You can just hide it using below custom CSS code on your site as described here http://freewptp.com/how-to-use-custom-css-in-wordpress-site/

#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form label[for="bbp_anonymous_website"],
#bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form #bbp_anonymous_website {
    display:none;
}

Or you can overwrite following bbPress template file in your child theme and remove website field code from it.

/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-anonymous.php

Hi

In the French version of bbpress (the latest version), I want to change the header “Participants” (it’s “Voices” in the English version) to “Voix”. Could someone tell me how to do that please ?

Now, I’ve spend a lot of time researching and trying different things from CSS to PHP and I’ve gone back removed all the changes because nothing has worked so far. And I wanted to get things ready for any suggestions you guys might be able to supply. I am using DIVI 3 theme and builder.

For info, I have removed the side bar from the forum, and that is the only customization of bbpress I’ve left in place. I used custom CSS i found on this forum.

I’d appreciate knowing what to change and were to change it. I’m a beginner so I’d need fairly basic instructions, but I know where to put CSS into the Divi theme, and I know how to go into the PHP and how to create a child theme.

thanks in advance
best regards
SP

After reading many forums, and trying many other themes, I found that all stock wordpress themes, had no issue with the right margin on bbpress content (and the submit button) from being cut off. Disabling all plugins also made no difference. So I went back to WooThemes and had another chat with a tech, and I explained all this to them. Nicole immediately knew what the problem was. I added the following to Canvas > Settings > Custom CSS:

/* ADDED FOR BBPRESS COMPATIBILITY */
fieldset { width: auto; }

Wallah!! That did it.

I asked her to please put this in the next WooThemes Canvas update, so others don’t have to spend days figuring this out.

I’ve got bbp style pack already. Some things don’t work and it might be the fault of my host because I had another issue that was caused by my host. When entering a forum, “Create new topic” appears automatically. I would like to remove the automatic “Create new topic” message and create a “create new topic” button. bbp style pack makes the button but won’t remove the automatic message. Can anyone suggest another plugin that will let me do this?

Also, in some of my forums I would like to rename the button from “Create new topic” to something else but only in some of the forums. I’ve been told this can be done with CSS. Can anyone give me the code for this? Thanks.

Hey everyone,
I would like to remove the “Forums” tab from the profile menu, but don’t know how to do it.
I tried the css method and the PHP method.
NOTE: I’m using both BBPress and Buddypress, but the tab is generated by BBPress.

[locutus1]

Hi. I have 2 main forums both with sub-forums. If I go into any forum I see “create new topic” which is the default. That’s fine for the first main forum but I would like to change it for the 2nd main forum. I want all the sub-forums of the 2nd main forum to display something else instead of “Create new topic”. Is that possible? I’m guessing this might be possible with CSS. I’m dealing with many forums so do I have to specify every forum one by one or is there one command that can be applied to the 2nd main forum and it would impact every sub-forum? Thanks.

Hi,

I am very new to BBpress and any coding of anything. But I have edited wordpress through trial and error.

How do I start editing changing bbpress font easily? is there a plugin I can add? Please speak in simple terms – I have looked at the guides, but they are way too complex for me – and information overload.

I just want to play with the way the forum looks – and major part of it for me is font size and font type.

Please help.

[enacta2]

@robin-w I applied your CSS code for root and forum and it works well. But the top part of the box is missing. I tried to ‘fix’ the button so it’s whole, but I’m unable. I tried many different CSS lines, including the following, and none worked.

Can you please tell me how to make the button so it’s complete?

I don’t have a live site with bbPress. It’s only on my localhost mirror for now, until I get it all setup the way I want.

1) Topic Type and Topic Status are only viewable to you/forum admins (aka keymasters), regular users do not see them

2) Wherever you add custom CSS (probably ‘Appearance > Customize’ in the admin menu’s), add this:

.bbp-forum-title {
  font-size: 18px; /* make this size whatever you prefer */
}

3) This functionality isn’t built in to bbpress but you could add another plugin to make this happen. Here is an old topic that might provide some suggestions for you: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/rating-and-sorting-plugin/

Hope that helps

[Robin W]

may be theme rather than plugin related, but try

bbp style pack

to do styling

can’t see the forum (get no topics), but you can fix the sidebar with

#sidebar .bbp-login-form label {
  width: 100%;
}

you can put this into the custom css part of your theme or in the custom css of the plugin above

[blueshiningstar]

Thank you Robin !

I tried to reload the css, but no change.

I tried to change other settings:
Forums index styling is working. I changed the size of “3. Forum Headings Font”.

