it is theme related

the non forum pages have

.social-navigation a {
	border-radius: 40px;
	display: inline-block;
	height: 40px;
	margin: 0 1em 0.5em 0;
	text-align: center;
	width: 40px;
}

the forum pages have an additional css class of .no-svg

.no-svg .social-navigation a {
	height: auto;
	width: auto;
}

this needs removing, but I cannot say what you need to do to remove it – maybe a page thing

Apparently we’re not the only ones. See Child CSS

I noticed once I got my 2.6.1 working that all the font size is tiny, when I made my theme I used some custom css to re-size the font way before I moved to 2.6.1, I also found this thread

Upgrade to 2.6.1 No Longer Loads Custom CSS

But no replies, did custom css/themes change?

The default font size if for ants.

Hi Guys

I tried updating from 2.5.14 to 2.6.1 and after the update my forum was no longer loading my custom css file that lives in /wp-content/themes/theme_child/css/bbpress.css and the forum lost all my custom styling.

Any idea why it appears to be ignoring that css file now?

[Clivesmith]

I am sorry to ask this now as I know you are busy with a great update but I do have a bit of a problem.

I managed to sort most of it out with the old version but am struggling with the new update.

What I did was remove from the header on the replies page all the headings except “author” and change the “posts” to text I want with some formatting.

in my childtheme style.css
I included this to remove most of the headings from everywhere.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.topic {
border-top: 3px solid #0a9ed3;
overflow: hidden;
padding: 8px;
}

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-forum-freshness {
display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-freshness, li.bbp-topic-freshness {
display: none;
}

li.bbp-forum-info, li.bbp-topic-title { width:100%; }

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
display: none;
}
li.bbp-forum-reply-count, li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
display: none;
}
li.bbp-topic-title { width:100%; }

li.bbp-topic-voice-count, li.bbp-topic-voice-count {
display: none;
}

li.bbp-topic-reply-count, li.bbp-topic-reply-count {
display: none;
}

I know this next bit was a dirty way to do it but…
in wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/loop-replies.php
I changed line 24 from
<?php _e( ‘Posts’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>
to
<?php _e( ‘<div align=”center” style =”color:#ff0000″>Please check out all the replies below,<br> if you find a post helpful please vote using the arrows</div>’, ‘bbpress’ ); ?>

which put in my text in red centered with a carriage return in the middle.

If I do the same now, I cannot put formatting in. But also I realized that the “author” label is not needed, in fact it looks totally wrong with a mobile.
You can see what I mean if you look at this page https://wateratairports.com/topic/london-gatwick-lgw/ with both a large screen and a mobile
Could someone help please ?

Hello

I try to change the font-family in the frontend visual editor of bbpress.

I’m able to style the buttons and the frame around the editor. But since the content is in a iframe, I’m not able to style it with normal css. How to style the content of this inframe? Where can I style #tinymce.

The backend editor styling is working with editor-style.css.

In tried the following: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/styling-the-visual-editor/ Not working.

Any idea?

[John James Jacoby]

Before these recent plugin updates, it showed the subforums in a vertical list

This will require some CSS for you to get back. The markup used for separating subforums went back and forth for a little while, and we ultimately settled on something simpler.

/* Remove comma */
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list .bbp-forum.css-sep:not(:last-child)::after {
    content: '';
}

/* Make vertical */
#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list .bbp-forum {
    display: block;
}

it only displays for 1 of them

I see now what you mean. It’s fixed, but not completely. Thanks. Will look into this also!

[scmsteve]

2.6.1 installed and everything is great! Thanks for your dedication and hard work, it is wonderful to see 2.6 available for everyone as an official release. The only other change we had to make (not to confuse this topic) was to undo the changes we made before for when the sub-forum list was changed from li to spans, seems they are now back as li elements, but it was easy to fix the CSS. Everything looks great from what I can see right now.

[John James Jacoby]

Subforums are not listed.

The subforums not being listed will be fixed in 2.6.1.

A few more questions:

• Using any caching plugins?
• Using any SEO plugins that might be interacting with CSS files?
• Using a right-to-left language?
• Overriding any constants? (WP_CONTENT_DIR, WP_PLUGIN_DIR, WP_THEME_DIR, etc…)

Anything else about your WordPress installations you can share?

The only related change I can find, is: https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/3012

If you’re able to edit that file in bbPress directly, and revert it back, and test, that would be super helpful to confirm or disconfirm if that does it.

[hydrogriff]

Hi JJJ,

Renaming to bbpress.min.css brings the style back. Yes, the bbpress.css is inside a subdirectory css.

Also, the subforum is not appearing. And I see two favorite and subscribe elements in the topic page now.

[Adunakhor]

After updated to bbPress plugin update 2.6.0, I am experiencing an error on my forum home login page where the table html is showing up on the page, instead of the actual text and link. See the link here:
image of error

Note that to get the forum formatting I wanted, I am also using several related plugins including:
bbPress Notify (No-Spam) version 2.5.6
bbp style pack version 4.3.2
bbPress WP Tweaks version 1.4.3

It is possible that the update is interfering with one of the other plugins, or vice versa. Any suggestions on how I can remedy this, or edit it to remove the table, would be appreciated. Thanks.

