Nope. That did not do it. It reverts back to style.css rather than bbpress.css and I know this because the two styles are two completely separate colors. Also, I just realized something. I deactivated bbPress to see if I had coded style-forums.css correctly (now named bbpress.css) and when I reactivated bbPress, my forums have disappeared. So, I went to Forums > All Forums and it still shows them as being there, but they are not appearing on my Forums page like they were before. So, I guess I now have two problems.
Edit: And I just deleted bbPress and reinstalled it. The various forums still appear in Forums > All Forums, but they are not showing up on my Forums page. Sigh.
Rename your CSS file from style-forum.css to bbpress.css in your themes root directory.
Hi I am running a WordPress site with Genesis and the bbPress forum with the Genesis extension. For some reason my avatars are displayed weird and my links are getting the same formatting as the avatar links to peoples profiles. Any ideas what is causing this?

There does not seem to be a step by step manual.
`To customize bbPress:
The directory “wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/” contains the directories “bbpress”, “css”, “extras”, and “js”, and the file “bbpress-functions.php”.
“bbpress” contains template files; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “bbpress” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“extras” contains optional page templates and things to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the same ‘bbpress’ folder. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/bbpress/
“css” contains style sheets; copy any you want to modify into a directory named “css” in your theme’s root. eg. /wp-content/mytheme/css/
Edit the new files for complete control over bbPress display in your theme.`
^ I did all this and the forum stopped working at all. No other option?
Thanks.
I’m having a style problem with this as well. The forumhome only is taking 1/3 of the space counting sidebar, 1/2 the space it should. I tried editing the css but no luck. Any idea what class or id I should be editing?

