[Robkk]

if this isn’t possible, I totally understand.

no its possible , i forgot some periods though.

Here should be the full code , not shortened though.

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content a,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content a {
    color: blue;
    text-decoration: underline;
}

if it still doesnt work , post a topic that has a couple links in the replies and topic post and i can find some CSS that would work with your theme.

[Robin W]

ok, Rob’s the css guru, but why not try my plugin

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

which will let you style the hyperlinks (no. 5 in forum index styling)

Otherwise come back and we’ll help further

[Svend Rugaard]

I have this theme from ThemeFuse called GameZone, and every changes i have made since the original i usually have fix by my self somehow, but the other day i was tired of PHPBB and converted and move it over completly to BBPress, and it work as is should i got some of the css fix so its almost as ret of the page, the only problem is i found out even i use the themes own “widget” deattachtment for pages i need to be with out side bars Like Guides etc.

Then the BBPress have put my finish touch on hold for the last 36 hrs and i am really irritated over it , because why should a thing i literally find 100 of topics about this problem. Reeally think it is weird there isnt being any solution implented as part of bbpress.

Anyway my forum here is correct size in the “front-page”

1. Frontpage : http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat-forum/
2. Sub-page : http://www.playstationforum.dk/debat/kategori/playstationforum-dk/

As yoy see the sub-page dont have full width even i have remove made a page.php and copy it over to my child theme and rename it to bbpress.php and remmove

<?php get_sidebar();?>

This is mention alot of places and everything there is sidebar related, but i can really not figure out what because no matter what i remove it either remove background completly or remove the sites build up. And i have made a Page for it and use the shortcode. – Still nothing – Hope someone can help. I actually change to bbpress because i though the hardest part would actually import everything from PHPBB

here is my code as it is now

<?php 
global $is_tf_blog_page,$post;
$id_post = $post->ID; 
if(tfuse_options('blog_page') != 0 && $id_post == tfuse_options('blog_page')) $is_tf_blog_page = true;
get_header();
if ($is_tf_blog_page) die(); 
?>
<?php $sidebar_position = tfuse_sidebar_position(); ?>
<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('before');?>
<div class="main-row content-row">
    <div class="container">
        <?php if ($sidebar_position == 'left') : ?>
           <div class="middle-main sidebar-left">
        <?php endif;?>
        <?php if ($sidebar_position == 'right') : ?>
            <div class="middle-main content-cols2">
        <?php endif;?>
        <?php if ($sidebar_position == 'full') : ?>
            <div class="middle-main content-full">
        <?php endif; ?> 
                    <div id="primary" class="content-area">
                        <div class="inner">

                                <?php if(!tfuse_page_options('hide_title')):?>
                                    <header class="entry-header">
                                        <h1 class="entry-title"><?php echo get_the_title();?></h1>
                                    </header>
                                <?php endif;?>
                                <div class="entry-content">
                                    <?php  while ( have_posts() ) : the_post();?>
                                        <?php the_content(); ?>
                                    <?php break; endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>
                                </div>
                            </article>
                            <?php if ( comments_open() ) : ?>
                                <?php tfuse_comments(); ?>
                            <?php endif;?>

<?php tfuse_shortcode_content('after'); ?>
<?php get_footer();?>

I want to fully remove it, I am integrating breadcrumbs myself in a completely different place. I have found no template I can add to my theme which will allow me to control the breadcrumb on the forum root page.

Any replies with silly css hacks will be ignored, if I want to remove it I don’t want dormant elements hidden on the page, I want it gone!

Can anyone assist with this please?

[Robin W]

The first basketball is given by a div class of ‘page-title’
The second basketball is given by a div class of ‘entry-title’

so you could try

#bbpress-forums .entry-title {
display : none !important ;
}

in your child theme css

I’m trying Thumbs Rating. It doesn’t tie into any user meta, so you can’t restrict the voting to only registered/logged-in users. However, it works very well and very fast. It only adds post meta so it shouldn’t noticeably slow-down your site even with thousands of topics/replies.

After activation, per the plugin developers instructions I put the following code into my loop-single-relay.php:
<?=function_exists('thumbs_rating_getlink') ? thumbs_rating_getlink() : ''?>
goes somewhere between <div class="bbp-reply-content"> and </div>
–this is theme specific and has to be modified based on your needs. I found that placing the vote before or after and not inside the content works best as the “quote” function in the forum(s) gets screwed up with the added voting content.

