Hi All,

I’m kinda new to the whole website creating thing, and really need some help with this one.

I have installed BBpress, Buddypress and BBpress new UI (To change the look of bbpress), now the website is http://www.steelvanguards.com

If you look on the forum page, I have disabled the widget so that I have the full page for the forum. However the forum is only in the middle of the page.

I have tried adding :

.bbpress .container {
max-width:100% !important;
}

To a few files, as per the previous topics, but nothing happens.

Am I doing something wrong? I can’t find anything in any of the files which relates to the actual width of the forum.

Please please help. . . because I’m on the verge of giving up and going back to WPSymposium. . . which doesn’t have enough features for what I need.

PS.. . . I’m not very good with CSS or anything like that, so please be gentle with your replies 😉

ok, gentle response !!

your forum is sitting within a class of .entry-content which is set to max-width: 474px;

so you need to add

.entry-content {
  max-width: 100% !important;
}

to your theme style.css at the end

Strictly speaking you should add this to a child theme

Functions files and child themes – explained !

but if you add it to your main theme, juts keep a note of it, as you will need to re-add it should your theme be updated

Come back if anything not clear, and I’ll help further !

Thank you!!

The :
.entry-content {
max-width: 100% !important;
}

Didn’t actually work for some reason.. However . . I did a search in the file for ‘474’ which related to ‘entry-content’, and changed it to 1000px. . . It changed it to what I needed!

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.

Now I just need to figure out the colour! LOL

PS: I Don’t have a child theme, but have a really good memory. Plus I have my site regularly backed up, so if it all goes seriously wrong, I’ll do a restore. 🙂
