The problem is, I’m a CSS novice…I don’t know the first thing about editing my template. Those plugins you suggested, those will work in tandem with the forum plugin I’m already using?

Hello Chris,

Thanks for your reply. I do know where the CSS is located but I can’t find the exact entry for the links (even with Chrome). When I load the compat theme it does get the proper link colours from the main wordpress theme but the whole lay-out is ***** up then 😛

Here it the link (with the twentyten loaded):

Hi,

I have bbpress plugin in a WordPress 3.4.2 MU site, with a single instance in the root and /forums. I have a very basic child theme of TwentyEleven which makes some header and CSS tweaks.

Once I activated BBPress, I found that it is displayed using the sidebar. This crushes the forum to the left, so I wanted to get rid of it for the forum page. I read that by default BBPress will use the page.php from the TwentyEleven theme, and to copy that to my child theme, remove the call to the sidebar and name it bbpress.php would override it. Well, for a start, the TwentyEleven page.php does NOT contain the sidebar. After searching the filesystem I found that sidebar-page.php does, so I copied that to my child theme folder and named it bbpress.php, removed the get_sidebar() call, and also set the template name as Template Name: Forum Template in the bbpress.php file.

It did not work. My forum is still showing a sidebar. It does not seem to be using the bbpress.php file at all.

Is there a guide somewhere on how to get BBPress to display without the sidebar when using MU and a child theme of TwentyEleven?

As I said, my child theme if very simple. It is literally a header.php and styles.css, and I have now added bbpress.php. What do I need to do to get BBPress to use my bbpress.php template?

Can I add that a LOT of the helpful-looking links on here lead to 404 pages, which really hasn’t helped in trying to figure this out. It would be great if those could be fixed up somehow?

Thanks!

Hello, I’m trying to set a wordpress site, where for the forum, people fill a form : reach or propose a travel, place they live, number of seat in their car, and then enter the form that will appear with a css style and people can interact to it …
Any idea of how can I create a form forum like that ?
Thanks in advance,
Oli

I am trying to get rid of the text: “Add this topic to your favorites” and “This topic is one your favorites”, as I am using a background css image instead.

The icons are working beautifully, bar the fact that the text comes up.

You will also notice that if you click the star to add it to your favorites, another star appears, which is a link to all your favorites. It appears the link to the forum favorites doesn’t have its own css class, which is why both are coming up as stars. I’d like to get rid of that.

Not sure if this will fit in with your plugin bbPress String Swap David, if you see this.

If you want to see this in action on my forum (still being built), log in at http://netballscoop.com/log-in/ with Username: testing and Password: testing. The forums are at http://netballscoop.com/forums and click on a single topic to see the favorites and subscriptions at the top underneath the title.

I am using WordPress 3.4.2 and bbPress 2.1.2.

I’ve searched a bit around the forum, and have tried some of the CSS edits, but unfortunately no luck…

[dpeery]

I added:

bbpress-forums ul,

bbpress-forums li a{

color: #555;

}

to the end of files:
bbpress.css
and
bbpress-rtl.css

I can see black text on a white background now.

[laltoofan]

Hi, totally now to this and having trouble, I need to change the colour of the forum on my site to black background with white text. I can change the text using suffusion options but this changes all text on the site. For some reason I really can not change the forum background colour. I used http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/change-forum-color/#post-100130 to help me with editing the .css file but nothing seems to have changed!

my forum is at http://antaresscorpions.co.uk/?post_type=forum At the moment we have added a red colour just so the text can be seen on both pages and forums.

Thanks for your help!

I’ve got a strange layout issue on my bbpress forums where if you try to edit a “reply” in a topic the page content is cut off by a div; this doesnt effect editing the very first post of any topic however; which is strange because all the code, CSS classes etc look the same. I thought maybe a bbpress reply page used a different template.. but I’m not sure.

Please see image.

Link to image with further details

Certainly hope someone can help as this is driving me nuts and I’ve spent ages getting the rest of bbpress to fit my theme only to discover this bug now 🙁

Please help!

[smiga]

I made a look on it. I was able to activate plugin. I see Mark as Read/Unread link next to the Subscribe/Unsubscribe links on topics.
But I can not recognize unread topics, they look exactly the same like regular topics. What I did is:
-activated plugin
-used existing topic, where users X and Y are chatting
-logged in with user X and posted reply
-logged in with user Y on topics page, but dont see any difference, that one where user X replied minutes ago looks exactly same like others.
-tried to create new topic with user X and then login with user Y

Maybe I dont fully understand planed functionality? Or it depends from theme and something should be added to CSS file?

Previous plugin for old 1.x BBpress forum was working so that it marked unread topics (totaly new topics and old ones where new replies were submitted after users last visit) in different color.

I’ve got a problem with line spacing.

On the forum, there is no spaces between paragraphs, but on the blog posts there is. Is this a CSS issue? If so, what do I edit?

