Hi..I assume this is a CSS thing, but can someone please help with.
I’m trying to get my Forum to look as close as possible as the current popular Forums today…one thing I wanna add is the Stats at the bottom of the page..for example:
WHO IS ONLINE?
In total there are 115 users online :: 35 registered, 0 hidden and 80 guests (based on users active over the past 5 minutes)
If someone can assist with what line of code I need to use to make the STATS Horizontal across the bottom, rather than Vertical – I would appreciate it!
Thank you!
Hi @robin-w, Thank you for that tip!…Yes, that brings me one step closer to what i am trying to do…I did not realize the “Category” option helped section the sub-forums…so, thank you for that…I assume the look & feel of how the forum is divided to look like the examples above is all CSS type stuff….which is another challenge for me. lol.

I’ve been trying different variations of things and I assume that’s probably what you mean by “Try just leaving the page with the default template”. To make it work I had to name the copied “Full Width Page” file “forum.php” (to get rid of sidebar widgets) and to extend bbp over the entire page I added this width to css…
#bbpress-forums {
width: 900px;
background: transparent;
clear: both;
margin-bottom: 20px;
overflow: hidden;
font-size: 12px;
}
I do also have a bbpress.php file but it doesn’t work alone and haven’t wanted to delete it, just in case, now that the forum.php has resolved things. But again I assume that it’s not needed–the bbp.php file, in my case.
So now that that is done, the “Replies” button in Admin will not open “All Replies”, only the “New Replies”. I started a new topic as this may be unrelated.
Thank you much.
Hello,
I recently installed bbpress, (this morning). I’ve gotten everything setup but I’m having a problem with the forum titles. Instead of one forum on one line titles seem to be wrapping to the next line beneath.
Is this something I can fix in CSS as in number of characters per title?

Thank you
Hi All,
I am having the exact same issue. When a topic is started the new post content is not being displayed so what my users are doing is posting a ‘reply’ with the same content and then it appears. Although – what is really happening is they are posting twice!
So – a new topic is being created, along with the link to the topic in the forum but when a user clicks on it there is not content.
I have tried the css fixes to no avail and am not using the WP-WishList plugin as indicated in some other similar bbPress.org forum posts. Any ideas would be helpful!

Mod: I moved this to it’s own topic as it was not the same issue as the original topic.
This should do the trick 🙂 Then just add some styling via CSS or the HTML markup in the function below and add it to your themes functions.php file.
function ntwb_forum_link() {
?>
<a class="bbp-forum-title" href="<?php bbp_forum_permalink(); ?>"><?php bbp_forum_title(); ?></a>
<?php
}
add_action( 'bbp_template_after_replies_loop', 'ntwb_forum_link' );
Update: Or just download the gist here and install it as a plugin 😉

