hmmm… css won’t do it then.

you’ll need to amend content-archive-forum.php in your child theme

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

delete line 17

<?php bbp_get_template_part( 'form', 'search' ); ?>

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/content-archive-forum.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

[Robin W]

put this in the custom css of your theme

#bbpress-forums #bbp-search-form {
	display: none !important;
}

[Robin W]

just tried it, it is all good, you must have missed a character off somewhere, just add it to the end

You could add the below CSS to get your forums off your header and make the forums fill the page width.

You’d want to add the code to style.css file, preferably in a child theme so that when you update you don’t have to re-add the code. Or if that theme has a options panel with a area to add custom CSS.

body.bbpress .content-wrapper .content-area {
    max-width: none;
    padding: 0 7px;
}

body.bbpress .content-wrapper, 
body.bbpress.no-sidebar.page .content-wrapper {
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;

}

body.bbpress .site-content {
    padding: 30px 0;
}

Just thought I’d throw that out there as a option 🙂

[Robin W]

ok, I’d suggest you take the breadcrumb out as well – that’s the

Home › Forums › Community

So put this in your theme’s custom css area

div.bbp-breadcrumb {
	display: none !important;
}

[Robin W]

your theme has a css rule

.content-wrapper.with-featured-image {
	margin: -4.7em 0 0 120px;
	padding: 1.3em 55px 0 1.9em;
}

Basically the ‘margin: -4.7em’ bit is causing the forum to show at a minus height, thus crashing into the header.

the forums page (https://badasscrafters.com/forums/) has the rule without-featured-image so is fine.

Do you have a ‘forums’ page – ie you have a page in your site which has the shortcode

[bbp-forum-index]

[Robin W]

not certain this will work, but put this in the custom css area of your theme

#bbpress-forums ul li::before {
content : none !important ;
}

@robin-w
The reason that it is dequeued is that it was built that way by the software company that built our theme. This, I assume, was so that the forum would look like the rest of our site.
My issue, by adding the ($args) arguments (to that snippet of code) and by removing that one line of CSS has now resolved this issue completely.
Thank you!

[haddly]

@robin-w, @hydrogriff:
Hi, for me, the CSS styling issue is definitely a theme problem. In my styles.css file I have additional CSS for the styling of BBpress forum.
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {font-size: 11px;}
I simply removed this line (font-size) from my style sheet and the standard BBPress kicked in.

[haddly]

@robin-w
Hi there. I have finally found why this is not displaying. It isn’t the plugins 1 or 2 above but a snippet of code I added to my functions.php file a long while back. I remember adding it because the subforum topics weren’t displaying correctly and were displaying in a horizontal fashion (I think).

If I remove this piece of code, the subforum topics now appear. The CSS is a little funky and the text a little small, but I can fix this. Sorry for not thinking to check the added snippets to my functions.php sooner.

function custom_bbp_sub_forum_list() {
$args['separator'] = '';
return $args;
}
add_filter('bbp_after_list_forums_parse_args', 'custom_bbp_sub_forum_list' );

[Matthias]

Hi Robin,
I don’t know why, but I can not fix the css of the login widget.
Just need a white background and a litte padding, but all attempts with .bbp-form; .bbp-login-form or .sidebar-item fail…?
https://gtauscht.de/forums/

Do you have an idea?
Thanks
Matthias

Hi Clive, gyus from Divi helped me out to sort it:

add the following CSS code to Custom CSS box in Divi > theme options > general settings:

@media(max-width:980px) {
div#bbpress-forums {
overflow: visible !important;
}
}

Maybe it will help you too.
Nick

[Robin W]

try this in the custom css area of your theme

#bbpress-forums {
	margin-top: 30px !important;
}

and adjust the 30px to suit

[hydrogriff]

I am not sure if this is much of a help. Pasting this from a previous reply.

The subforums and replies were still working in 2.6-beta-1 and 2.6-beta-2.

