I wonder if I said I wanted to go pro I bet he would reply
probably , the guy does have a separate support forum just for premium plugin users
he might just be busy and more concentrated over there more since the plugin provides income for him.
I manually did the quote and it put it in the lower area of the post.
you probably have to contact your theme author, on how to fix that.
it might be you have float:left;
or clear:left;
in the css and that might be causing the issue.
switching both to none
should fix it.
I don’t see anything with this new plugin either… 🙁 Not even a quote either.
It’s working in IE not firefox. grrrrrrrrrrr I don’t know why it worked in raindrops when I installed it and now it wont and I cant find any plugins messing with it.
i tested the plugin in the latest firefox and chrome , not IE though.
it could be a cache system/plugin or a minify plugin minifying the direct quotes plugins javascript wrong but im just guessing right now.
i would say contact as much people as you can to help solve the issue.

plugin support

Looks like i got it!!!
1k free gold (real) w/ Overwolf WoT sponsored app
blockquote was in completely different css file, what i did is moved everything related to child theme css and then edited it there
i hope this is safe?
thanks :PP
thanks bud
I had @import in my child theme
did as mentioned in
put below code in style.css in child theme
———————————————–
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 182px !important;
}
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 0 !important;
}
———————————–
also copied page.php (from twentyfourteen folder) and renamed to bbpress.php put in root of child theme
try this anywhere where you can put custom css
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-the-content-wrapper input {
font-size: 12px;
padding: 5px;
margin: 0 2px 0 0;
line-height: 1em;
width: auto;
}
Thanks so much again for looking at this. I just got done adding the CSS from your previous comment and it looked good to me (although it always has, it’s only on smaller monitors or screen sizes where it doesn’t I suppose). But then I added the last bit from your most recent comment and the forum page extends too far to the left in to the left sidebar. I’ve left it that way if you want to have a look, but perhaps that last piece is intended only if I want full width (without any sidebars at all)? Thanks again,
alright this should be your entire css now
if the @media queries still do not work try just adding them into your child themes style.css file.
if it still doesnt work when you put the media queries in your style.css make sure you are not using @import and instead using this in your child themes functions.php
add_action( 'wp_enqueue_scripts', 'enqueue_child_theme_styles', PHP_INT_MAX);
function enqueue_child_theme_styles() {
wp_enqueue_style( 'parent-style', get_template_directory_uri().'/style.css' );
wp_enqueue_style( 'child-style', get_stylesheet_uri(), array('parent-style') );
}

and also contact jetpacks plugin support and see if there is a problem or if i made another mistake or something

}
you can see i removed the width:100%
on the #bbpress-forums
css code , its because it didnt really do anything.
Thanks. I’m just using one .bbpress .site-content because I’m keeping the right sidebar. Whenever I use the @media screen piece, it just chops off what’s below it. But yes, it does seem like it’s needed. The first other person to test said that the title of the page is cut off just a little bit on the left side, where as on my end it seems like there’s plenty of space.
This is all the custom CSS if it makes a difference:
.site,
.site-header {
max-width: 100%;
}
.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
max-width: 100%;
}
.form-allowed-tags {
display: none;
}
div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
font-size: inherit !important;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: inherit !important;
}
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 182px !important;
}
And this is it after I add the @media screen tag (notice it just cuts off the rest):
.site,
.site-header {
max-width: 100%;
}
.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0;
}
.site-content .entry-header,
.site-content .entry-content,
.site-content .entry-summary,
.site-content .entry-meta, .page-content {
max-width: 100%;
}
.form-allowed-tags {
display: none;
}
div.bbp-breadcrumb, div.bbp-topic-tags {
font-size: inherit !important;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies, #bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: inherit !important;
}
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
@media screen and (min-width: 1008px) {
Thanks, removing @media screen and (min-width: 1008px)
and adding !important seems to have worked. The forum now resizes to fit the page if you go to a smaller screen size. I appreciate the help from both @robin-w and @robkk. I didn’t expect support like this, I really am grateful. Thanks again!
Solution:
1) Copy page.php and rename bbpress.php. Remove <?php get_sidebar( 'content' ); ?>
as I want to extend beyond the content sidebar.
2) Add CSS:
#bbpress-forums {
font-size: inherit !important;
width: 100% !important;
}
.bbpress .site-content {
margin-right: 0 !important;
margin-left: 182px !important;
}
Thanks for the feedback. I added the @media screen CSS suggested above, but the forum width reverts back to the way it was before. But yes, you’re right. When I go to another screen size the forum size changes.
ok, in your theme css add this at the bottom
#bbpress-forums .content-area {
width: 150% !important;
}
My css is lousy, so if this doesn’t work, come back !
Hello,
My index (archive?) forum page is grabbing a different template from the one specified in the bbpress.php files I made. Well, I used debug bar, and it said the forum index page was serving the same template (bbpress.php) as the normal forum pages. However, it clearly isn’t as it’s displaying it has different elements + css working on them.
The problem is huge, as it’s grabbing the template I use for the main page, which has a sidebar (‘.twocol’) which I’ve reduced the width to 33.2%. This means the box the forum page is appearing in is totally squashed. I can’t amend the css for the forum index page without ruining my front page.
Can anyone help me figure out which template is being called by the forum index page, and how to make sure it just refers to the bbpress.php file?
well i cant see the links on your site because its only shown if you are logged in.
but i just looked up the css selectors on here.
see if this changes the color.
a.subscription-toggle,
a.favorite-toggle {
color:328c00;
}
if you want to change the color of other links like for example the reply author link use inspect element in your web browser, and try to find the class/id then style it from there.
if sometimes some css doesnt work you would have to probably go add the parent class/id in the css or add !important to the end.
like
li.bbp-header a.favorite-toggle {
color:#328c00;
}
search up on google/youtube on how to use inspect element in your browser