Hello,
thanks for the tip, it’s working perfectly…now i have a picture before the Forum Title…excatly what i need…
Anyway i need to know how to edit it’s CSS style…
I’m using Firebug and i was able to edit the CSS style for the topic’s thumbnails to get identical as the buddypress one…with a circle box as border…
You should see here hxxp://www.thepanicroom.it/forum/forum/panics-room-forum/
Unfortunately when i analyze the picture your code added, i have no idea on how to find a CSS line to modify…i get only html div span body etc etc
I tried to change the class name to ‘Thumbnail’ and i got a perfect thumbnail…. i changed it to Avatar but no result…i also declred it exactly like the Buddypress do…but nothing to do, the picture come back to the default one…
Please sorry for my really wild and bad english 🙂
Thank you so much…
The short answer is: no difference.
I think I get what you are asking… I did the following:
cd wp-content/themes/copyOf2014
sudo cp page.php bbpress.php
That did not affect behavior on my desktop browser, which continues to render properly. Neither did it change anything on my Android Chrome browser, which still shows a mostly blank page with only the single word “Forums” when I go to “http://mysite.com/forums/”.
I have – as recommended – copied the twentyfourteen theme so that I could make font and margin adjustments, as well as changing the top and side bars from black to very light gray with black text. That “copyOf2014” also contains – again I believe as recommended – a copied “bbpress” sub-directory with a lot of php files and a copied “css” sub-directory with “bbpress.css” among other .css files.
I decided not to try to change the name of the forum midstream so I started from scratch, removing any forum from the new site. Again, the 2 forums imported ok. The topics imported ok, up to a point. This has been a real disaster.
The replies imported but none of them are assigned to the proper forum, that box says “no parent”. I am having to go through over 500 replies in the dashboard and assign each one by hand to the forum it belongs to. That involves referring to the old forum continually to make sure that I am getting it correct.
But it gets worse. Other values for some of the replies are also messed up, such that I have to search the original forum to find these replies and fix the forum assignment, the topic number value, and if there is a reply to a reply, I have to find the reply number value that the reply is responding to. But I have a process and it is getting done.
My question, and what I need help with, is how to fix how the “replies to replies” are displayed. In the old forum that I exported these from, these replies to replies were offset to the right and colored a med gray so they stood out as different. The CSS is correctly set for the new forum to color them gray. But the color is not there and these replies to replies are not offset to the right.
So the end result is that these replies to replies are placed in between the wrong replies and are not near the correct reply. The content flow makes no sense. I do have the correct “reply to” number values set in the dashboard so it should know which reply it is associated with.
What controls how these replies to replies are colored and moved to the right under their parent replies? How did that get lost in the export/import? What can I do now to fix this?
Thank you,
Matoca
Thank’s Thank’s Thank’s! You did it… I put the following code in custom theme css:
#bbp-forum-709 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-709 .bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-709 p.bbp-topic-meta {
display: none;
}
#bbp-forum-1085 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-1085 .bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-1085 p.bbp-topic-meta {
display: none;
}
#bbp-forum-700 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-700 .bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-700 p.bbp-topic-meta {
display: none;
}
#bbp-forum-702 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-702 .bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-702 p.bbp-topic-meta {
display: none;
}
#bbp-forum-1032 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-1032 .bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-1032 p.bbp-topic-meta {
display: none;
}
#bbp-forum-1045 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-1045 .bbp-forum-reply-count,
#bbp-forum-1045 p.bbp-topic-meta {
display: none;
}
———
I guess there is a cleaner way to put it, but now it’s working. I also needed the thumbnail and info above dissapear so I found the p.bbp-topic-meta code was it…
The only thing that I need now is to know how can I center those forum titles at the center of the page, also center the height between lines…
Thank’s
@Stephen
Thanks for the reply.
You’re correct. The first two points were covered except that I need to test if I can eliminate the ‘All Members’ public group and just use a sitewide forum.
In the meantime I had successfully upgraded to bbPress 2.5.1 and I have now gone to 2.5.2.
I’ll check the theme compatibility article although I am using a child theme of Suffusion and I have installed the Suffusion bbPress pack.
The threaded reply setting was enabled to a depth of ‘2’. The first reply was at the same level as the original posting and the reply to that was indented one level. When I increased the depth to ‘4’ and added more replies to replies, the threading worked. I guess I can live with the first reply being at the same level or I can muck around with the CSS if need be. 😉
Happy New Year

Add some custom CSS to your theme:
Eg. For the ‘Notícias’ forum
#bbp-forum-709 .bbp-forum-topic-count,
#bbp-forum-709 .bbp-forum-reply-count {
display: none;
}
Yes, that was spam, now deleted

