I have installed bbpress and am using elementor pro with the Hello Elementor theme. I am also using Simple Membership. I installed the bbp style pack as well but that plugin broke the rest of my site layout. I have created a POST TEMPLATE in elementor that has been applied to posts in a category and once the bbp style pack plug in is activated, that template is broken. Deactivating the plugin puts the post format back. Any idea why this is happening?

Install this additional plugin

bbp style pack

once activated go to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack>theme support

and you’ll be able to set it to work

Yes I did that. It isn’t working.

sorry read you first post too fast !

I did the fix for hello elementor some while ago, and things may have changed.

ok, on my test site the forums display whether style pack is enables or not, and indeed whether the option is ticked in theme support, and it may be my fix as such is no longer doing anything.

So without style pack, what is broken in either the forums, or your posts?

[@farrahhenleyeducation Participant 10 hours, 37 minutes ago]

Nothing is broken when style pack is disabled. I just can’t customize the forum look.

style pack uses lots of different techniques to change things, and dependent on what you are wanting to change, some things might work and others not.

So if you enable style pack, but do not tick the theme support, does the ‘number of swans’ bit work? and do forums display?

If so can you give me an example of a style pack change that does not work – eg I set item x in tab y and nothing happens

THANK YOU! Such an easy fix. I unchecked theme support and everything is working! If it had been a snake it would have bit me! That’s what happens when you have spent 12 hours staring at code! LOL! Thanks @robin-w

great – glad you are fixed !!

I suspect that hello elementor authors have now got the theme working with bbpress, so my fix is no longer necessary
