your theme already has some bbpress styling in the main theme stylesheet.

it has background:none!important;

its kind of messy just adding !important again but it did work on my end

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple!important;
}

[Robkk]

ok i will now test out your theme,

im going to have bbpress, gd bbpress tools , and thats it

first im going to test if i can design the forum like normal

then im going to try to see if gd bbpress tools works.

im come back to you in a minute.

[Robkk]

use robins plugin.

bbp additional shortcodes

remember to read on how to use the plugin on that page too.

[Robkk]

@atfpodcast deactivate the new ui plugin, if you still have a problem reply back.

@mnhfile

just post the css code in just one thing, dont put it into two places.And if you also have bbpress new ui deactivate that.

to make categorized forums, first go to the forums section in the backend click the menu link with the beehive.

whatever forum you want to make a category change the type in the sidebar in the right. change from forum to category.

to add forums to this category, click any forum you want to be a child of the category and make the parent the certain category.

change the order number to customize the positioning, top category starts at zero then the children forums go off that.

you should end up with something like this.

first category 0
-first forum 1
-second forum 2
-third forum 3
second category 4
-fourth forum 5
-fifth forum 6
third category 7
-sixth forum 8

Dear Robin Sir
I apply alternatively value to child theme other than core values but the whole theme turns into awkward bluish colour – menu turns into singles pages and a lot more happens,,,

My problem remains
Changes not apply in child theme css not even a singles css value .
like i paste this into my child theme and i can’t obtain the required results

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple;
}

I search everywhere and read all the documentation…. watch firebug videos..

I don’t know what to do after trying all the possible options!!!!

[mnhfile]

So is there any way that I apply whole pre-made css file to bbpress forum other than individually setting css values ??

[Robin W]

bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes

this was for version 1 of bbpress, and is no longer relevant.

[Robin W]

Then the changes have not reverted !!

Are you running any caching software?

Otherwise re-install bbpress (you’ll not lose ant data) and start again.

This time don’t alter core files, use a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[mnhfile]

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ I past the codes to bbpress.css and child theme css … nothing happens … I alter the codes and add another one with !important tag but all in vain…

One more question bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes how to install these themes only in bbpress forums. please give me some illustration ..
I try a lot of methods like
-copy bb theme files to child main theme directory
-rename bb theme style.css to bbpress.css and paste to child theme directory ..I past in main folder as well as in css folder of child theme..

I shall be thankful to you if you help me in installing premade custom layouts of bbpress theme

Hello,

thank you for responding.

I did not contact my host and i just noticed this. Forums are not yet very active.

But i have posted on thesis theme forums since a beleive it is a “skin” compatibility thing.

This is the topic i started over there and em still waiting for more info:

Hello,

I just tried editing my own post in bbpress and i get a server error message :

Service Unavailable.The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
But when i try to edit an other members post, there is no problem and i can do it.

I am of course admin of my own site.

I have tried :

– Removing all css customization – no joy

– Deactivation all extensions – no joy

– Activating Twenty ten theme – works

– Activating Thesis 2.1 with Social triggers theme – works

– Reactivating Classic Responsive – No joy

It seems that the error is for any member trying to edit a reply they have created and not a topic.

If you edit a topic you started it works. So it must be an issue with the reply’s?

If that is any help

Other point, when editing from back end, it works…

And any help would be welcome!

Dominic

P.S. sorry for english, im french canadian speaking.

bbPress Styling Crib

[Robin W]

have you any other plugins that expect bbpress to be there – is so remove these first

[Robin W]

bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes

It could be a theme or plugin issue

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.

[Robin W]

yes,

Your ‘experts’ will be participants, or even moderators.

Then for your ‘normal’ you’ll need to set up a custom role

see

Custom Capabilities

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-user-roles-and-capabilities/

you just need to set up a role where the user can not do any of the reply capabilities

If you are then allowing some form of automatic registration, then set the default bbpress role to this custom one in dashboard>settings>forums auto role

bbPress Styling Crib

[Dromicus]

It is currently nearly impossible to read with the back ground being white and no idea what the text color is….white maybe as well?

[Robkk]

then just go with gd bbpress tools

you will get quotes, additional views, and some other stuff too

Hello bbPress team,

Firstly i would like to thank you for making bbPress. Its a nice handy plugin for wordpress lovers. Right now, i am trying to create a Expert Question-Answer forum using wordpress. My site has 2 types of roles. 1st is normal and 2nd is expert. Now, i need to add a functionality so that Normal users can ask their doubts in forums. But, only Experts should be able to reply to his topic or the author of the topic itself. Is this possible with bbPress? Please let me know.

I am using bbPress 2.5.4 on WordPress 4.0.

Thanks,
ankytt
