@atfpodcast deactivate the new ui plugin, if you still have a problem reply back.

@mnhfile

just post the css code in just one thing, dont put it into two places.And if you also have bbpress new ui deactivate that.

to make categorized forums, first go to the forums section in the backend click the menu link with the beehive.

whatever forum you want to make a category change the type in the sidebar in the right. change from forum to category.

to add forums to this category, click any forum you want to be a child of the category and make the parent the certain category.

change the order number to customize the positioning, top category starts at zero then the children forums go off that.

you should end up with something like this.

first category 0
-first forum 1
-second forum 2
-third forum 3
second category 4
-fourth forum 5
-fifth forum 6
third category 7
-sixth forum 8

Dear Robin Sir
I apply alternatively value to child theme other than core values but the whole theme turns into awkward bluish colour – menu turns into singles pages and a lot more happens,,,

My problem remains
Changes not apply in child theme css not even a singles css value .
like i paste this into my child theme and i can’t obtain the required results

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple;
}

I search everywhere and read all the documentation…. watch firebug videos..

I don’t know what to do after trying all the possible options!!!!

[mnhfile]

So is there any way that I apply whole pre-made css file to bbpress forum other than individually setting css values ??

[mnhfile]

https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/ I past the codes to bbpress.css and child theme css … nothing happens … I alter the codes and add another one with !important tag but all in vain…

One more question bbshowcase.org/forums/view/available-themes how to install these themes only in bbpress forums. please give me some illustration ..
I try a lot of methods like
-copy bb theme files to child main theme directory
-rename bb theme style.css to bbpress.css and paste to child theme directory ..I past in main folder as well as in css folder of child theme..

I shall be thankful to you if you help me in installing premade custom layouts of bbpress theme

Hello,

thank you for responding.

I did not contact my host and i just noticed this. Forums are not yet very active.

But i have posted on thesis theme forums since a beleive it is a “skin” compatibility thing.

This is the topic i started over there and em still waiting for more info:

Hello,

I just tried editing my own post in bbpress and i get a server error message :

Service Unavailable.The server is temporarily unable to service your request due to maintenance downtime or capacity problems. Please try again later.
But when i try to edit an other members post, there is no problem and i can do it.

I am of course admin of my own site.

I have tried :

– Removing all css customization – no joy

– Deactivation all extensions – no joy

– Activating Twenty ten theme – works

– Activating Thesis 2.1 with Social triggers theme – works

– Reactivating Classic Responsive – No joy

It seems that the error is for any member trying to edit a reply they have created and not a topic.

If you edit a topic you started it works. So it must be an issue with the reply’s?

If that is any help

Other point, when editing from back end, it works…

And any help would be welcome!

Dominic

P.S. sorry for english, im french canadian speaking.

1. follow this link look at number 1 to see if you have the right css , copy that into whatever place you can put custom css

jetpack custom css module

2. Follow this link and follow these instructions

To use this template:

1. Download the file below to your PC, and unzip it.
2. Using FTP go into your theme, and create a bbpress folder
wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress

where your-theme-name is the name of your theme
3. Copy the file you downloaded to this folder, so that you end up with
wp-content/your-theme-name/bbpress/loop-forums.php

Alternate bbpress index page

here are some more links in the codex that might be useful

if you still dont see any changes in css after you have followed all the information correctly.

the last thing i could think could cause the problem is either clearing cache
and also bbpress- new ui plugin , if you have this installed it might cause some issues in styling

I am using Thesis 2.1 theme and adding .css changes in the custom css section where all my other site customizations are.

This is the info in the css crib :

#bbpress-forums .submit {
background-color: #a0668d;
color: #FFFFFF;
float: center;
vertical-align: middle;
border-radius: 10px;
height: 35px;
width: 80px;
font-size: 18px;
}

But what i want to do is change all the submit buttons individually beacause .bbp_user_edit_submit button is not showing proprely.

But i have yet to find the right path to change the submit buttons.

Any help would be appreciated.

Also, in the user edit section. When on profile, the avatar is grayed out. How can i fix this?

And… how do i fix avatar size in topic section.

Sorry for typo mistakes, im french canadian speaking.

