add this to the custom css part of your theme settings

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
	color: #12526f !important;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a {
	color: #12526f !important;

Hello, I have set up bbPRess forums on my website (albeit very simple ones). As they are currently built they are all just listed in 7 straight topics and it looks very bland and boring.

I would like to be able to add some category headings however, or at the very least break them up into different sections. I am not very technical as far as HTML or CSS coding… but I Figured if there is going to be a way that’s how its going to happen.

To clarify, I kind of want them broken up like a PHPBB bulletin, but I do like the functionality and ease of use of the bbpress forums.

Is there any SIMPLE way to do this, or at least a bbpress expert I could pay that could probably knock this out in an hour (or less)?

Thank you in advance.

Hi, please visit this site. https://www.csshero.org/customize-enhance-bbpress-forum-easily/
I hope it can help you.

This is because your theme or a plugin is adding the bootstrap library, and also adding the ‘.card’ css class to the forum display, and this has a bad effect.

It could be a theme or plugin issue

Themes

As a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.

Plugins

If that doesn’t work, also deactivate all plugins apart from bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Then come back

Hi,

Over the past few weeks I’ve been customizing bbress to my liking using the live css editor in wordpress.
I tried moving it all to a stylesheet within my child theme in a folder called css.
I’ve named the file bbpress.css.

Everything was working fine in the wordpress editor, but after moving it to bbpress.css a lot of things no longer work.
Even when I try !important, a lot of things still don’t to work.

I should note that some of the code does work which is why this confuses me.
Any suggestions?

I can see, the theme renders before the forums.

you basically need to get your theme to render that page not using the .ast-col-md-6 css.

I can only suggest you refer to your theme support on how to do this

When I add this CSS code then my website another archive page(Category page) is also affecting, e.g., https://staging.keeptaxisalive.org/category/blogs/

I don’t want to affect all the archive. Only forum page should be auto width only.

Thank you!

Forum Index (does same thing when using shortcodes), Child Forum, and Topics:

After upgrading to 2.6 RC 7, and doing forum repairs, I lost the header, categories and formatting for my forum index and child forums. The topics work just fine still.

To troubleshoot, I deactivated all plugins, removed bbPress, activated the default 17 theme, and removed my primary theme. If I re-install/activate bbpress, the index and children headers then show up, albeit without the default styling.

So I reinstalled my theme (which has native bbpress/buddypress support built in), re-activated bbpress, and the headers/categories/formatting disappeared again.

I wanted to think it was a css issue, but I had re-installed everything fresh. So it appears something corrupted my database, tied specifically to my theme. Any recommendations for how to “fix” the repairs and undo the damage?

For the life of me I cannot figure out how to fix this without a wholesale home home directory and sql db restoral. But I’d lose WEEKS of edits and css customization. Ughh

Thank you in advance!!

Hello and thanks in advance for the help. I am new to bbpress.

I have been looking for a way to arrange my bbpress page to look like the https://bbpress.org/forums/

With a short description of each forum on the left hand column and the list of recent topics on the right.

Is this done with shortcodes or css or will it require development? if it is shortcodes, can someone share them with me?

Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, your theme/caching is now doing this

https://www.myplaystation.nl/wp-content/cache/fvm/1559213822/out/header-de476267.min.css

you might need to clear cache to get style pack to take or put this in custom css

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	color: #000 !important;
}

[Robin W]

try this in your theme custom css area

li.bbp-forum-topic-count, {
	width: 12% !important;
}

In all the post of the forum in general

I mean when someone uploads an image, automatically reduce the size of the youtube video embed content.

For the images, I used this CSS code and works fine

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img {
max-width: 500px;
max-height:450px;
height: auto;
}

But for the videos embed I still have the problem

Where do I change the css for the color of the text (or the background)

As is, it’s impossible to see the text you are writing on the input fields.

Is there a simple solution to force the site to ignore bbpress fonts and sizes?

I want bbpress to respect and use the default font and size of the theme.

