Hi Lynq!

Thanks for the tip. The problem was with my theme css. Luckily I found a better theme than the last one and it solved my problem. I really appreciate your help.

Regards!!

Hi guys,

Up until a couple of weeks ago every other post on the main page of my forum had a really nice blue background so as to make the posts stand out and look more separate. It has suddenly stopped doing this and now all the posts have a white background. I have updated all my plugins but this has still not resolved the issue. Can you please help me get the blue backgrounds back. I have been to the css.style page and the coding in relation to the forum is below, should there be something else?

/*————————————-
3. FORUM
————————————-*/

#content table tbody tr.odd td {
background-color:#dldcf9 !important;

}

Thanks,

Jamie

Guys I’m getting an error with the ‘forum’ link. On the top left corner of the forum you get Home>Forum>Fourm1>Topic1 if you are in any topic/forum. When I click at ‘Forum’ I am redirected to a page which has all the forums (Forum1, Forum2, etc..) but it comes unformatted. Plz take a look at http://wingsofindia.com/forum/forum-1/ and click on Forum on the top left for a better explanation of my problem. This prob is specific to my theme. Maybe the prob is with my style.css – not sure. Plz suggest ways..
bbpress 2.2.4

[Stephen Edgar]

Just add the following to your themes CSS or if you are not using a child theme there are a few ‘Custom CSS’ plugins you could use so that you are also safeguarded against theme updates also.

`#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {color: #000;}`

Hello, I am using lates bbpress 2.2.4 plugin with wordpress 3.5.1, php 5.4.3 & php 5.3.2.
This plugin is showing me many issues specially for user pages (profile, edit, etc.)
I am using twenty twelve theme, very little customized.

1) I wanted to set a different sidebar for bbpress forum pages than other wordpress pages, so I checked and found the default template used by bbpress is ‘page.php’. I copied it, renamed to ‘forum.php‘ and added a new dynamic sidebar and commented default sidebar. It worked fine and now I can set any widget to this sidebar. I have checked that either I place ‘forum.php’ or ‘forums.php’ both working fine similar. Not sure which one is more correct.

2) On the bbpress users pages the profile content and edit form is not displaying full in widht cutting as its width overridden by sidebar, breaking layout. The content area ‘primary’ div is given a width in theme and having ‘secondary’ as sidebar. All other contents properly adjusted on every bbpress pages, but only this bbpress user profile edit page have the issue. The form should also be adjusted within the content area. Ex. url: http://mysite.com/forums/users/testuser/edit

3) Now, suppose to fix the issue mentioned above in point 3), I want to remove sidebar from users pages and give the primary content area more full width, how I can do it? One way is to forcibly hide the sidebar with css and make primary content wider with !important. But I want a way to change user pages template. Is it possible to have different template for user pages than bbpress other pages? I found that users pages also generating using ‘page.php’, in my case ‘forum.php’ template now. I tried alot by copying and changing ‘page.php’ to ‘user.php’, ‘users.php’, etc. but its not working. Please let me know how can I set user pages to use a different template file and rest bb pages use my forum.php or forums.php whatever.

4) For any user when I click ‘topic started’ or ‘replies created’ link, both show counts properly but the table didn’t appear. I checked in firebug, it present there but hidden somehow. Same issue mentioned here http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/profile-topics-or-replies-posts-not-being-displayed/ , I tried with the same thing, but till now no proper solution there. Please let me know proper way to fix it.

5) If suppose I want to completely hide the user-profile links on all bbpress forum/topic authors, on all bb pages, I mean want to display only author gravatars and usernames but want no link on them, so other people cannot go to their profile pages, how can I do that? A little help given here http://forum.graphene-theme.com/graphene-support/show-the-author-but-hide-its-link, but its not working properly. But I think it can be done with right filters in the same way. Please let me know with sample code.

6) Used the official facebook plugin http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/facebook/ , and displayed the like button, like box for my facebook page using it in my site footer, header etc. But I found that on the user pages like edit profile, profile view etc. facebook widgets are completely disabled and not visible. On other bbpress forum pages they are displaying well. I checked with page source and found even facebook sdk is not embeded in page source. Their must be an conflict on bbpress user pages with facebook sdk which stopping it to be enqueued. This need to be checked and fixed.