[raydelvec]

Same problem. I changed the CSS on my forum about a year ago, uploading the custom styles to Active Theme > css > bbpress.css

Then upon this latest update, they all reverted back.

It is fixed when you copy/paste the CSS code from that file into either main style.css or the Appearance > Customize > Additional CSS

I also use Autoptimize which wraps the bbpress.css code into one file.

I would like to know what’s causing the issue even though this is a workaround.

[hydrogriff]

@johnjamesjacoby, I can confirm this as well. The following things are broken for me.

• Child CSS won’t load.
• Subforums are not listed.

Love the moderation features though. But still I have to rollback to earlier version to have a functioning forum. What happened this time? Usually production releases come out well-tested by the bbPress team. This is a bit disappointing.

[Clivesmith]

I have just downloaded site and I am running it on desktopserver, I get the same problem when I update it.
I have tried taking out the functions.php and the style.css from my child theme but the sub forums are still missing on the home page.

[oguruma]

I want to use the [bbp-topic-index] shortcode, however I really want to filter by A) Public Forums, and/or B) certain forums.

When you use the topic-index shortcode, it spits out topics regardless of the forum. The problem with this is that I use BuddyPress and there are groups with private forms. I don’t want the topic-index shortcode to display these private forums.

Now, I could use the [bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] shortcode. The problem with this, however, is that it will display ALL of the topics for that forum. Now, I COULD hide everything after the first 15 or so topics with CSS, but this is a pretty terrible solution because 1) a boatload of topics are still going to (unnecessarily) be part of the HTML markup and widespread use of display:none is bad for SEO.

Any ideas?

[demonboy]

Hi Robin,

Using your prompt I hacked something that removes the action altogether and just uses the if statement. On the loop-single-forum.php file I started with this:

<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id(); 
    if (( $forum_id == 40250) ){
?>
     <li class="bbp-forum-info-40250">  
<?php
    }

else {?>
	<li class="bbp-forum-info">
<?php
}?>

where I set the CSS selector ‘bbp-forum-info-40250’ width to 100%. At the end of the template I then added this:

<?php $forum_id = bbp_get_forum_id(); 
    if (( $forum_id == 40250) ){
?>
       
<?php
    }

else {?>	
	<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count"><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></li>
        rest of the normal template follows
	</li>
<?php
}?>

where nothing appears for forum id 40250 and the rest of the template displays as normal for all other forums. So now my first forum description is 100% width without topic counts/views/freshness, whilst the rest of the forums display as normal.

If interested you can see the result here.

[Chuckie]

My forums have in places white text. As a result, when I close a topic I can no longer read the information.

I am used to closed topics simply meaning they can’t accept replies. Ie, they are locked.

Look here for an example:

General

How can I use CSS to get rid of that highlighting?

[demonboy]

Hi,

Strange request but I would like to hide a forum completely when the user is logged in. This is because I’m using this forum as an info page for new visitors. Once a user is registered and logged in, they don’t need to see the forum, so I’d like to remove the entire < ul >. I’m hoping this is a simple addition to my functions.php file, something along the lines of:

if ( bbp_is_user_logged_in() ) {
   echo "<some css that did ul.bbp-forum-40250 {display:none;}
}

Except I know that’s probably not the best way to achieve this. What would be the best way to hide the forum to logged in users?

Thanks.

I am using the bbpress [forum] plugin.
I do not want to use it in its default state. I want to have it maintain my site’s design.
According to what I have read [HERE; https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/ ]

to do so requires me to copy both the bbpress and the css directories
from the default folder and paste it or upload
it into the ‘theme’ directory/ folder.

Thing is I am not quite sure if I ought to paste them [ bbpress & css directories] into the wp-config.php folder
& if so where [in the wp-config.php folder] ? Is it Before or after the present info I see there now?

[yaragad]

Ok, done with the css bbp-forum-info class by increasing the %.

Thanks, this is closed then.

Love this plugin.

[yaragad]

Sorry, this works for the columns inside the forum (for threads) but I still see Voices and Replies in the main forums screen.

I included it at the end of my style.css of my WP theme. Is this correct?

[fantomx90]

Hello,

I am using the bbPress forums currently, and whenever we create a topic it is this grayed out color… We did find a custom CSS code to use, and it DOES work for Closed topics, but all others it still stays grayed out. What can we do to fix this?

Also, whenever someone is typing a reply it still displays in this awful gray color. How would I change the default color of the text being used in our forum?

(For reference, here is the code we used for black Closed topics:)
#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
color: #000 !important;
}

(And yes, we did try just switching closed with open in the coding lol.)

Thank you.

[cosmicnexus]

The header on the bbPress forum list and topics pages has an appropriate black background with white text in Chrome for large screens. However, in Firefox and Edge and also even in Chrome on mobile, the background is light grey with white text and of course text is hard to read.

I’ve tried targeting this with css but none of the selectors I’ve tried have worked. If anyone can supply a selector that will work I’d be mighty grateful!

The forum page is on a dev site I’m working on here:

[Robin W]

you theme seems to be hiding much of this in css eg

.gp-theme .gp-forum-home .bbp-forum-topic-count, .gp-theme .gp-forum-home .bbp-forum-freshness {
	display: none;
}

suggest you contact theme author or switch themes