[Robkk]

this is the css to customize the color , i already put purple in, you can change that to a specific color.

if you are using the bbpress-new ui plugin , i dont know if that will cause a conflict or not.

copy this css anywhere where you can put custom css

jetpack custom css module
custom css plugin
bbpress.css file

HEADER

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {
background: purple;
}

i also put the footer css just in case you want to edit that too.

FOOTER

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header, #bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
    background: purple;
    border-top: 1px solid #EEE;
    font-weight: bold;
    padding: 8px;
    text-align: center;
}

@terriswiatekyahoocom

do mess with the templates in the plugin folder they will just be gone when you update the bbpress plugin.

just copy the templates to your child theme and edit those.

do not do inline styles, you can just add a class to the link and add the css to the bbpress.css file that you should copy to your child theme in a folder called css.

i would recommend not to put the code into your pagination template. it would be fine if you just put it into content-single-topic.php you can just put it i think under
<?php bbp_single_topic_description(); ?>

i gave you the wrong code earlier actually so my bad, the one i had takes you to the forum index.
this is the final code should be this exactly

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_topic() ) : ?>

<a class="bbp-back-to-forum" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>">Back to <?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>	
	<?php endif; ?>

what this does is only show the link on a single topic, so it wont show it on topics started page a subscribed/favorited topics page.

it takes you to the forum of any topic you have, so if you have multiple forums you wont have to write the exact link everytime.

it adds a class which is a.bbp-back-to-forum

and the link shows the actual name of the forum.

then you can style the link by using.

a.bbp-back-to-forum {
float:left;
}

drop the css into your bbpress.css in your child theme.

also please read the codex, it has alot of very useful information about bbPress.

I want to change the color background for the table where it says Forums, Topics , Replies and Freshness. i don’t know css or php I am using dreamweaver to try to figure out these short color codes. This is what I want to do: (photoshop was used to create the effect)

Like how the new ui plugin for bbpress does it but my color scheme. I just cant find the table

[andrecgro]

First of all, congratulations of your plugins, you guys did a real good job, again.
I’m trying to customize the theme of my bbPress forum and I can’t figure out how to edit some things.
For example, how can I edit,individually, the itens “Author” and “Post” on the section 5 of http://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

Thank you guys for helping me.

[Vadim]

bbPress 2.5.4, WordPress 4.0, Theme: Accelerate.

Font size does not depend on the theme.
Extra small font is not convenient read.
Please do, the size of 16px.

I can do it myself, I know the file bbpress.css.
But also for the new font size need to customize the size of all the blocks of the forum.
The names of the words in different languages ​​have different widths blocks.

[CodingMachine]

And if you want to hide your closed topic just do it in css

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
display:none;
}

[DVDfever]

I want to change the horrible green colour in the forum, but looking in bbpress.css, I’m getting nothing like the following which I saw on here. I’ve searched aplenty on this forum but just can’t find it. How do I change the colours, please?

.forum a { color: white !important; }

.bbp-forum-info { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-topic-count { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-reply-count { color: black !important; }

.bbp-forum-freshness { color: black !important; }

[jessy]

Rewrite your theme styles with this, paste this on very bottom on style.css or into <head> tag section and wrap t with <style text/css></style>:

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta span {
   white-space: nowrap;
   background: none;
   border: none;
}

[Ricsca2]

@robin-w With the code you’ve written now the various parts of the forum is bigger.
The problem is that I can not change manualente all parts of the theme.
The theme for bbPress does not have a css because it goes to get the css of wordpress theme right?

As ever with the theme HUEman this does not happen?

Very thanks

[Robin W]

Without a url or screenshot I can’t really help further – there are several places where bbpress has font sizes eg

#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: 12px;
	}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list li {
	font-size: 11px;
}

#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-title h3,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-title h3 {
	font-size: 16px;
 	}

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forum-info .bbp-forum-content,
#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta {
	font-size: 11px;
	}

and lots more

I can only suggest you try some of the above in your custom css BUT put ‘!important’ after the px part to ensure that it is not overwritten eg

#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: 12px !important;
	}

[Ricsca2]

I have insert

#bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p,
#bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p {
font-size: 12px;
}

in bbpress.css but nothing has changed.
