cause a problem in the menus section in wordpress.
bbp-live-preview worked when i tried it
@dandr69 the weird title look isnt because of bbpress, its how your theme reacts to long titles.
and you can put that code i gave you anywhere where you can put custom css,
a child themes css stylesheet
jetpacks custom css module if you have jetpack
if your theme has a custom css area in the appearance settings
a standalone custom css plugin
fixing the line height made it look better.
.title {
margin-bottom: 5px;
line-height: normal;
}
you can also just make the line-hieght above 21px or just remove line height from the code.
@rob24g
read my last post again since i edited it
where i talked about the recent topics widget with the topics with recent replies setting
Yes to remove the author only but nothing else
revert what you did and show the author, so it would look like this
[:)] user 1 on topic 1
[:(] user 1 on topic 2
[:'(] user 2 on topic 1
[:{)] user 3 on topic 1
because its less weird than this
topic 1
topic 2
topic 1
topic 1
or at least click show date in the widget settings
i know you dont want to show 5 recent replies topics that are the same
other ways are for your users to create more topics and make them more active so the recent replies widget shows recent replies for more than 1 topic , and it doesnt look weird
but other than that if i gave you a function to not show the actual recent replies
if you have these topics that had recent replies
topic 1
topic 1
topic 3
topic 5
topic 7
topic 1
and i wanted to only show
topic 1
topic 3
topic 5
topic 7
i just skipped them and they arent really recent replies across your site anymore
its just now the bbpress recent topics widget with the topics with recent replies settings on
put the original code back to fix your problem
did you edit the widget??
tick show author so it wont look that dumb
@julia_b if you have Activity Streams checked in settings>buddypress you can use @mentions
discourse like revision log
shows only when edits occur , shows only number of edits, on hover shows last time ago of edit.
i had two functions of code that could calculate number of edits on the post.
1 is the one i have now which calculates from when i inserted the code i believe.
the other just had a count of previous edit logs, but it had a kind of bug and showed up on all posts with the same number.
might make a tutorial on this, have to consult i guess robin or stephen if the code is good to use or not.
"if i would i suggest something , for looks i guess would be color coordination for forums and topics, if you switch to topic freshness instead of forum archive.
so the layout would be
title of topic
started by: (user) in (color of forum) title of forum
or just the title of the forum with the color of the forum as a background/
imo thats the only suggestion i really want"
My impressions so far
finally got this done , but i bet there is a better way of doing it instead of how i did it.
will post tutorial later if i find a better way.
