    In reply to: bbPress 2.4.1

    Guys, I have been a WordPress user for a couple of years, but just beginning to work out bbpress. It looks great (thanks!) but I’m finding a few difficulties working out a few things.

    I want to suggest that you enlarge the Codex slightly to assist new users, with a section titled something like “Some common issues”. It could include your recommendations and suggestions on the following:

    Getting sidebars the way you want them:
    Outline the various common problems and the recommended approaches/plugins to solving them (there are many threads on this, not all resolved):

    • remove all sidebars
    • Get the same sidebars as your blog
    • Different sidebar to blog

    Styling
    Do we need a special CSS or can we use the CSS from the blog?

    Features of most forums
    Most forums have features that it is sometimes hard for newbies to find the right way to get them, so giving us some good advice would really help:

    • List of forums in sidebar
    • List of recent posts in sidebar
    • Login/register box
    • HTML/BBCode buttons – is a separate plugin useful?
    • Admin & moderation

    I know you probably don’t want to favour some plugins over others, but giving us your best advice, and maybe listing a couple of alternatives, would be very helpful.

    Thanks.

    To me it seems it all works perfectly. Just add
    .two_third { width: 100%; }

    to your .css file

    Hey.

    If you haven’t created a child theme, start with doing that.

    Create the file bbpress.php in your child theme.
    Copy the content of your page.php file into this new file.
    Remove the line

    <?php get_sidebar(); ?>

    You’ve removed the sidebar πŸ™‚

    Now you only need to change / add some classes / ID’s and adjust your CSS file to give the forum a 100% width.

    Keep me updated πŸ™‚

    Hello.

    I wanted to remove sidebar from my bbPress forum. Please help me.

    Could try this:

    add to template: <?php bbp_forum_id(); ?>
    This way you’ll see the ID-number of a forum when you display it.
    Say, forum 1 has number xxx, 2 yyy, 3 zzz.
    Remove the line above from your template.

    Add this to the sidebar:
    <?php
    $forum = bbp_get_forum_id();
    if ($forum == xxx) {
    echo ‘code forum 1’;
    } else if ($forum == yyy) {
    echo ‘code forum 2’;
    } else if ($forum == zzz) {
    echo ‘code forum 3’;
    }
    ?>

    If you want to add a shortcode, you can do it this way in php.
    echo do_shortcode(‘[shortcode]’);

    Hope this will work πŸ™‚

    Greetings,

    I’ve been on the hunt for weeks now, and there seems to be numerous threads out there for people who want to remove ONLY the Buddypress sidebars, to enable Full-Width Forums, Groups, Profiles, Members, and more pages.

    However, nobody seems to have a concrete way of doing this. And if they figure it out, they don’t share it and the thread dies. I’m trying to remove the sidebars so I can get full width pages on JUST my Buddypress pages.

    MY SITE INFO:
    Theme: deTube (Themeforest)
    URL: http://www.shredlounge.com

    I’ve tried creating a child theme, creating buddypress.php from full-width-page-template.php, creating a style.css file in the child theme, etc. etc. Somewhere along the way i’ve goofed it up. So i’m searching for someone to help me do this from scratch. Please list them out in steps (1., 2., 3.) on what I should be doing.

    Thank you so much in advance!

    Found it:
    [bbp-forum-index]

    EDIT: Never mind, this works in a way as it disables the sidebar for the main forum page, but as soon as you go into a subforum/thread or post the sidebar is there again πŸ™ πŸ™ πŸ™

    I have a full width page template option… but how on earth do i make a /forums page myself ? I do “create page” and then what ?

    Is there some kind of shortcode to “insert forum here” ?

    You could try making /forums/ yourself as a page and look if there’s a page template that allows full width. Most premium themes now-a-days do.

    Hey,

    I read a lot of potential solutions to this problem, tried a lot of stuff, nothing works πŸ™

    I think the problem is that I am using a custom Elegant Theme (DeepFocus) and the solutions provided are for the standard themes ? not sure…

    I just want to get rid of that sidebar and have my forum use all the space… πŸ™ *sad*

    Anyone ?

    I ended up adding a new CSS rule to my theme’s CSS file, luckily bbPress uses a unique class on the page. Adding the following removed the sidebar from my theme, which is based on Genesis:

    body.bbpress .sidebar {
    display: none ! important;
    width: 0px;
    }

    body.bbpress #content {width: 920px;}

    Keep in mind that the content width of 920px is based on my theme’s container and you may need to adjust it to suit your needs.

    Here is my installation:

    Hi people!
    I need to apply some customizations to my bbPress forum.
    First of all I need to remove the sidebar for the bbPress pages, what’s the right way to do this? maybe creating a conditional tag with “widget logic”, or assigning a custom page to the bbPress forum with a layout without the sidebar? Or editing some layout page into bbPress template?

    Then I’d need to have the first page of the forum like here, with the latest topics, I found some ways to do this, but nothing appears to be the right way.

