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

Hi again
I tried the forum-class, but it only added “text” to my forum see http://prntscr.com/i9yywx.
I have added the abpve CSS code to my theme.

Its this tag-cloud widget http://prntscr.com/i9z0m6 that I would like to show above the “forum title, if possible.

Is there something Im missing here?

[chrtravels]

Thanks much. that worked. 🙂

Is there no way to remove that element all together? Or at least if I knew which
CSS file this is formatted in, I could play around with the spacing. That text takes
up quite a bit of space at the top of the forum and pushes everything down further than
I would like.

I am pretty good as user the inspector to identify areas to change but I have a heack of a time determine which css file is involved.

Thanks again for your help!

I’ve now set up a quick test site for 2.65c5 to validate

I can confirm that

<?php echo do_shortcode("[bbp-forum-index]"); ?>

doesn’t work but the shortcode on a page on it’s own does.

However your issue with profiles is a theme/bbpress one, it all works on my test site.

Can you try adding this to your themes css

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics {
	overflow: visible !important;
	}

that seemed to fix it for your site, but I haven’t checked that it doesn’t create issues elsewhere !

[TechHaus]

And here is right after I install 2.6, babble about cryptocurrency for a bit, and then hit refresh. The forum page looked normal, then I look at the front page and notice the CSS isn’t formatting the shortcode.

(no need to watch that, but just for the sake of documenting the issue. time stamp for when i look at it at 5 minutes 2 seconds. Also sorry about curses! Don’t watch if offended by bad language. My apologies.).

Hi bbPress,

I am looking for help to make my bbPress full width, I’ve tried a bunch of CSS, tried to make a new bbPress.php template, nothing works.

Note – I am not the best coder , but I do know some stuff.

My issue (IMG)

I am trying to make it go full width, but keep that 30-50px padding on either side. Just my OCD kicks in with that stuff, lol.

bbPress Version: 2.5.14
My Theme: Socialize by GhostPool

[emiralem]

Hello Robin, Im using pixiehuge as isuzu. I changed codes like you said in pixiehuge theme (main.css) but my problem not solved yet.

Here is the my website forum http://e-sporturkiye.net

[TechHaus]

Hi Robin W. – just want to say that thank you so much for all the responses and help you give to this community. Super inspiring.

I ended up just uploading the theme and putting up a little dummy content.

The two areas of note I mention, on the front page, http://jockjams.com, you can see below the blog post that what the shortcode out put on my page isn’t styled.

However, if you dig around at http://jockjams.com/forums/ or go to http://jockjams.com/forums/topic/do-the-nets-suck/, these look ok.

Another place where there is an issue is if you go to some of the lists on the profile page:

http://jockjams.com/forums/users/bobby/topics/

That is a good example. The list is THERE, you can see it when you inspect the page. Somehow the styling (or lack of) just pushed it way off to the side.

Both of these looked right in twenty fifteen, and I know for sure the shortcode worked on bbPress 2.5.14 from wordpress plugin repository, but not on bbPress 2.6 Release Candidate 5 that I downloaded from this form.

I guess those are all of the details. I would love to know why the styling worked on twenty fifteen, yet it doesn’t work on my theme, while the other two examples above are styled correctly along with my theme and are being properly targetted by bbpress css as well for the list styling.

Thoughts?

Sorry if this is beyond the scope of this forum. I use JointsWP.com btw as my starter theme.

[TechHaus]

I also notice that my lists are really messed up when i go to my profile page, look at Topics Started, etc. (and both look fine on twenty fifteen).

So I think both of these are using the base styles from twenty fifteen for their list, whereas the lists on Forum and Topic pages are using their own CSS. This seems…not ideal and they should share similar markup, no?

I will upload after lunch to share what’s going on. But I feel like all lists in bbpress should be based off of the same styles as the Forum and Topic lists.

[Robin W]

add this to your theme’s custom css section

#bbpress-forums div.reply {
width: auto !important;
}

Bonjour @matevoun,
Il y en a qui comprennent oui 🙂

– You can open your forum to everybody, so they do not need to create a login (see the settings in your wp-admin: Réglages > Discussion
– Yes and no. The theme that you choose for WordPress is the team used for bbPress. However you can restyle the CSS yourself or use a plugin like https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/
– Everything is saved in the standard WordPress style: so like a custom post type
– bbPress is a plugin, so just install it and you will see it pop up in your menu: Forums, Topics, replies.

Pascal.
PS: 2/3 questions? J’en vois 4… :-p

I currently am using this:

https://kristarella.blog/2013/04/bbpress-forum-icons/

But for speed and looks, I’m trying to use a “font awesome” icon for the forum icon.

My plan was to use some css for each forum, and then style the font icons individually.

I started off with this in stylesheet, but it’s not working:

ul#bbp-forum-9:before {
	font-family: FontAwesome;
	content: '\f058';
	color: #6190C3;
	font-size: 30px;
	padding-right: 10px;
	margin-left: -15px;
	position: absolute;
 	left: -13px;
	margin-top: 1px;
 }

I’ve tried several variations with no luck.

Any suggestions on how to get this css to work properly?

Thanks for any tips.

[Robin W]

this css should work

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
	max-width: 100%;
	display: block;
	margin-left: auto;
	margin-right: auto;
}

presume your theme has a custom css area you can put this in ?

[kdelsimone]

Try adding this to your custom css:

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic li.bbp-body div.topic {
background-color: #ffe;
border: 1px solid #dd6;
}

and this to your functions.php:

function custom_bbp_show_lead_topic( $show_lead ) {
  $show_lead[] = 'true';
  return $show_lead;
}

add_filter('bbp_show_lead_topic', 'custom_bbp_show_lead_topic' );

[bstephenmitchell]

Hi all – I am not having any luck getting my forums page to work full width. Have tried all sorts of css and function.php and nope – no luck.

