the bbpress sidebar should be attached to all forum pages.
The sidebar is exactly called “bbPress sidebar”
It is available in the widgets area when you have installed the bbpress plugin.
You can add different widgets like “(bbPress) Forum Search Form”, “(bbPress) Forum List” or “(bbPress) Login Widget” to it.

ok what should be on this bbpress sidebar??
is it a plugin, did you make it out of the plugin custom sidebars??
tell me as much information that you can about it.
first one more question , do you have custom css rules that you added already that include modifying images?
I don’t have a bbpress custom theme
okay create a bbpress custom theme now, add all the templates into your child theme.
more info here https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum-part-3/
lets work on this first http://revlanka.com/forums/forum/automotive-news/local-news/
since it has the issue on the notice , started by and freshness authors
now go to loop-single-topic.php and find
<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link( array( 'size' => '14' ) ) ); ?></span>
does it say 14 ?
if you dont want the started by author image remove make it where its like this
<span class="bbp-topic-started-by"><?php printf( __( 'Started by: %1$s', 'bbpress' ), bbp_get_topic_author_link() ); ?></span>
tell me if that works
I’m pretty novice at this, but does this mean that I have to edit from the style sheet?
all of the images that have issues (started by, notice, freshness), are sized in the templates in php rather than css .
I know, thanks!
bbpress sidebar would be perfect!
Haven’t seen this sidebar so far. Where can I look this one up?

@robkk, I’m using a premiumpress theme. I tried again after disabling all my plugins, but the code still didn’t work.
I don’t have a bbpress custom theme either. I’m pretty novice at this, but does this mean that I have to edit from the style sheet?
@tonydes
what is your theme?? (you should link to it if you can)
what are all your plugins??
are you making a bbpress custom theme?? (did you copy the templates into your child theme??)
a work around for displaying some avatars, is copy the templates in the child theme, look for the specific call of an avatar and wrapping a class around it then include certain css for that class and image,css display:none; the rest and see if that works.
other than that it might be cdns , or it could be where you have to contact your theme developer.
Didn’t know that it is that complicated… -.-
i hate messing with your theme but ILL try to fix it.
okay Full width vs bbpress sidebar , choose one now.
what is creating this bbpress sidebar??
ILL work on getting the footer back first, but yeah its going to be some time later, so try to be patient.
i am also happy with full width (That’s the main thing), but best would be of course if the bbpress sidebar and the normal oxygen footer work!
Didn’t know that it is that complicated… -.-
dont reply on the other topic you made
pretty much just copying the same thing from this
Finding .css style file
give me a link to your site
so i can see if its a special code in your template making the avatars huge
if its a .avatar css rule making all the avatars on your site big
or if i could find something else.
I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?
thats not a good idea , it will be lost next upgrade.
@aussiestar14 so now you dont want full width anymore and you want a bbpress specific sidebar and your footer back??
Hi again Stephen,
I am importing the database now and its ticking on.
I am starting the wp/bbpress site from scratch so there is nothing there. This is a test import.
I have 3 questions:
1. I checked importing users (3 rd from end on configuration page) as want to import my users as well. Was that correct?
2. Lets say everything looks good. Can I only import the last few days on top of this then or do I need to start over again? Would like as little downtime as possible when I go live.
3. Cant figure what the 2nd from last checkbox is for “Start Again”. Is there a guide explaining all this more in detail?
Cheers
yes, we so far fixed it that the normal oxygen sidebars aren’t showing up.
Things which are missing are the new bbpress sidebar and the themes footer…
I’m hoping someone can help me with this! As I upload pictures for profiles within my theme, the avatars displayed in bbpress for ‘last updated by’ and ‘started by’ are huge. I found a code that works, but unfortunately this also gets rid of the avatar in the post which I want to keep.
.bbp-author-avatar {
display: none;
}
Can anyone please help me with this?
Thanks in advance!
As it is a premium plugin I can’t download it to have a quick look, there are also a few other bbPress issues on their forums/support site that would be worth reading also.
@Robkk Thanks for the response, but I moved the file to both locations, and edited the css but nothing worked. I used this code to resize the images:
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, #bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar {
width: 20px !important;
height: 20px !important;
}
I’m pretty sure my theme does not use a conventional style sheet so I may have to edit this in the root folder?
I switched my theme to twenty fourteen. I then deactivated bbPress. I still saw the Error 500 when trying to access zippe.biz/wp-admin.
I reactivated bbPress and switched back to the OptimziePress theme.
Thanks guys!
Robkk –
My wordpress setup is special situation. The Leaning Management System for the school I work for has it’s own version that it maintains with about 50 approved plugins (including bbpress)…I don’t have access to the FTP files unfortunately.
I was able to get most of the CSS working by copying and pasting the bbpress CSS into the custom CSS area in the WP dashboard. I shouldn’t have to do this, so I’m contacting the Learning Management System to report this possible bug.
Stephen –
You checked out the site after I had most of the CSS working. What Robkk saw was no styling at all…everything was listed with bullets like a regular < li > would be styled.
That said, your idea to create a child forum worked!
Thank you both for your help!

Hey everyone, I’ve been working on a project over the last month that was working perfectly on my local Mamp server. When I migrated the site to my clients server for testing I was disappointed to find that neither topic creation or reply posting was working.
I’ve disabled all plugins except bbPress (even though they all worked on my server), reset permalinks and I know the theme I created wasn’t a problem because it worked perfectly in dev.
I’m a little stressed at this point as this week was supposed to be for testing and final rollout and that’s all come to a screeching halt without this basic functionality.
Would really appreciate any help I can get with this.
Thanks a lot!
OK. Here is what I’ve found.
Independent of other plugins, I do not see the Error 500 when both bbPress and OptimizeMember are activated.
If only one of them is activated I see the error.
There is no need for duplicate topics a couple of hours apart.
Closing this in favor of your first topic here.
This is weird. When the only active plugin is bbPress, I see the Error 500. When I active bbPress and the other 19 plugins, I do not see the Error 500. I will experiment some more and get back to you.
My suggestion here would be to activate bbPress and try to “edit post” whatever the case may be per my previous post above (WordPress posts or bbPress topic/reply) and if you still cannot “edit” whatever it is you are trying to edit start disabling all your active plugins one by one, once you deactivate one try your ‘edit’ thing again, if it now works you know the conflicting plugin, if not disable another plugin and try again.
Also as per another previous post of mine above:
“My issue with the plugin is the ‘edit’ feature on posts doesn’t work”
Could you clarify what you mean by this, editing WordPress Posts or bbPress topics/replies?