These all issues mentioned here are serious issues with bbpress specially for user pages and must be solved and have proper solutions.
I dont expect from a single person to answer or fix all of above points, but hope different people will help me for different points (just mentioning points in their replies).

Further I expect from bbpress authors to work on these issues and release a fixed version. May be some of above points just because of lack some documentation, so they can mention some solution in its FAQ itself, so people having same problems can get help without searching or posting here in forum.

It’s nice to see a few CSS tweaks providing deep integration into an existing WordPress site.

Thanks for sharing!

Hello good people
This is my very first request for help and I’m a very, very newbie with all this.

I’ve designed a film photography forum using bbpress and Fanwood theme. I’ve managed to customize some CSS but something does not work.

When writing a post or answering to a given post the “text box” allows me to write all I want and it even assume the line breaks, but when I submit the post all the line breaks are gone and the text turns into a single “block”.

Can anyone please help me?
Thank you

[verlaine76]

I know this was a while ago, but in case anyone else stumbles across this topic, here’s how I did it.

In your wordpress install find the folder `/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css`

Open the file `bbpress.css` in a text editor
Within the bbpress.css file, search for the text `#bbpress-forums .status-closed`

When you find this text, below is the entry `color: #ccc;` This is the colour for your text in closed topics. Change it to #000 for black.

[nely]

The problem was solved by adding in the css line “#bbpress-forums div.reply” additional parameter: “width: auto;”

[Lynq]

You can add in a bit of CSS to help put them onto a new line, if you have firefox + firebug you can right click and inspect element. You can then see the list, it just needs to have some display:block added onto the list items.
good luck!

Hi,

On the main forum page, I have all the categories including various forums. All forum name are on the *same” line. It is not very readable. It looks like

Catégorie-name
Forum 1 name (14, 27), Forum 2 name (13, 38), Forum 3 name (11, 10)

How could I have something like :

Catégorie-name
Forum 1 name (14, 27)
Forum 2 name (13, 38)
Forum 3 name (11, 10)

CSS tweaking ? or Plugin for CSS lazy boyz ?
Thanks, 🙂

This is a continuation of another thread, but it is a separate problem. I was trying to get bbPress to recognize a CSS document. To check that my current CSS document actually worked, I deactivated bbPress. The document indeed works. So, I went to reactivate bbPress and once I did that I looked at my forums and everything was gone. I go to check Forums > All Forums on my Dashboard and everything is still listed. Why are my forums not showing up? I am still using the original bbpress.css document, so I know that is not the reason why. Thank you in advance!

[mintertweed]

Okay, so I physically replaced bbpress.css located in bbpress/templates/default/css/ with the newly named style-forums.css and the styles are working fine. But I immediately replaced it with the original bbpress.css because my forums are still not appearing properly. So…first problem solved! Yay. Now, how do I make my forums appear once again? Thank you for your help thus far!

[mintertweed]

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.

[Stephen Edgar]

Rename your CSS file from style-forum.css to bbpress.css in your themes root directory.

[captjones]

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.

[LiveFreeOrDie]

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!

[mintertweed]

‘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!.

[spookyloot]

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}

[SimonFullSteam]

I’m trying to do something and have hit a wall.

I want to have multiple “hub” pages on my site each with a custom menu that I’m serving using my themes slider.

It all works great on the hub pages but forums are not pages of course, so I cannot get a slider at the top the same way I can on a page0.

The forum index is ok but as soon as a forum or topic is clicked I lose any obvious way to serve my custom menu.

Must haves;
– Each hub has it’s own menu
– the menu must exist on every hub child page and forum to allow navigation

Is there any sensible way to do what I want?

BBpress 2.1, Buddypress 1.6, WP 3.5, Dynamix theme
I have HTML/css moderate skills, low php, but willing to get contractors for what I can’t do.

[Shane Gowland]

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;
}`

[forsberg94]

Hey bbPress.

I need help to remove these – marked on picture.

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?