That means before/after the <?php do_action( 'bbp_theme_before/after_reply_content' ); ?>

Of course, as a lightweight plugin some serious css work is required. And it would be best to place this modified .php file into a bbpress child theme folder to ensure it continues to work after updates.

Good luck, Chad

Hello everyone,

i am very new to CSS & HTMl, i tried to solve my problem by my own, but i didn’t get it.
Maybe someone has a idea how i can fix my new bbpressforum.

Only half of the site is used by BBpress. BBpress should use all the remaining free space.

Thats why i tried yet.
The widget area dissapeard and bbpress should fill out the empty space.
But yeah, how you can see its not working. (http://www.forest-game.de)

My Code:

#bbpress-forums .article, div#content_box.sidebar_layout {
	width: 100%;
}
#bbpress-forums .article, .sidebar.c-4-12 {
	display: none;
}

Edit:, oh i did something wrong. The widgets areas on the other sites dissapeared too ^-^

Kindly regards

[Stagger Lee]

Separate bbp-forum-content on bbpress.css line 537 or use !important:

.bbp-forum-content {
margin: 0 0 0 73px !important;
}

display:table; gives you same effect.

[Stagger Lee]

Take rest with CSS. Dont know how it looks.

Small warning. If your forum is not visited well it could look amateurish. You will have post after post, after post, avatar of one and same User/Topic author.

Same situation is if you use automatic bbPress topic from WordPress Posts.

Making bigger avatars can make things worse if you dont have many Users. For instance another tweak “last commenter avatar”. I tried all this, and if you have just one User who like to comments more than other Users, it looks boring to see enlarged avatar of this User on whole screen everywhere.

I mean easier to take it if avatar is few pixels big.

[gezginrocker]

Just after posting the above message, I decided to give it one more try and added width property to the bbpress.css file under #bbpress-forums . And voilà, it is showing properly now. Although I have no idea why it is ignoring the same one in style.css.

[andrew55]

I’ve been searching, and there seems to be no solution for creating a unique topic icon for each individual forum (i.e – to be displayed to the left of each forum title/description). There is a plugin which pulls the image from the first topic, but that want work for many such as myself.

I’m no coder by any means, but my idea was to insert some simple php (if statement) in the template file, maybe right after “bbp-forum-info” in loop-forums.php

Something such as this:


<?php
global $post;
if ( is_single('17', $post->ID) ) {
echo '<div class="forum_pic1"></div>';
} elseif ( is_single('19', $post->ID) ) {
echo '<div class="forum_pic2"></div>';
} elseif ( is_single('18', $post->ID) ) {
echo '<div class="forum_pic3"></div>';
} else {
echo '<div class="forum_pic_default"></div>';
}
?>


The topic numbers would equal the forum topics. This would allow a unique topic icon to be shown for each unique forum. The “forum_pic” divs could be used to display a background image or even a font-awesome font (using css background property).

Anyone have any suggestions for this? Will the idea (with proper code) work? Anybody with some php under their belt willing to take a shot?

Or, is there another completely different method to accomplish this, which is easier?

Thanks for any suggestions.

[FlyFishersCorner]

I’ve looked all through the theme and been unable to find it, but they do advertise it as being bb Press ready, so it may be something on the back end I can’t see.

The CSS is brilliant though! I don’t know why I didn’t think to try that! (Though I suppose I wouldn’t have known what the function causing it to display is without you identifying it).

I’ve already got custom CSS to get the forums to inherit my background color, so 3 little lines of code added there took care of my issue!

Thanks so much for the help and for bearing with me!

[alwhit]

Thanks. i think I’ve hidden the forum subscribe with css accidentally!

Yes I had found that widget but I really like the subscribe / favorite links in there too so would be nice to add all that.

