still some work to do….

but, it’s up & running now, and starting to get used 😉

used a couple of widgets here & there (homepage for recent topics, sidebars for /forums/ page)

and a little bit of css tweaking.

starting to get there.

That’s IE for you !

For some reason that I can’t immediately see, IE is ignoring the background setting, so is just saying it has no background so showing white

I’d suggest you try changing line 999 on dark.css from

/*media all*/
media screen #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form p, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
    background: rgba(18, 21, 24, 1);
    color: #fff !important;
    border: 0px !important;
}

to

/*media all*/
media screen #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form p, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form textarea, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form select, #bbpress-forums fieldset.bbp-form input {
    background: rgba(18, 21, 24, 1) !important;
    color: #fff !important;
    border: 0px !important;
}

It may or may not work !

Okay your topic is closed and stickied, so adjust this css. Use a custom css plugin, or modify and place this css into a style.css file in a child theme.

#bbpress-forums .status-closed,
#bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
 color: #ccc;
}

.bbp-topics-front ul.super-sticky,
.bbp-topics ul.super-sticky,
.bbp-topics ul.sticky,
.bbp-forum-content ul.sticky {
 background-color: #ffffe0 !important;
 font-size: 1.1em;
}

I think your looking for an unread posts plugin. There are quite a few you can use for bbPress.

bbPress Pencil Unread

bbPress Mark as Read

bbPress New Topics

bbPress unread Posts v2

bbPress go to first unread post

I personally like bbPress Pencil Unread, because with a few lines of custom css I can either have the new label or a custom image before the forum/topic title like in the other plugins. And because it has a template tag to include a mark all as read button somewhere. Other users like mark as read as it is close to vBull functionality and the go to first unread post plugin as its close to phpbb functionality. You probably would just need to use Unread Posts v2.

I want to do CSS for just the forum thread pages themselves (ie if I change the title color, I don’t want that change to apply to the list of forums or to other parts of my WordPress theme).

I’m working in the style.css file. How can I target bbpress’s templates and pages.phps?

[Robin W]

The two ‘test’ items below are easier, as they just use blockquote so you can add this to your css

#bbpress-forums blockquote {
  color: green;
}

I presume that you don’t want to change the class in the other plugin?

I’ll be short. Just installed this and looking at it for a possible forum option. Linkage:

http://www.rowlettanglicans.org/forums/

Wordpress version is 4.53, and bbpress is 2.5.10

1) You’ll see the colors are all wrong. Theme is Divi. Obviously css work needs to be done, but I’m not even sure where to begin with that. Any ideas?

2) Also, is it possible to stick this software behind a overall password? We have a password protected members are on the church site, and they’re wanting me to put this in the private area, which is already behind a password. Is this possible at all? I tried putting the slug wiht the same URL as the password protected area, but it didn’t pick up the system password for that (which isn’t a surprise, but hey, I tried). My thought is to put it behind our church’s password protected area, and then not require people to have accounts to post.

@phileas013

I would like the questions to be displayed the same way that on this bbpress forum.

On these forums the developer removed the content holding the labels and also moved the post date and id number in a different area.

Robin linked you to a plugin that enables you to show the lead topic, which this site does, so you have that. If you do not want to use the plugin, or you are really just using it to just show the lead topic, you can also use this custom php snippet that is on this site.

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbp_show_lead_topic/

I still do not find a way to add a border around the topic (and not the replies) or find a way to make it look different from the answers.

You can try some custom CSS like this. It won’t look as good as this site because of how its designed as I stated above.

.single-topic .topic {
  border: 2px solid black;
}

I do not understand why the line in blue with “créateur” and “sujet” appears above and below the main topic.

Thats normal, its how the lead topic is supposed to be displayed by default.

Hi, i have noticed this is only when using mozilla firefox. If i do Ctrl + F5 once in the forum i am then relogged in.
Installing a different theme is not an option as our site would look completely different and some things just dont work, css…
Do you know if mozilla is trying to fix this at the moment?

