Hi, can we add a label something like “[Closed]” BESIDE the topic title in the topic list if the topic is closed for discussion?

Currently those closed topics will be highlighted pink by default by bbp Style Pack plugin (Topic/Reply Display > item 4). I wonder how can we disable this highlight effect using CSS. “[Closed]” label just looks nice & neat for me.

Regards.

thank you

put this in the custom css part of the style pack plugin

#bbpress-forums .status-closed, #bbpress-forums .status-closed a {
	background-color: transparent;
}

Hi Robin

Did you manage to add “[Closed]” BESIDE the topic title in the topic list, as per the discussion above.

I had a look through the BBP Style Pack changelog and could not see a reference.

Handy option for Forum users to visually see that Topic is closed without changing colour of underlying background colour and something I am looking for currently 👍

This is what I ended up using and seems to work well. If others are looking for CSS code that adds a “CLOSED” visual reference to the beginning of TOPICS Titles that have been closed, then try this and tweak to suit if needed.

/* Add a “Closed” label to closed topics in bbPress */
.status-closed .bsp-preview::before {
content: “Closed”;
background-color: #ff0000; /* Red background for visibility */
color: #ffffff; /* White text color */
padding: 2px 6px;
margin-right: 10px;
border-radius: 3px;
font-size: 0.9em;
font-weight: bold;
}

Example;