bbPress Styling Crib
the css from this code is affecting the whitespace
#left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul {
list-style-type: disc;
padding: 0 0 23px 16px;
line-height: 26px;
}
maybe creating a bbpress.php file could fix this or just adding #bbpress-forums to the selector with reduced padding-left .
#bbpress-forums #left-area ul, .entry-content ul, .comment-content ul {
list-style-type: disc;
padding: 0 0 23px 0px;
line-height: 26px;
}

umm i dont know what to tell you about the sidebar going the profile and tag pages, it might be because of the template you are using for bbpress currently so maybe making a bbpress.php could fix it but i dont know

Hi All,
I’m having some trouble getting my forum pages to be full width. If I use the shortcode to embed a forum and set my page template to “Full Width”, it works fine. But then if you click another forum topic it goes back to what looks like half width. I have tried copying my full-width.php (twenty fourteen) and calling it bbpress.php and forum.php, but it seems to have no impact. I have also tried adding some CSS, but also seemed to have no impact:
.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px;
}
I’m kind of at a loss as to why the forum pages are still not full width, so would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks,
HI guys,
I am trying to do the same,…
I have this in my theme css
body {
color:#dbd8c4;
font-size:13px;
font-family: 'arial';
position:relative;
}
a {
color:#dbd8c4;
text-decoration:none;
}
a:hover {
text-decoration:underline;
color:#ba110e;
font-size: 14px;
}
If i change colors even nickname profile link changes too.
I would only like to change formatting of links user post on forums. Is that possible?
@johnohfs oh , well the grey bars are actually the li.bbp-header
and li.bbp-footer
that hold the labels
here are what css codes are causing the problem.
changing display:inline;
to display:block;
should fix the problem for you.
#main li {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 14px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 5%;
}
@media only screen and (min-width: 769px)
#main li {
font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", Times, serif;
font-size: 18px;
display: inline;
margin-right: 12%;
}
i think putting .bbpress
if you already created a bbpress.php file or #bbpress-forums
before #main li {
should fix the problem, so that only on bbpress pages would have a different css for the #main li
Css or php changes by sftp not updated to my wordpress site. I figured out this is not parent/ child theme problem .. I am using godaddy wordpress managed hosting and this issue occurs because of their cache layer and i don’t know how to clear it. I try to contact them but unable to reach them beacuase of voice issue in international call.
Anyhow my tab/heading problem is solved because of loop code in this link https://raw.githubusercontent.com/robkk/better-bbpress-responsive-theme/master/bbpress/loop-forums.php
i want some modification in tabs/heading — like in the picture arrow appears which show or hide forums../// or modification like tabs act like toggles (function).

Looking for suggestions on how to clean up the look of the bbPress CSS. Here’s a link to my forum page: http://www.ourhomefromscratch.com/forums/
I’m capable of fixing it if I know what to fix. Any suggestions are welcome!
Thanks!

I would to be able to increase the font size of Forums and Topics without increasing the size of Freshness (and possibly Posts and Voices)
The custom css I’m using to increase Forums and Topics is:
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-forums {
color: #FFFF;
font-size: 16px;
}
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-lead-topic,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topics,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-replies,
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-search-results {
font-size: 16px;
}
This is in a child theme under style.css
Also, it seems these people were able to achieve this:

Any help is appreciated, thank you.
loop-forum.php not working with child theme and also sometimes stuck while updating changes in css.
Then I activate parent theme . Now my forums look like this

I don’t want sub category of each category and i didn’t create sub categories of categories. I simple create three categories -no category has its parent and place forums in each category.
But my forums seems different than what i do . I want separate Tabs not sub tabs.
Hello all,
So I finally managed to get bbPress up and running. As suggested, I copied all the template files inside bbPress plugin directory to my active theme. However, I want something better.
I came across this website http://bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes and I really like the first template. I downloaded and extracted it. There are many .php files and one style css. Can I do the same thing and copy these files to bbPress folder of my theme?
Thank you @Robbk for guiding me. Now I’m able to do changes in css.. after adding !important and doing changes in one place.
What to do Next to make tabs
I upload loop-forums.php to my child theme in bbpress folder. I don’t see any tabs appearing on my site studylocus.com/forums
okay first try adding !important at the end of some css to make the css work if your still having issues with that.
alright so there is more info that i posted about setting up forums and having that categorized layout if you havent read the last post aimed at you , you should read it.
Help Css & Layout
ok what you are going to do , is create a category and a forum with the category as the parent.
you do this all in the forums section in bbpress
reply back when you do that.
i want to see it at http://studylocus.com/forums/
then we will go from there.