Additional information:

• CSS stopped working since 2.6-beta-1.
• Replies to topics stopped working since 2.6-rc-1.
• Subforum display stopped working in 2.6-rc-7.

[Robin W]

It is that the name is so short that bbpress can fit it in the space

you could fix using

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author {
	width: 100px;
}

in the custom css area of your theme

[Robin W]

@nickds the issue is site/theme specific – I cant fix everyone’s theme issues !!

a quick look at your site and the forums page appears to have issues with your theme performing calculations on the css eg

.entry .entry-content > *, .entry .entry-summary > *, .entry .entry-summary > .wp-block-group > .wp-block-group__inner-container > *, .entry .entry-content > .wp-block-group > .wp-block-group__inner-container > * {
	max-width: calc(6 * (100vw / 12) - 28px);
}

Hello guys,

We have forum about fitness but after update our css is broken when you see some nicknames with avatars they are really bad positioned . Is it css issue? Some conflict with plugin? I didnt find out. This issue is only with some nicknames not all. Attaching screenshot and you can see it live here

Thank you very much for your help

[Chuckie]

In my case the only way I have achieved any forum styles is manually inside my themes “additional css” area. Nothing else worked.

[laprek]

Hello,

I have created few forums. I’m using “bbp style pack” plugin which lets me to have categories as forum title and forums with that category as parent. I need to hide few forums because I would like to display them on a different page.
Here is what I’ve tried:

ul#forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

.forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

#bbpress-forums.forums-list-9201.bbp-forums.bsp-template1{
display:none !important;
}

Any idea on what am I doing wrong?

[Robin W]

yes, that’s an issue with 2.6.x where bbpress uses a min file – they are working on a fix, but in the meantime put this in the custom css tab of the style pack plugin

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	background-color: #fdd !important;
}

[cr53]

Hi Robin, thanks for your reply.

I’ve tried using the CSS you provided in both the bbPress Style Pack Custom CSS tab and in my theme’s Custom CSS area and neither were successful at hiding the breadcrumbs on the forum home page.

When I inspect the breadcrumbs element I’m looking to hide/remove, I see that it’s labelled;

<span class="bbp-breadcrumb-current">Forums</span>

I would like to show the current breadcrumb on all further pages, however no breadcrumbs on the forum homepage.

[Robin W]

Put this in the custom css tab of style pack or your theme’s custom css area

.forum-archive div.bbp-breadcrumb {
display : none ;
}

[Editor Mike]

using chrome and the page source I see this:

<script type=”text/javascript”>
/* <![CDATA[ */
var gdbbPressToolsInit = {
quote_method: “bbcode”,
quote_wrote: “wrote”,
bbpress_version: 26,
wp_version: 53,
wp_editor: 1 };
/* ]]> */
</script>
<style type=”text/css”>
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
color: #000;
}

</style>

<style type=”text/css”>
#wpadminbar #wp-admin-bar-gdbb-toolbar .ab-icon:before {
content: “\f477”;
top: 2px;
}

@media screen and ( max-width: 782px ) {
#wpadminbar li#wp-admin-bar-gdbb-toolbar {
display: block;

Which would suggest it is there?

[hydrogriff]

@johnjamesjacoby and @robin-w, can we expect a fix for the css and subforum issue in 2.6.4? Sorry to keep bumping. I just checked 2.6.3 release log and these issues weren’t addressed.

[Chuckie]

I added some CSS styling to make the error notices stand out on my site:

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice.error {
	background: #fff !important;
	padding: 2px !important;
	border: solid 4px #000 !important;
	outline:#ff0 solid 4px !important;
	border-radius: 0px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice.error li {
	color: #000 !important;
}

I am very happy with that. It is just this issue of bbPress jumping to the top of the topic rather than the actual error notice it has created in the reply forum.

Is there a workaround for that or must it be fixed by bbPress authors?