I would like to modify the new post form that displays below the current topics in a forum. I was trying to do it with only CSS, but I have run into a problem.
I want to remove the “Topic Tags” field below the body area. I initially tried with the following CSS:
label[for=bbp_topic_tags],
input[id=bbp_topic_tags] {
display: none;
}
This removed the form and label themselves, but there is a <p> </p> tag around these with no Class or other identifier, leaving a noticeable space.
What is the best way to accomplish this or modify the form?
Hi mate, I put that in bbforums.css with no result on centering the Main page titles…
Any answer out there? Pleaseeeeee
Hi @netweb – I am trying to do exactly the same thing with adding a small image icon next the Forum name.
I tried to follow your CSS example, but im abit confused….Can you please help with how to get it working properly.
Your Example:
.bbp-forum-34 i:before {
content: "\e112"; /* glyphicons_ */
}
So – .bbp-forum-34 <— this I change to the name of my forum id.
– content: "\e112"; <— what is this & goes here?
/* glyphicons_ */ <—- what is this & goes here?
Any type of response would be appreciated! Thanks!
Hey, I’m no expert in using bbpress and buddypress and so I’m facing some problems with integrating bbpress to my buddypress.
I already have a css for my buddypress group forums. Now my Question:
Is it possible to use this stylesheet for my bbpress forum? or are there other solutions?
I want my group forums to be displayed on ONE site but still separated. So each group should have its own “directory”.
Any Ideas?
Hi mate, I put that in bbforums.css with no result on centering the Main page titles…
Hello!
I’m currently setting up a bbPress forum on my WordPress website and I have one problem.
The “Submit” button is not recognizeable as “Submit” button because the colours are not strong enough.
Here is what it looks like:
If there is some sun shining on the computer screen, the “Submit” button can’t be seen at all. 🙁
So can someone please help me? I want to change the main colour of the button to slightly darker gray while the text in it saying “Submit” should be black.
How can I change the button colours?
(Please keep explanations easy. I don’t really know much about CSS and such.)

Hi, everyone!
I need a theme for my bbPress forum. I only want to change the theme for the forum, not the site. The site should look the same. I don’t know much CSS so I can’t change the style of the forum. I want the forum to look like http://forum.arvixe.com/smf/
Here’s my site: http://www.covalty.com
Thanks 😀
Hi, I want to disable the default bbpress .css file. I searched through the forums and found several solutions, but none seem to work.
I used to deregister bbp-default-bbpress with the code below, but that doesn’t work anymore after the WP 3.8 upgrade.
add_action( 'wp_print_styles', 'deregister_bbpress_styles', 15 );
function deregister_bbpress_styles() {
wp_deregister_style( 'bbp-default-bbpress' );
}
WP 3.8
bbpress 2.5.1
Thanks!
I would highly recommend looking into learning a little CSS, even a small amount can let you achieve a lot in bbPress and even WordPress.
Something you can do for example is: #bbpress-forums { background-color: #ffffff; color: #000000; } – this is just an example.
Good luck! 🙂
I’m having issues with the font or background color on my bbpress forums page. The font is to light I cant read anything. Can someone please explain to me how to change the color. I’m a beginner at all this so I don’t know any css but I can look it up. I tried to do it under the stylesheet under editor but I cant find the code. my website is fishfanatixblog.com and click the buy/sale/trade tab and see it.
Hi Stephen ( @netweb ), Thank you for the quick reply, the issue you mentioned (http://www.kriesi.at/support/topic/bbpress-user-profile-page-problem/) was a different problem, I had to create a page called “blog” for bbpress to work with this theme. After creating this page everything worked smoothly until I upgraded to bbpress 2.4.
To be honest I thought that the problem was my theme, and not bbpress. BUT … this problem did not occur with my current theme until I upgraded to bbpress 2.4. It only happened when I upgraded to new version. In order to demonstrate, I replaced my theme with standard buddypress theme. I also removed all the other plug-ins you mentioned, If you log in now as the guest user you will see this css problem even with the buddypress theme.
If you log out (s2 member is removed) and look at the same forum when logged out the css problem does not occur. Only when you log in as subscriber. (http://megm.wpengine.com/forums/forum/magazine-articles/july-december-2013/)
Kind regards
For what you want you could always make use of the Recent Topics Widget and setup a whole new page/index.php that shows:
Forum name
Recent Topics widget for that forum only
Forum name
Recent Topics widget for that forum only
Seems a lot simpler then changing the core files, which will be an issue for updates.
The look of the widget can be easily altered by css