    Thanks πŸ™‚

    Hi, how can I remove the sidebar from my forum page? I’m trying to get a full width page for the forums. I’m using the 2012 default WordPress theme, http://goo.gl/kC0X2

    Kindly advise.

    Thanks!

    i’m in the same situation – and i’ve yet to find a post that explains how to remove the sidebar correctly.

    JJJ, could you write a post that explains how to do that – in an idiot proof format?

    Thanks!

    I have no idea what’s going on, I think my theme doesn’t support bbpress. I removed [<?php get_sidebar(); ?>] from all the file I copied from the EXTRAS folder but the side bar is still there. I switched to twenty eleven them and the forum page seems to work properly without the side bar. And I haven’t copy any file from bbpress and extras folder.
    Shmoo, do you know a way to get around this?

    EDIT: OMG, I’m so stupid…it’s so simple. All I need to do was create a new page, Select Content Layout as NO SIDEBARS, then select template bbpress forum…

    I still need more experiment before I can transfer to my website. πŸ™‚

    Well to now what file you have to get isn’t really that difficult, you just need a little understanding of what files will be loaded when view a specific page.

    This is a good sheet to show you the logic, but it can be difficult te read.
    https://codex.wordpress.org/File:Template_Hierarchy.png

    This one explains in my opinion much better whats going.

    The anatomy of a WordPress theme

    But it’s not too difficult, lets say you’re on the homepage of your website.
    Often the index.php is need to start. If you open the index.php you see at the top something like this <?php get_header(); ?> the funny thing about PHP is that you can alsmost read-/understand what it is going to do. Like the code tag above says get_header so on that position it will grab the header.php file and open it. Keep following all those files and you will be okay.
    Think of it as LEGO – building blocks – it needs a few blocks to make a house and a webpage is the house.


    For the forum (bbPress) side I can tell you that the homepage of the forum is the page where it shows all forums & categories. This is called an archive page and not a regular page.php what most people would think when they first start.
    Normally if it’s an archive page WordPress would load the archive.php template but because we have a Post_Type created by bbPress called Forum we can add the Post_Type_Name behind the archive.php – like this: archive-forum.php

    When you copy that archive-forum.php file form your extra’s (plugins) folder to your Theme folder and open it you will again see the <?php get_header(); ?> stuff and all other typically WordPress stuff.

    To remove the sidebar of the main forum-page you just go into that archive-forum.php template and delete the code that called the sidebar: <?php get_sidebar(); ?>
    Just like the header it’s telling you what it does -> GET Sidebar ( load the sidebar files )

    It’s really just trying and not being afraid. Them ore you do it the better you get at it.

    *** Never try to edit files on a working website – online ***

    Install WordPress + your website on your computer locally, get a code editor – edit the files and check if everything is working. When your finished editing and everything is Fonzy cool you can upload and overwrite the files at your online-server.

    You know how I got my start (years ago) while not knowing what files to edit – By just opening some files I thought could be the files I needed. Typing 55555555555 or something else inside the file – Save it – reload the page in the browser and if 55555555555 didn’t show-up on the webpage I knew it wasn’t that template I was looking for and kept searching for the right one.

    Don’t be afraid to make mistakes… You gonna make some trust me, but when you have a back-up file or you can simply undo your edit inside the Code-editor ( CMD + Z ) you’re all fine.

    Thanks Shmoo for all the help. Unfortunately I don’t know which file to copy so to be safe I’ll copy everything to my child theme.
    I’m also trying to remove my main theme’s sidebar for my forum with no success. I’ve read other post and this seems to work:

    body.bbPress #sidebar {display:none;}
    body.bbPress .post {width:100%;}

    I put those on both my bbpress.css and the style.css but it doesn’t seem to work.

    Because it was an eyesore, I display:none’d the avatars on the reply widget in my sidebar to keep them from displaying and have replies simply show up as a list of “AUTHOR on TOPIC”. However, it seems that there was a non-breaking-space included somewhere AFTER the avatar and before the author, and it’s still there because it’s hardcoded in somewhere.

    It looks more than a little odd, and I’d like to remove it if possible. Anyone know where I might find it? I’ve found the recent replies widget code in widgets.php, but I can’t figure out where this space is coming from.

    Okay, but I thought in order to remove the sidebar from your forum (i.e.: a full-page forum) you need to be working in “themes” not “templates.”

    Let me be more to the point. I have a website with a custom WP theme, (http://www.gamehounds.net/).

    I want to intgrate bbPress forums under the tab “Forum.” I want the bbPress forums to be full-screen without the sidebars, but of course I want to keep the sidebar in the rest of my site.

    After a LOT of reading… including your wonderful thread that says Never Modify bbPress core files, I built a child theme and activated it.

    But when I go to where says to in order to put my bbPress theme into my child-theme file, there is no “themes” folder.

    I do have a “templates” folder, but it doesn’t seem to have any information for themes where it instructs to “get sidebar,” which from what I read is the thing that I want to “//”.

    Does this make sense at all? Again, apologies for being kind of numbskully about this. I’m really just hacking around in the dark and learning as I go.
