Yes, but people frequently forget to use the code tags for the code in their posts, leading to why I would like the whole post to be overflow: auto
.
ok. Played around with the code a little bit. Have a few questions.
With this div tag structure this is referring to the overall structure spanning the multiple php files in the template folder?
Do I need to include the div ids for header, sidebar, content, footer whenever they are called in the templates php files?
I assume that the child element reference is that I should have all my div header, div sidebar and div footers closed when those sections end.
Since there are a handful of php files in the template can you explain how I know which to add?
If you couldn’t tell I’m pretty confused! Really appreciating the help.
You need to change the permissions of the avatars folder I think.
http://faq.wordpress.net/view.php?p=54
The avatars cross the next poster’s names because they’re that’s how the CSS is set up. You could change the HTML and CSS structure, or if that’s perhaps too much you could open kakumei’s style.css, find #thread li { ... }
and add this to it:
min-height: 120px;
That should make sure the post box is big enough that the next post box doesn’t interfere with the avatar. Change the number if you want it differently.
Sam my friend,
Is this on the theme header or somewhere else, because my bbpress theme header is actually one line of code, everytime I try to change it messes up the installation. When I get home I’ll post the few letters my header has. Thanks.
I meant the post the whole header file. Place the code between backticks to show it properly here.
Does anyone here have any old version they can share?
my friend tod me that the older version works better than th new one.
I think the usual problem is because it sets a cookie for the wrong domain. Are you running a local copy on xampp or the like? You will need to add this to your config.php
if you are.
$bb->cookiedomain = '';
$bb->cookiepath = '/forums/';
Cookiedomain should be blank, and cookiepath should obviously be the folder your forums are in (so you should change that value).
Your HTML has improved. This is your current structure of major div elements:
div id="wrap"
div header [1]
div header [2]
div wrap [x]
div right
div sidebar
div content
div hottags
div discussions
div footer
You have two div elements with id wrap
. IDs should always be unique, and the second one, marked with [x]
, is empty anyway so you can go ahead and delete it. You also have duplicate header
s. The content of header [2]
should be the only thing in header [1]
. Div sidebar
should be at the same level as div header
is, not a child element. You can also delete the div right
, as it’s kind of pointless.
Div footer
should not be in content
. It should be on the same level, not as a child. That should fix some problems with it, too. You can take out both float: left;
and display: inline;
in the CSS file for div content
– they seem to cancel each other out, and float
ing it is unnecessary anyway and could come back to bite you later.
Your main problems in IE seem to be (seem, I don’t have dev tools for it) that major wrap
is not centered and that content
is just wide enough to conflict with sidebar
. Slowly decrement the width of content
and test if that makes it work. I am surprised it’s not centered in IE7, I’m fairly sure that the CSS margin: 0 auto;
worked. However, to center it in IE6, you need to add the text-align: center;
property to the wrap
element (in CSS). To counter the effect this has on text, you need to add text-align: left;
to header
, sidebar
and content
.
When logged in, the div
class post
at the very bottom of the sidebar is not closed. You can just get rid of it I think. You are also using li
elements for your Private Message Manager and Community Forum links, without actually having opened a ul
or ol
for them, which would probably cause problems so just remove the li
tags.
That’s a start, anyway. Try it and we’ll see if it’s fixed anything.
It seems to have been played around with in the past, the upshot being that code is overflow: auto. Good solution in my opinion, much more convenient for reading code, anyway.

