bbPress automatically adds the class “reply” to when editing a reply to a topic. Does this class do any anything? I’ve had to remove it using jQuery due to an incompatibility with my current theme. The theme is already using the class “reply” for the reply link on posts, which means that every on the edit reply page get styled like that class.

Probably not used for anything important. Might be some small style tweaks you’d need to compensate for.

I am having exactly the same problem. Having trouble figuring out how to remove this class, not competent with jquery and trying to avoid digging in the core. Any suggestions?

[@goddess_dix Participant 12 years, 2 months ago]

And I’ve gathered the script would go something like this?

$("body").removeClass("reply");

Any clues as to what template or how I might add that to remove the reply class from the body would be great. This is my first foray with bbPress and it’s been a learning curve…

You’ll want to remove it from the actual theme template instead of dynamically removing it via jQuery.

Copy the theme files from within bbPress to youtheme/bbpress/ and then make your edits, that way they will be saved and not wiped out on future upgrades.

Thank you very much for the reply, jaredatch. Since this class is actually added to the body tag not the wrap divs on replies or whatever, I haven’t been able to locate a template that would allow me to edit it. I may well be missing something and not understanding the bbPress structure, I don’t know.

The body classes are applied dynamically using the WordPress body_class() function (https://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/body_class)

You can use a little trickery to hook into it and remove classes, but if possible I probably won’t do that.

Why are you wanting to remove that body class?

My theme (Genesis child theme no longer available) uses the reply class for styling. When editing a reply or using a search widget, it messes up the presentation of links. While I could look to try and alter my theme itself to not use the reply class anymore, it’s customized pretty heavily and the company that I purchased this particular child theme from is no longer in business for support requests or suggestions to make it compatible with bbPress. I’ve done a fair amount of work just getting it to the point most of it does look good.

This should do the trick. Just drop it in your theme’s functions.php file.

Thank you! This has been driving me insane for the last couple of weeks now. I very much appreciate your help.