Preferably in a form of few lines to be added to custom css of the active theme? I would prefer no to create child-theme (I’m using Neve) and definitely do not want to install additional plugins.

My forum: ibf.lv

I have made my forum as light as possible + made it full width and the 1st thing that can’t be ignored are different sizes and font of the forum 🙁

Thank you 🙂
Helmuts

There are a few ways you might tackle this, but custom CSS is often a nice way to go, both because it’s “safer” than custom PHP and because you can easily tweak it to achieve a better fit. Plus, most themes make this really easy: simply navigate to Appearance ‣ Customize ‣ Additional CSS and add your code 🙂

/* Remove the titlebar area on forum archive pages */
.bbpress.forum-archive #page-titlebar {
  display: none;
}

/* Retain some whitespace for consistency with other pages */
.bbpress.forum-archive #site-content {
  margin-top: 75px;
}

In this case, perhaps some rules like I’ve listed above could be a nice starting point?

You have been kind enough to send me the SCC snippets so that I have been able to change texts in forum records.
However, I need help with more detailed texts.
So I wonder if you can now send me the CSS snippets that apply to the texts I marked in the attached image?

Hello
I am trying to remove the ability to comment on top level forum topics.
For some reason the remove plugins and no comment options already set in do not seem to be working and I have tried css type removal options without success.

The way I set setup the forum is using top level board titles with sub-titles within each one and I only want users to be able to comment within sub-level boards not the top level title boards.

Can anyone please help with suggestions.

I have currently installed the closest plugin I have found to editing a page using css, scripts called “Post/Page specific custom CSS” but same as others nothing I place inside these seems to be working.

I have tried editing the page under FORUMS tab in admin but no styling options there.

Wordpress version:5.1.1
bbPress version: 2.5.14

Question #1:

Here’s the page I’m looking at: http://www.toledonaturalist.org/forums/

I cannot figure out how to center the forum information on the page. I created this “forums” page and simply pasted in this shortcode: [bbp-forum-index]

At first I thought there was an invisible sidebar. Nope, it does not appear that there are any active sidebars. Perhaps I could fiddle around with the template? Nope, doesn’t seem to impact anything. I could try centering the shortcode with CSS? Nope, this didn’t work either, although I don’t know much about CSS, so I easily could have just typed it in wrong.

The weird thing is that all of the children pages are centered. It’s just this page that is having issues.

Question #2)
Here is the page I am looking at:
http://www.toledonaturalist.org/login/?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.toledonaturalist.org%2F

This is so bizarre! The login works great, but I don’t even have a login page on my list of “pages.” I want to change the header image and the redirection after login, but I have no idea where bbpress is getting this page. Without knowing where it is, I cannot reset the redirection after login (I want it to go to the very first link in this post) or change the header image.

Let me know what you think!

Hello everyone,,
I admit I am a “newbie” and am having a bundle of problems. I am in the process of building a website which is still offline, and am very stuck. I am using ocean wp and I don’t know how to find out the version, but everything is new in the last 2 weeks.. sorry I really am a newbie…
I am making “TheAmericanQuarterHorse.com” and wanted to make a small forum page alongside of information pages, I had to do a whole pile of deleting and rebuilding on the forum site, but now I have the basic structure!! So that is a plus, but am stuck on the login–register-lost password widget. The first time I made it, it put the menu all over the place and the login was on every page. Iwas using bbpress tweaks, so uninstalled the bbpress tweaks, and ended up re-installing. I watched a whole pile of youtube on how to do it, and went back at it. I did all the “making the page” and putting the permalinks in the widget slot in the bbpress side bar. This time I had logins on every page BUT THE FORUM PAGE!!! This is the 3rd time I have deleted everything and started over.. I am about to forget the whole thing or use a different forum widget. I am STUCK. Any ideas??
The other thing is the text is sooo thin and tiny on the forum page it is hard to see. I have heard something about css, but have no clue about what that is or how to use it..
Would really appreciate any ideas..
thanks
