Hi guys, I have to run but want to make this post before I leave so apologies for my grammer.

#1 If you go to http://www.astronomertalk.com, it says “no catagories” above Forum, I want to get rid of this, and get rid of the whole line it takes up there. Does anyone know how?

#2 I want the actual forum names to be larger and more bold font. Does anyone know how to do this?

Thank You,
JB

#1 is related to your theme I reckon. Try as a test switching to a default theme such as twentytwelve and see if it disappears. If it foes come back and we’ll try to help further.

#2 see https://codex.bbpress.org/bbpress-styling-crib/

[cybarmitzvah]

Thank You!

#1, yes I will use their support forum now.

#2 I am confused where to look for that code? Sorry, I am new to coding. Where do I find the place to edit that code?

Thank You,
JB

#1 – ok if it worked with the twentytwelve theme, then we may still be able to help here, but try their support forum first, and if you don’t get help, come back and I’ll see what we can do. We can usually get you working with most themes !

#2 Don’t worry we all started not knowing, but as long as you are willing to learn and put a little effort in, we can help. So first of all we need to create a child theme to go with your parent theme. This will let you make changes without losing them on upgrades. Start by following this guide

Functions files and child themes – explained !

Then come back when you have a child theme, and I’ll explain further 🙂

#1, not too much action is taking place via the support forum for the theme, looks not very well used. maybe we can figure it out here.

#2 Hi Robin, I am into my cpanel via firezilla, but still a bit unsure how I could “create” a child theme.

[cybarmitzvah]

wait up, I just created the theme and activated it!

woot woot!

wahts the next step.

Thanks,
JB

[cybarmitzvah]

also, I can see my theme already has a child inside of it, should I just use that and delete the one I made?

[cybarmitzvah]

no one?

[Robin W]

yes I’m here, but the helpers on here are volunteers who do this in their spare time and for free, so please be a little patient.

I am doing some coding at the moment, but will respond when I get a chance 🙂

[cybarmitzvah]

take your time, just wanted to make sure people did not think it was solved.

Thank You,
JB

I also would not mind getting rid of the huge Forum, underneath the no categories as it already says forum underneath.

[Robin W]

ok, lets try and get this in order

#1. get rid of the no categories
#2. increase font for items
#3 decrease size of forums header

Ok we need tio sort out the theme issue – I see you as using the ‘awesome’ theme, not a child theme. Have you switched since you asked the question, or did you name you child theme awesome?

come back and we’ll progress the issues

[cybarmitzvah]

Hi Robin,

#1 Yep.

#2. #2, Yep, increase font plus change colors, and possibly add a picture next to each subforum.

#3. No, just get rid of that “Forum”, under “no categories,” I believe its the page title. wouldent mind getting rid of it on all the pages.

Yes, I created a child theme called “[awesome].

Thank You So Much,
JB

[Robin W]

Ok, can you remind me what you main theme is called?

[cybarmitzvah]

mesocolumn

[Robkk]

#1 try

li.cat-item-none {
display:none;
}

#2 if its the subforums??

a.bbp-forum-link {
font-size: 16px;
font-weight: bold;
}

#3 if you really wouldnt mind it being gone for all pages then

#post-entry article h1.post-title {
display: none;
}

[cybarmitzvah]

trying all now, will post back,

thanks.

[cybarmitzvah]

Yes, all 3 worked!!!!!!

I will say there is a bit of a gap now, between the forum, and the title of site/description, would you know how to make that smaller?

Best,
JB

[cybarmitzvah]

also, is there any way to get a picture next to every catagory or subforum?

Thank you,
JB

I will say there is a bit of a gap now, between the forum, and the title of site/description, would you know how to make that smaller?

try this, but if you see some weird looking css throughout the rest of your site in that area remove it, Or try to find an alternative.

.content {
padding-top: 5px !important;
}

search forum and topic icons in bbpress search then go from there

[cybarmitzvah]

just tried it, does not seem to do anything.

[Robkk]

it should have but i mean there is space created by different objects.

try this

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: 0px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 1.4875em;
}

if you want to lose more space try this

.container-wrap, footer .ftop {
float: left;
margin: 0;
padding: 0 2% 0 2%;
width: 96%;
background-color: white;
}

after that there isnt any more you can delete.

[cybarmitzvah]

great, just played around with it an ended up with this, which is what I like the look of

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: -85px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 2.00em;
}

Would you know how to also get rid of some of the space on top of the sidebar?

Best,
JB

[Robkk]

@cybarmitzvah

well you shouldnt use that code.

especially this

#post-entry article.post-single .post-content {
font-size: 1.25em;
margin-top: -85px;
padding-top: 0px;
line-height: 2.00em;
}

because if you go to your about page, there is text colliding with each other
and never go negative.

[cybarmitzvah]

ahh I see.

[Robkk]

for sidebar, also replace that .content code with 5px padding top with this

.content, #right-sidebar {
padding-top: 0 !important;
}

and

#right-sidebar {
float: right;
width: 28%;
padding: 0 0% 0%;
}
