Topic: Modifying colors
Greetings from Vancouver, B.C.
I’ve installed the BBPress plugin and want to modify the ‘light blue’ and ‘yellow’ text block colors on the following page.
http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums/forum/test-forum
I followed plugin >> bb press >> bbp-twentyten >> css >> bbpress-rtl and bbpress.css
Using Firebug I located in the css where (I thought) I would modify the colors but when I looked in both bbpress-rtl and bbpress.css there was no matching code, at least that I could find.
Same for . . .
http://participatorydemocracy.ca/forums
which I want to modify the header to match the rest of the website.
Any suggestions would be grateful . . .
Topic: CSS display: none question
I have the newest subversion of the 2.1 build and I still can’t find a way to single out just the forum links that contain sub-forums in them with CSS so I can make them look visually different for my users.
Is there something I have to activate or something?
OK, I chose bbPress because the description made it sound as if it was a simple program to use. Well, maybe it is if you have a decent amount of prior knowledge with programs like this.
Thing is that many of us who decide to use web development software like WP do so because we want to put up a website but don’t want to take the time to learn HTML or CSS or any other programming language. We simply want to be able to show the world our thoughts, shops, blogs or whatever via the web and want to do so without needing to learn a 2nd language. I don’t think that’s too much to ask in the year 2012.
The problem many of us are running into with bbPress is that the developers assume too much of us. There is nothing simple about getting this thing to work correctly and that’s a shame because it really looks like something great to add to a website.
Again, I do believe that this program would be fairly simple for someone with a decent amount of understanding in web development. However, there are a large amount of WP users who have not one bit of programming knowledge or web development experience. For those of us with extremely limited knowledge in this area it would be a great help if we could get a small bit of instruction to get started.
Having a forum for getting questions answered is a fine idea and would be enough for most of us if only we could get some of the mods to actually answer our questions. I see several posts in this forum from people who are having a difficult time and the only time anyone seems to get any communication from the mods is when they finally get irritated enough to get their post shut down.
I’m not at all trying to be rude or insulting here but there really is no help at all for someone needing it. I’m just trying to offer some feedback in order to improve the product and the support for it. Something as simple as a small manual with step by step instruction describing how to get a link to bbPress forum on the WP front page once it’s set up would really go a long way toward helping those of us who are a little technically challenged.
Seriously….ignoring a plea for help until it’s elevated to the point of frustration and then shutting down the post is counter productive. I’ve searched several posts where all the poster wants is an explanation on how to access his forum from the front page and every one I’ve seen so far offers no help at all. The posters are ignored completely until they are frustrated and then told to leave or to use a different product.
Just a small bit of advice for everyone and something I learned long ago…..Be careful which toes you step on today because they may belong to the feet you have to kiss tomorrow.
Topic: CSS Issue
I’m sure I’m missing something obvious but I can’t seem to find the CSS that relates to the following problem – all my forum pages, and topic discussions appear to be shorter than the width of the table.
I’m using a theme called Oxygen and the normal theme for bbpress.
Here are some screenshots to help explain more clearly (if I’m allowed to post links).

I realise it might be the theme and not bbpress but was hoping someone had an idea of whether this was handled in bbpress’ css.
Topic: BBPress database problem
Hi JJJ, I have an issue with my forum and I don’t see anything in the community (I may be searching for the wrong thing)
My forum is http://jeff-foliage.com/fall-foliage-forum/ and I think it did great last season.
Somebody asked me what shortcodes I used and when I went to the page in the dashboard it will only serve me the last created forum topic.
So if under pages I click the page for the forum to view the codes it returns this http://jeff-foliage.com/wp-admin/post.php?post=735&action=edit (I hope I can’t be hacked by giving this out…
This is a forum post topic that I created last year. If I trash this post it will return the next newest post topic for the forum.
Can you or someone tell me if there is a simple solution? Is this most likely a plugin problem? (I know most are and I suppose I could go through and deactivate them and see if at any point see the page)
Or is this a pure database problem, thoughts?
Oh I’m getting nice comments about how mine looks and I don’t know if my forum looks all that great since I’m in compatibility mode using Weaver theme. But folks seem confused and feel I’ve done great pimping on the CSS when it’s all the theme for colors and what it looks like.

1) How do I remove “Started By”?
2) Why is “Voices” and “Posts” not aligned?
3) Why is there so much vertical space?
I used the bbp-single-forum id=$forum_id] code. This also looks the same when I use the standard [bbp-topic-index]. And it looks this way with and without my custom css to change look and feel.
Thanks,
Cory
Hello,
I am having trouble trying to resize my forums table cells widths.
The “topics” and “posts” cells that only contain a number don’t need to be the same width as the “forum” and “freshness” cells that contain words and wrap to the next line.
When I look at the table through firebug I just see “.article th, .article td” which is part of my sytle.css and not bbpress.
Any ideas how I can make the cells widths change?
Here is an example of 1 forum I am talking about http://lifeafterlondon.com/forums-2/
Many thanks

I almost have this forum completed, but the profile page just doesnt look good using WooThemes Canvas – Theme.
Also the css for the original post is different than the reply posts. Its adding buttons to links, quotes, and the avatar.
Any idea of how to solve this? Ive searched and searched all night, but I cant find a solution.
Here is my test site.