All other pages are the proper width, just now the forum home. Thoughts? thanks!
‘Allo. I currently have an issue. I have a separate CSS document for each one of my pages. For my forum, I am using style-forum.css and it worked just fine. Then, I installed bbPress and reloaded my forum page. It seems to be pulling its styles from style.css rather than the aforementioned CSS document. I know I did it correctly because it was working just fine before I added bbPress as a plugin. But just to make sure, I deactivated bbPress and, sure enough, it began reading from style-forum.css again. How do I use bbPress with the correct CSS document? Thank you in advance!
Today when i tested my websites for flaws i saw that the visual editor box text color had changed into white instead of black. This made the text invisible unless you highlighted the written text.
When i did some research on how to change it i saw that this problem goes back years.
Most forum threads didn’t even got solved.
I have found a simple solution for this problem.
When i checked my source code i saw that the visual editor .css was located in public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched for ‘white’ it got me to this part of the code:
wp-editor-area{color:black}
I changed it into wp-editor-area{color:white} and this solved my problem.
I hope this helps allot of frustrated people!.
I found he solution for the white text in visual editor problem when using BBpress.
Go to your ftp and open public-html/wp-includes/css/editor.min.css ( I found it viewing my site’s source code)
You will see a whole bunch of code making it almost impossible to find the right part to change.
Call it a lucky guess but when i searched the word ‘white’ i only found 1 code:
-wp-editor-area{color:white}
I changed it into black and this solved the white text problem!
so just search for wp-editor-area{color:white} and change it into:
-wp-editor-area{color:black}
You can hide it with CSS. Try adding the following code to your theme’s style.css file.
`.bbp-template-notice.info {
visibility: hidden;
height: 0px;
}`
Hey bbPress.
I need help to remove these – marked on picture.
View post on imgur.com
I found “bbp-forums-list” inside teh bbPress plugin’s css and made the display to none instead of incline. It really didn’t help much.
Can you help me?
Or you can go through all of the theme files and remove get_sidebar.
and
The best way to remove a sidebar is probably to just use CSS to .sidebar { display:none }
Will that remove the sidebar from the entire blog? I only want to remove the sidebar from the forum page, not the other pages…
So I believe I’ve figured out a really simple solution to this all. My particular issue with the plugin in question in this thread is simply that it relies on users clicking a link to mark a post as read, which isn’t all that intuitive in my humblest of opinions.
Using a built in BBPress function `echo bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );` and some CSS, we can easily style unread threads.
`echo bbp_get_topic_last_reply_url( $topic_id );` links to the latest reply in a given thread. So something like myforum.com/forum/topic/post-name/page/10/#postid-12345
When a new reply is created, that last bit there becomes #postid-12346 and is therefore a new URL, so browsers will treat it as an unvisited link. Therefor, doing something like this gets the job done:
`a:visited {color:red;}`
For anyone who’d like more detail, I’ve written a complete post on exactly how to do this: http://clicknathan.com/web-design/bbpress-read-topic/
It only involves changing one BBPress template file in your theme & adding a single line of code to your style.css file.
Hi!
I just updated to bbpress 2.2.3 I have buddypress using bbpress sitewide forums. Using current wordpress version with buddypress default theme and my own custom made child theme.
Updating caused some style problems. I think I had edited some css and forgotten that I did. So I discovered I should copy bbpress.css into my theme. I have done this and have gotten rid of the awful bullets by setting #bbpress-forums to list-style:none.
I need to align LI.bbp-topic-freshness to the right to get rid of a large margin being caused by it aligning center. I told it to align right and it didn’t cooperate! What should I try now????
The site is http://rheum4us.org however the forum is private using the membership plugin.
Thanks for any help!
I had the same problem, i resoved it by adding this code in the style.css of my twenty eleven child theme
.forum #primary{
width:70%;
}
.forum .entry-content{
width:100%;
}
And then also:
.topic #primary{
width:70%;
}
.topic .entry-content{
width:100%;
}
And finaly,
.bbp-user-page #primary{
width:70%;
}
.bbp-user-page .entry-content{
width:100%;
}
That solved my problem. I run WP 3.5. and bbpress 2.2. Hope this helps.
I also figured out how to change the page title and remove some space at the top. Let me knof if you are interrested.
So,, there’s no plan so far.. thanks for letting me know. 🙂
I just decided to follow your advice and adjusted CSS to the img tags in the activity stream contents.
Thank you for the fast reply!
No plans, but could be done. Since the BuddyPress activity streams contain full HTML in each item, it’s a bit of a mess to change the visual layout. You could use some targeted CSS to improve it, but until we move to having callbacks for the items, it’s pretty limited what customizations you can do.
I cannot for the life of me figure out what CSS code is causing the text to be grey on the body section of a new forum post.
Any help would be appreciated.

Hey all,
I thought I would have a go at creating a quick and easy theme for people to get started using bbPress. This was built fairly quickly using one of my other themes (which are based off the default bbPress files).
If you want to check it out then have a look at: http://www.epicwebs.co.uk/content/bbpress-theme-invision-or-phpbb-feel or check it out on github https://github.com/EpicWebs/bbPress-starter-theme-epicwebs.
The theme allows you to get more of a phpBB or invision look to your forum. It uses the functions I posted previously on bbPress.org along with some css to get the forum looking nice by installing the theme. The forum should be pretty fluid so it will fit any width of site.
Good luck, I hope this helps!
How was this passed? just through the bbpress css or?
Yes… An entry in CSS for each forum
Sounds cool Darren.. definitely looking forward to see what it looks like.
And Stephen, I’m guessing you have to manually create a CSS class for each forum?
You could use…
.bbp-content .entry-title { display: none; }
in your css file.
Sounds great Darren would love to see it, feel free to Pimp your site here.
A plugin would be cool and like Jared there is much on my plate at the moment.
Similar to Martin’s method above I have been using a custom icon font and targeting each forum like so with CSS where in this case the forum id is 34.
.bbp-forum-34 i:before {
content: "\e112"; /* glyphicons_ */
}
I tried to use div.forums-topic-datetime with display: none; but i can’t get it to work. Can you please post the whole code? I’m fairly new to CSS.
Regarding the PHP filers…I’m not sure how to do this either. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