[Robkk]

use this CSS

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar,
 #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar,
 #bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar {
  display: none!important;
}

[Robin W]

not a quick php answer.

looks like css might be the way to go

Twenty Fifteen, no sidebar

but you want it specifically for forums (although not sure how they’ll navigate out again).

forums use

#bbpress-forums as the css tag, so maybe combine that with the code abiove

[Devilfish85]

Hey everyone. I’m not the most css savvy yet, but I can usually chase down a problem after a while… not this one, it seems. Why is my text outside of the margins on the left side? I’ve already had to add a snippet of code to my theme’s style.css to take care of some strange bullets, but the text was misaligned before doing that as well I think. Thanks for your advice.

http://www.tampere-hema.com/?forum=test-forum

[Robin W]

add this to your style.css

#bbpress-forums {
width: 700px !important;
}

Functions files and child themes – explained !

[Dragonfighter]

Placing the bbpress.css in my theme’s folder did not work. Everything (Forums, Sub-Forums, Topics, etc.) Displays as Unordered lists. I will look at the plugin.

[Dragonfighter]

FWIW, I have uploaded the custom CSS file again and the forum appears as it should. But it would be great if we can come up with a way to keep it from being overwritten in the future. It’s a nasty surprise to check on a site and see all the changes undone. Thanks for your help.

[Dragonfighter]

Finally after the second time of spending hours styling the forums on my site, I saved a copy of the CSS but I don’t have access as I write this. I replace the CSS and everything is good and then in a couple of weeks, the CSS is overwritten to defaults.

What can I do to keep from having this happen over and over again?

[Robkk]

@eli_damon

alright when you get bounced to the normal reply form if you see a cancel link by the submit button thats when you know threaded replies is working.

just enter some content after your bounced from the reply link and hit submit the content should be under the post you hit the reply link.

the awkwardness im talking about is when the reply is on its 7th thread or more when you have a sidebar for bbPress, it makes the 7th on look squished.

Its best if you have full width for threaded replies.

other issue is when you are on about your 3rd thread or more of a reply on mobile devices , the replies content will look barely readable past that.

messing with this CSS and making the margin-left smaller for mobile device width would help out alot though. But making it look great on mobile would require some work.

#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-threaded-replies {
  margin-left: 50px;
}

if you really want to have a 10> threads , get inspired by reddit.com and how they do it.

[Robkk]

remove the CSS you added to your child theme (you can download it to backup if you made changes)

let the style go back to the normal 2013 then put back the CSS

it did this type of thing for 2014 for me one time and it was pretty weird.

this PHP snippet should remove the double Private wording

add_filter('private_title_format', 'ntwb_remove_private_title');
function ntwb_remove_private_title($title) {
	return '%s';
}

other than that try these troubleshooting tips

General Issues
bbPress works with many themes and plugins, but it is impossible to test all combinations, and many issues are caused by conflicts with plugins and themes.
Therefore before posting, please test if your issue is resolved by the following

Plugins

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. If it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

Themes

If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

If the above produces an issue:

If it is a paid theme or plugin, please contact the authors for resolution.
If free, do ask here, we may know of workaround.
PLEASE tell us you have done the tests above when posting.

OTHER COMMON FIXES
The following will do no harm, so are worth a try and can fix some issues
Dashboard>settings>permalinks. Don’t change anything, but just click save. This resets the permalinks, and can solve some 404 errors.
Dashboard>tools>forums>repair forums and run one at a time. Useful if you’ve got some stuff not showing – doesn’t often fix but occasionally does.

[Robkk]

i think this is what you are saying you want??

put this CSS anywhere you can put custom css

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  display: none;
}

[SSmeredith]

I have upgraded bbPress from 2.5.4 to 2.5.6.
All went ok, there was a core .css file directly edited that broke the sidebars, so have put the old one back in and site looks ok. Other than that, everything appears to be in order except for the topics Now not appearing.

http://www.yoga-teacher-training.org/forum/forums/yoga-teacher-training-forum-issues-concerns-and-questions-for-teachers/new-teacher-questions/

You can see that is says 500+ topics, etc. but blank under the heading. The data is in the database. I am tempted to upgrade the WP version and then some miracle it’s fixed… but in the real world, I think I really want to fix this first.

Any ideas? I am hoping it will be a simple fix.

bbPress v 2.5.6
WP v 3.9.3

Thank you in advance for your assistance!!

Hi, it doesn’t change.
I also tried this:

#bbpress-forums #top ul:first-child > li > a {
  color: #b84444!important;

i don’t know it that helps, but my custom CSS contains this:
