Hello everyone,

I am having an issue with trying to make my bbpress forum full-width. I’ve looked through several troubleshooting guides and nothing has seemed to work. I am using Marketica theme with bbpress plugin.

From this link below:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/
I’ve located the file it is pulling from (through What the File plugin) and it is from bbpress.php (since I copied a page.php file and renamed it to bbpress.php and added it into my Marketica child theme) file directory.

I then changed the style.css file in the Marketica child theme and injected:

.bbPress #primary {
display: none;
}
.bbp-forums {
width: 100%;
}

I’ve tried other css stylings that I found online and nothing seems to have worked. Can someone please help me? I’m running out of ideas! Thank you all in advance.

Hi,
try the following:

1. In your themes folder create a new folder called “bbpress”
2. Then go to: ../wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/extras
3. Copy all these files into the folder you created in step one.
4. Edit the files in ../wp-content/themes/marketica/bbpress:

Every file in there has the line (close to the bottom):
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
Change this to:
<?php /*get_sidebar();*/ ?>

This should completely hide the sidebar. Otherwise maybe contact the author of the theme. Maybe the theme already contains forum template which may overwrite the bbpress originals.

Hope I could help!
