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!

WP version: 4.0
BBpress version Brand new install. 2.0 I think?

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:

Dall’Uva Forums

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?

[mnhfile]

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

[Robkk]

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.

@atfpodcast

try to keep your css issues on the link to the topic, its hard to keep track of all the topics if im trying to refer to two people questions

Question on the css for bbpress

@mnhfile

try not to make duplicate topics, you have 3 topics about the same thing.

[Robkk]

@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

#bbpress-forums li.bbp-header {

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…

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
custom css plugin
bbpress.css

bbPress Styling Crib

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

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – part 2

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.
