My current theme (Responsive) comes with several templates.

By default, bbPress appears to be using the (unsurprisingly) “Default” template, and I just want to change bbPress to use the “Full Width” template. I don’t see a setting for that. Possible?

Can I create a page with a shortcode or something?

I don’t really want to modify the display, just change the overall template.

Thanks!

I’ve tried this to no avail.

I ‘m using the responsive theme, with a child theme. I take the full-width-page.php from the themes/responsive folder, copy it to /themes/my-responsive/bbpress.php

But nothing changes? that should work?

is your site public?

[@ricks03 Participant 4 years, 3 months ago]

The site is currently under dev. Will PM you URL

[@ricks03 Participant 4 years, 3 months ago]

Hmm, no PM function. And the forum is locked down behind membership. Let me know best way to facilitate.

ok, in the bbpress file above, can you change

<?php Responsive\responsive_in_wrapper(); // wrapper hook. ?>
<main id=”primary” class=”content-area col-940″ role=”main”>

to

<?php Responsive\responsive_in_wrapper(); // wrapper hook. ?>
<main id=”primary” class=”content-area bbpress-area col-940″ role=”main”>

nothing will change, but let me know when you have and I’ll do the next bit !

[@ricks03 Participant 4 years, 3 months ago]

done!

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 3 months ago]

ok, add this to the custom css section of your theme

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

[@ricks03 Participant 4 years, 3 months ago]

Fixed! Thank you so much!

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 3 months ago]
