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!
@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.

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' );
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…?

Do you have an idea?

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
try this in the custom css area of your theme
#bbpress-forums {
margin-top: 30px !important;
}
and adjust the 30px to suit
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.
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
@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
In my case the only way I have achieved any forum styles is manually inside my themes “additional css” area. Nothing else worked.
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?
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;
}
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.
Put this in the custom css tab of style pack or your theme’s custom css area
.forum-archive div.bbp-breadcrumb {
display : none ;
}
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?
@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.
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?
Hello, I would like my forum to be set up in css and some pages code by myself. https://infomiasto.eu/forum/tematy/rozmowy/ I have a question how to do it in the sense of the template folder bbpress does not contain everything, many things appear on the forum – the description frame is after the template layout
How to do it so that you don’t lose those data when updating – because I want to remove a lot of what the forum displays, columns of voices, description frame and this type.
add this to the custom css tab of the style pack plugin
ul.bbp-forums-list {
display : none ;
}
Thanks for your quick response.
I have included this in my css file of the child theme.
# bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum .bbp-forum-title {
float: none! important;
}
Would it be a correct solution?
What is strange to me is that my theme includes this concrete for bbbress and that it breaks the site when it has always worked well.
Anyway, solved, thank you very much.

I want topic titles to match page titles—green, not orange. I am semi-clueless about coding but have tried a few ideas that don’t work.
Can someone suggest a css entry to solve this problem?
Many thanks, Anna
@robin-w, as of version 2.6.2
I am still facing these three issues – css not loading, subforums not loading, replies to topics not showing up.

@johnjamesjacoby, if it’s any help, I found these info after testing other versions of BBPress.