[Robin W]

ok, so for the header you have

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-header
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-header

and on content you have

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content

You could also download my style plugin

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

and either use that or look at the styles.php file in the css folder for styling css and use what you need.

I am running the latest BBP with WP 4.53 and BP 2.6.1.1 with sitewide and group forums using a 2012 child theme. I would like to show the forum pages full width in twenty twelve. I have tried several options to do this from using CSS to change the site content width along side copying the full with template and remaining Bbpress.php in the 2012 child theme folder as well as copying the Bbpress template folder to my 2012 child theme folder.

None of that has worked the closest it comes is the removal of the sidebar but the Bbpress content still doesn’t display full width. I have looked through the codex and the forums here but have not found a solution. Is there something I am missing? Can anyone point me to a definitive solution to this nagging problem. thank you

[Robkk]

You said you wanted to edit the files, I assumed you would be familiar in styling your forums with CSS. If you are not that knowledgeable in using CSS then check and see if using a plugin like bbP Style Pack helps you out.

[thomasjoseph315]

Where do you edit the CSS files for the forum then?

[Barry]

If you want to take a custom CSS based approach, you could use the body.bbpress selector.

In your case, an extra selector is needed for the main forum page. It’s not ideal to hardcode page IDs in CSS this way and normally that wouldn’t be required – but you seem to be using a custom page instead of a regular forum archive there.

Example:

body.page-id-174,
body.bbpress {
  background: white url("http://replace.me/with-image.png") repeat top left !important;
}

If you add the above to your child theme stylesheet it should get you in the right direction. Please also note if you are able to add it after the existing custom background CSS rule, you can drop the !important modifier.

Of course, don’t forget to add a legit URL in there!

Hope that helps 🙂

[Robkk]

Maybe something like this, not sure of what you are after.

Put the custom CSS in a custom CSS plugin or place it into a child themes style.css if you already created a child theme.

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-body ul.forum {
  border-top: 1px solid #E91E63;
}

Hello my (lottery.co.th) public forum site is https://www.lottery.co.th/forums
I would like to add css to theme but don’t want to edit in bbpress plugin also how to add like a Solid colour between the category?
Thanks.

Hi All,

I just created a really nice working table that I wanted to post as a sticky topic on my bbpress forums. I’m set up as an admin and have full html capabilities.

When I preview my html & css in Coda, it works great! Upon typing in the code as a new sticky topic, it is not inheriting any of the CSS styling.

Is this possible? I’m positive that styling and everything is done correctly. The forum just isn’t seeing it.

Thanks for the help.

[Pascal Casier]

Hi,
If you are having a small font for bbPress, then most probably your theme is having a standard small font size. CSS is indeed an option to go, but you will have to check in your environment where you have to copy this part. It might be something like:

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content  {
  font-size: 16px;
}

Otherwise you might try plugins like ‘bbp style pack’ to help styling your forum
Pascal.

[Robkk]

So the plugin you linked to doesn’t really have anything to offer (other than stopping embeds in WP).

Did you try it? That plugin is specifically for those new WordPress post embeds.

THe setting I mentioned in the bbPress forum settings removes all embeds (youtube, flickr) including the WordPress post embeds.

You do not have to use CSS to hide the little post id number.

Did you try the disable embeds plugin? It may not do the forums specifically, just site wide.

[newbiezo]

Hey community!
I just joined BBPress a day ago, and completely alien to it. I basically want to understand how can you increase font size for the forums as its pretty small. Also if you are telling me to do with CSS. Please tell me where can I find CSS and how can I do it? Where to paste codes, I am in urgent help, please support!

Hi Robkk,

Thanks for the code. unfortunately it doesn’t work for my website. Well, I have a vagrant set up on my computer with a copy website and i test everything there before i make real changes.
I made a child theme and a style.css file (this works as my wordpress site recognises it) and i made a functions.php file and added the code you gave me. The thing is, i tried some other code that exists on https://codex.bbpress.org/layout-and-functionality-examples-you-can-use/#23-show%c2%a0the-bbpress-forum-search-everywhere and they didnt work either.
any suggestions?
would greatly appreciate any help.
thx