See the forums page here:

https://hopevisionaction.org/forums/

… and any help would be very much appreciated.

Using 2017 default theme. Also using BuddyPress now.

Thanks.

[Robin W]

is your forum public? If so post a link and I’ll see if a simple css change is needed

[jasonbxyz]

Hello,

I have a new bbpress site with buddypress integrated (bbpress was installed and set up first.) Admins can see all forums, Participants cannot see Hidden forums, unless it is associated with a buddypress group of which they are a member. The site is jingfangacademy.com
Fixes I have tried:

1. Deactivated all plugins one by one.
2. Tried other themes: 2013, 2015, 2016
3. Tools > Forums > ran all tools
4. Changed user role permissions with third-party plugins: User Role Editor, Members
5. WP and all plugins up to date.

I’ve added no CSS to the site. I’m a novice and I don’t own the hosting account, so I’m hoping to fix this without adding code. I’ve tried all the fixes I could find in related threads.

Thanks for any help!

Hi @brent0r
I made the following adjustment in my child-theme´s loop-single-forum.php and styled with CSS.
This code will place all elements in the right order to have simple CSS adjustments make it all work as expected.

<?php

/**
 * Forums Loop - Single Forum
 *
 * @package bbPress
 * Theme OrganicSquare
 * Child-theme of TwentySixteen
 */

?>

<ul id="bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>" <?php bbp_forum_class(); ?>>

<li class="bbp-forum-info">
	<div class="forumtitle">
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_title' ); ?>

		<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php bbp_forum_title(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_title' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<div class="bbp-forum-content"><?php bbp_forum_content(); ?></div>
		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_sub_forums' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_description' ); ?>

		<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_description' ); ?>

		<?php bbp_forum_row_actions(); ?></div>
	</li>

<li class="bbp-forum-topic-count">
		<div class="topic-reply-counts">Topics: <span class="ismcounter"><?php bbp_forum_topic_count(); ?></span></div>
		<div class="topic-reply-counts">Posts: <span class="ismcounter"><?php bbp_show_lead_topic() ? bbp_forum_reply_count() : bbp_forum_post_count(); ?></span></div>
	</li>

<li class="bbp-topic-freshness mob-hide-link-forum">
	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>

	<div class="freshness-author"><span class="fresh-avatar"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'avatar', 'size' => '40' ) ); ?></span>

	<div class="fresh"><h2><a href=" <?php bbp_forum_last_reply_url(); ?>" class="forumpostlink"><?php bbp_forum_last_reply_title(); ?></a></h2>
	<span class="forumlist-name"><?php bbp_author_link( array( 'post_id' => bbp_get_forum_last_active_id(), 'type' => 'name' ) ); ?></span>
	<span class="widgetlistdate"><?php bbp_forum_freshness_link(); ?></span></div>
	<?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_after_forum_freshness_link' ); ?>
	</div>
</li>

</ul><!-- #bbp-forum-<?php bbp_forum_id(); ?> -->

[Robin W]

Line 4255 of your theme Pixiehuge has

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
	height: 100%;
	display: flex;
	display: -webkit-flex;
	flex-direction: column;
	-webkit-flex-direction: column;
	justify-content: center;
	-webkit-justify-content: center;
}

The height : 100% is the issue

You need to put

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
	height: auto;
}

or

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum li {
	height: auto !important;
}

(Try without the !important first)

into your theme’s custom css, or the custom css part of my bbp style pack plugin

[Robin W]

it’s caused by

#bbpress-forums .reply {
  margin-left: 0 !important;
  width: auto !important;
}

which says it is inline code.

The width: auto !important needs to be width :100% !important.

Auto makes it only as wide as it needs to be, so for short sentences it truncates.

But I’m also getting an error saying that your “sydney-child-theme/style.css could not be loaded”

[Audiomonk]

I’ve looked in here, I’ve looked on the net. I tried all suggestions for CSS, and the threading is disabled in the settings. Yet the replies on the forum are indented.

Link vs. Add

It looks horrible, please how do I turn it off. I use the Sydney theme.

[posemotion]

I finally figured it out. No need to use the “Full Page Width” option or any other techniques found about the web. If you installed a bbPress forum and everything is set to its defaults. Just use the following…

Select “Customize”
Select “Additional CSS”
Add/Paste the following…

.bbpress #content-sidebar {      
display: none;
}

#bbpress-forums {
  margin-left: auto !important;
  margin-right: auto !important;
  width: 170% !important;
}

Forum link in first post is incorrect now. A redirect is being setup though as that is my old link to another forum I use to use. New forum link is, http://www.posemotion.com/forums

[Robin W]

hmm, not suer why your bbpress.css file is in wp-content/plugins/templates rather than wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates – have you altered this?

In essence you want to set

.bbp-reply-author width :100% ;
.bbp-reply-content margin : 0px;

This will force the content to the next line, and move it to the start of that line.

I’d also add

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
position: relative;
}

so you’d end up with (untested)

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

.bbp-reply-author  {
width :100% ;
}
.bbp-reply-content {
margin : 0px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author img.avatar {
	position: relative;
	}

}

Hi all, I have been playing on and off with WordPress, BBPress and Buddypress, mostly to build my own company website.

I have almost completed my quest to make BBpress as functional and user friendly as any other major, paid for, forum software offers, and I think I have even improved to my own preference and proven that BBpress is capable to be better then any commercial package.

Please review my website, I have a demo account as you need to be logged in for all the plugins and hacks to be visible.

I have added quite a few plugins and function snippets, I do not know how to code php or javascript, just basic html and css for the rest I cut and paste until it works, although I do understand what I am looking at with php after 4 years of cut-and-paste…lol