[leanderbraunschweig]

Hi there – and sorry upfront for yet another question with regards to bbPress-Themes…

• I have been doing thorough research in the forums, no answers for me…
• Versions: WordPress running 3.4.2, bbPress is 2.1.2

My situation_

I have setup bbPress to work with my custom theme (OptimizePress) and embedded the [bbp-forum-index]-shortcode into a single page (“forum”). Here I could obviously pick a site-template and therefore the forum is nicely embedded into my site-layout.

Since I cannot continue using shortcodes & (slug-)pages for dynamically generated topics, I went ahead and followed the customization instructions. I can ensure that the right (template-)files are called upon (inside my /theme-directory) because I played around with content-single-forum.php f.ex. and also checked for the correct CSS-reference.

I also followed the instructions concerning the functions.php (in /theme):

add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );
remove_action( 'bbp_enqueue_scripts', 'bbp_theme_compat_enqueue_css' );

Now I need to wrap the forum-specific template-files with the page-template used by my custom theme. I already tried integrating the bbPress-code into the exisiting page-template with no positive result (no server-response or strange loop-behaviour).

Either I went down the right road but am weak in skill at modifying PHP-Code or there is a far easier approach I haven’t seen/figured out yet (which again doesn’t compliment me on my skill-level…).

Anyways, maybe someone can help me out / hint me into the right direction.

Thanks so much in advance,
Regards

Henning

My suggestion? Find a suiting CSS file in the theme, add

.bbp-forum-title { font-weight: bold; }

at the bottom, and call it a day.

[fagiano1973]

Hy. I DO NOT want to use child theme! i hate it.

I need to do a little modify to the topic title. Example show it on “bold” style instead of “not bold” style. Yeah i know… when update version i need to repet the css modify or lost it so is better to use child theme… NO THANKS.

SO… on suorce code of my bbpress (plugin) page i found “<a class="bbp-forum-title" ……"
GOOD bbp-forum-title is "my man" … the question is WHERE (DEVIL) I FOUN IT?????? IN which
(cursed) CSS file???

Thank you.

PS. BuddyPress 1.6.1 + WordPress 3.4.1 + bbpress (plugin) 2.1.2

[Melindrea]

Sorry, work swallowed my soul (again < .<)

Alright, the problem is that the id of the primary container (the main content) is "container" on bbpress, and "primary" on your page.

Take a backup of all the files, change to in the forum pages. In the forum CSS, replace #container with #primary

That ought to do it, and good luck.

[Roger Coathup]

I had the same issue… see: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/how-to-override-bbpress-css/

I walked through the bbPress code, and discovered where it looked for its css. Amazed it wasn’t documented!

[mluther]

Hello all. Some of you have graciously offered to take a look at the website. I’ve posted links to the HTML and CSS but have not received any responses yet.

Please help if you can.

[pcgs51]

I am using the plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat package for bbPress forum pages. In other pages in my site, I can easliy remove the sidebars from pages in my theme to display a full width page. But the pages in bbPress are very confusing and difficult to force them to full width. I haven’t been able to find a way to do it with CSS.

How can I make them all bbPress forum pages full width?
How can I make only specific bbPress forum pages full width?

Thanks.

Hi. I’ve been going around this all day and haven’t found the answers to my questions so I’m posting them here.

I’m running:
– bbPress v 2.1.2
– Thesis Theme v 1.8.2
– WordPress 3.5 (Network)

These are my problems:

1) I managed to remove the sidebars for bbPress forums puting a php code on the custom_functions.php file of the Thesis Theme, but I can’t get bbPress pages to be full width. How can I tell bbPress to use 100% width?

2) My main forums page doesn’t show anything. I even created a page with the correspond slug and put on it the short code [bbp-forum-index] but this page is still empty.

3) For some reason, bbPress content font is really small. It’s always smaller than my site’s regular font. I have tried every combination of CSS classes and ids to try and change the font size used by bbPress but nothing changes. What’s the class I need to use for this? How can I get bbPress to use the same font size as the rest of my site?

My site is http://www.tunuevocuerpo.com
And the forums are (supposed to be) on http:////www.tunuevocuerpo.com/foros/
You can check one of the forums on http://www.tunuevocuerpo.com/foros/tema/programa/

Thanks in advance.

Hi, if anyone can diagnose the problem by looking at the stylesheets (CSS) and HTML, we’d be most grateful.

Melindrea, No I don’t know my way around HTML/CSS.

[amunds]

It`s near impossible to troubleshoot this without having access to the site so we can see the HTML/CSS. Looks to be either a CSS clear or, as Melindrea said, an extra container.

If you want more help than that we really must see the site itself.

[Melindrea]

The likeliest from what I can see in those screenshots is that there is an extra container somewhere that messes up the stylesheet. Unfortunately, it’s kind of hard to see off of screenshots exactly where the tags go wrong — do you know your way around CSS/HTML to figure it out from there?