Same Problem with me – No luck at all. i am using both FF and IE.
I tried everything about this issue and still i can not log in. dunno what the problem is. it does not show anything – if i try to login – it puts me back to then login page. Need help pls.
I am sorry if this has already been posted, but I seem to not be able to find the exact answer to my question.
Question: I want to make my bbPress forum completely private so that no one can see the post of anything like that UNLESS that register AND I also want it so that I have to approve a user before they can view and use the forum. So that everything displayed on the forum if completely private.
Answer: I have the answer to the first question (http://bbpress.org/plugins/topic/34?replies=1) but I need the answer to the second and I want to make sure that is will work with making the forum complete private (the first question).
Thank you.
In the bbPress forums stylesheet (in the custom theme for bbPress.org, not the default theme), you have this:
.post {
overflow: hidden;
}
Can I request that you change the value to auto
, to make it heaps easier to read users’ code postings (as they frequently overflow)?
.post {
overflow: auto;
}
#1: There are no style rules to tell the forum to go into the column. It’s just made of unstyled divs inside the body element. I don’t know how comfortable you are with HTML, but they should go inside the div with id wrap. That would really fix the greatest issue. You don’t need CSS to do that, since the wrap
element would already do that (and the forum could actually be next to the sidebar).
#2: Please create a test account for us to see the HTML that’s causing a problem, or log in and copy the HTML to a pastebin and link to it here. My clue would be that there’s something wrong with the HTML, by the way. Is this an IE7 exclusive problem?
Exactly the same problem? You’re hosted at GoDaddy, and IE will not download rewrite-rules.php? For this problem there is no guide, but it can probably be solved without an expensive programmer 
Saboy, have you tried getting around the IE problem by using a plugin that adds a menu page to bb-admin and include
ing rewrite-rules.php to output the code there instead? Worth a try.
If they are, install this plugin, mark yourself and anyone else as 0 in the bozo field and update the profiles. That should fix it.
I know its been asked. Yes I have searched. Have everything integrated besides the positioning.

Problem 1: My forum loads on the left of the screen, below sidebar and above the header.
Tried changing the position of the get_header to the end of the files in bbpress, that only created sidebar problems.
Am I missing something simple? I assume that I need to modify the CSS file for displaying the content to make it reference the correct location. I tried using an absolute tag but that creates problems for people with different screen sizes. Any recommendations on the CSS code to use?
Anyone have an idea of what to do? I’m loading the sidebar at the beginning instead of the end of bbpress php files.
By the way I’m having the config for bbpress call the wp-get-header. Inserted the relevant bbpress styling into my wpmu themes stylesheet.
Problem 2: On IE 7 part of my sidebar loads in the area where I want the forum to go. I believe it thinks that the sidebar is ending, some div work fixed it for the wpmu part of the site.
I have a login form that loads different information (control panel) once a user logs in. the problem only occurs when a user is logged in. If anyone has a clue I’d appreciate it.
Thanks

Make sure you aren’t inserting the html inside a block of PHP. Can you post the code here for better analysis?
Per the readme, the template’s search.php must be modified to show post results. How, it doesn’t quite say, though I suspect that if I actually looked at search.php it’d be fairly obvious.
Yeah, when I looked at the source code I noticed that "
‘s were being used instead of "
‘s only on the checkbox and value attributes.
Don’t worry about it 
My template-functions might be different, but at a guess that fixes the HTML for people to checkbox if a user is a bozo or not? Problem was that different quotation marks were being used inconsistently, right?
I don’t know if people are still having this problem, but the same thing happened to me and I used a simple hack to fix it. So for anyone who wants a solution, here goes:
Open the ‘bb-includes/template-functions.php’ file
Go to line 1228 where it reads: echo attribute_escape( $label[2] );
Replace it with: echo str_replace('"','"',attribute_escape( $label[2] ));
The problem I found was that it was using "‘s instead of “‘s for some unexplainable reason, so I just used a simple str_replace() function to solve the problem. I hope this helps some people, I know the last post was 3 months ago.

Place zh_CN.mo into bb-includes/languages directory (you may have to create the languages directory yourself), and edit define('BBLANG', '');
to define('BBLANG', 'zh_CN');
in config.php.
Ha, that was too simple! It’s the akismet.php file but no error code. The server alaways has returned an error code in the past, just not on this.
Thanks!