“Topic/Reply Styling – 5. Topic/Reply Date Font” doesn’t work.

So,“Topic/Reply Styling” doesn’t work.

I doubt below plugin.
“bbPress – Sort topic replies1.0.3”

[ourwritesorg]

Hi, I’m having an issue where post replies are going the full width of the screen. I can’t find what I should edit in which CSS file to fix this. Could anyone point me in the right direction?

Here’s an example: http://www.ourwrites.org/forums/topic/the-honest-act-2017/

Thanks!

[Robin W]

ok, try

enable the root breadcrumb in

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs

so that you’ve disabled breadcrumb home and breadcrumb current

Then in custom css have

.bbp-breadcrumb-root::before {

content: "Back to ";

}

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

[Robin W]

simplest way is to install my style pack

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs

disable breadcrumb home, breadcrumb Root, and breadcrumb current

This just leaves the ‘previous’ showing

then put this into the custom css tab of my plugin

.bbp-breadcrumb-forum::before {

content: "Back to ";

}

The breadcrumb will then become ‘back to xx’ with xx being whatever they came from

[Robin W]

put this into your custom css

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content img, #bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content img {
  max-width: 70%;
}

I am trying to replace my comments on posts with bbpress topics. This plugin is working for the most part…I’m able to auto create new topics of my published posts on the forum. However, my comment box has disappeared on the posts. There is a comment button to click. But when clicked, there is nothing displayed for posting comments.

I have found out that this is a theme issue and not a plugin issue. When I change to a different theme, such as a WordPress default theme, the plugin works. However, I do not want to lose my current theme. Does anyone know if there is any css code I can add to my theme in order to make the bbpress comment box to appear on the WordPress posts.

Thank you!

[Robin W]

ok, closest without code would be :

1. go into

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>breadcrumbs

Leave Disable all forums breadcrumbs UNTICKED

but tick disable on 1, 2, & 3

then put this into

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>Custom css

.bbp-breadcrumb-forum {

  border-radius: 28px;
  padding: 7px 15px;
  text-decoration: none;
  background: #3498db linear-gradient(to bottom, #3498db, #2980b9) repeat scroll 0 0

}

.bbp-breadcrumb-forum::before {

content: "Back to ";

}

you may need to play with the background color to get it to suit your website – I’ve given you a blue gradient

[Robin W]

put this in your theme’s custom css, or in your child theme’s css

#bbpress-forums img.avatar {
padding: 0;
}

[Pascal Casier]

This CSS might help to hide it from the screen, but of course in the source code of the HTML page you might still find it.

.bbp-forum-header a.bbp-forum-permalink, .bbp-reply-header a.bbp-reply-permalink, .bbp-topic-header a.bbp-topic-permalink {
  display: none;
}

Hello, I am running WordPress 4.7.4 and bbPress 2.5.12.

My forum can be found on https://thehulkpress.com/forum . The page looks exactly how I want it to there, but when I click on the forum channel the page background changes to white. I’ve tried a variety of different css codes to change the rest of the pages to black, but can’t seem to find the correct block of code. Can someone suggest a way to change not only the first page, but the rest of the pages’ background to black? Thank you

Hello, I have a bbPress forum on my website. I am running WordPress 4.7.4 and bbPress 2.5.12.

The way I want the entire forum to look can be found on https://thehulkpress.com/forum. However, you’ll notice when you click on the one channel available that the background of the page goes to white instead of staying black. I’ve searched numerous posts and have attempted to change all css fields that make sense to a black background. I have a feeling that the Divi theme that I am running is perhaps overriding this and I may need to change something in the php files, however I am not sure where to look for that. Would anyone be able to point me in the right direction? Thanks for your time,

– Zach

Hi my site is rightfootflat.com and basically in my forum once you register for an account you get sent to the admin login for WordPress and I would like it to redirect to the forum front page. I filezilla sftp but I am not very knowledgeable with css/HTML any help would be great thanks 🙂

[Pascal Casier]

Hi @sallyruchman

Is it a public forum so we can give you the correct CSS ?
What plugin are you using for showing the images ?

[oise73]

Hi Jamie, yes I thought of that, but we have a blog section to the site and we need that CSS rule to show the authors there. It is more of a question of why the name of the author of the forum post doesn’t show.

Robin, I am re-sending that email now. Thank you for your help!

[jamiehennings]

Hello,

I am looking to change color of “text” and I tried to it by using CSS but it can’t work, but when I use the instruction that you provide in your thread then my problem get resolved.
