bbPress version: 2.5.11
My Site: http://figoocraft.de/forum-3/
Theme: Sydney

Hello everyone,
I am trying to change the size of my font in bbPress.I tried editing the bbpress.css file in: content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/css
First I edited the Size of the bar that holds the topics, that worked perfectly.

Then I tried to edit the overall size of all fonts, so I changed:

#bbpress-forums {
font-size: 12px;
}

To:

#bbpress-forums {
font-size: 16px;
}

That didn’t change anything, so I tried to copy the bbpress.css to my themes directory as that’s what’s mentioned in the documentation. That neither changed anything, so now Im wondering what am I doing wrong?

it may be that your theme is overwriting it (or it could be lots of other reasons !)

try

#bbpress-forums {
font-size: 16px !important ;
}

or use my style pack, which will let you style fonts and much more

The code you wrote didn’t work, but your plugin does. Almost exzellent 😀

I have a different question, and I know many post becouse of this issue exist.
But none of them got me to a resolution.

How can I use the full width for my forums? At the homepage of my forumsite it works nice, but as soon as I click on a Forum the disgusting sidebar comes from the right. I tried copying the page.php an rename it to bbPress.php and remove all things that have to do with sidebars. That didn’t work.

Here is the code:

<?php
/**
 * The template for displaying all pages.
 *
 * This is the template that displays all pages by default.
 * Please note that this is the WordPress construct of pages
 * and that other 'pages' on your WordPress site will use a
 * different template.
 *
 * @package Sydney
 */

get_header(); ?>

			<?php while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

				<?php get_template_part( 'content', 'page' ); ?>

				<?php
					// If comments are open or we have at least one comment, load up the comment template
					if ( comments_open() || get_comments_number() ) :
						comments_template();
					endif;
				?>

			<?php endwhile; // end of the loop. ?>

		</main><!-- #main -->
	</div><!-- #primary -->

<?php get_footer(); ?>

an rename it to bbPress.php

php is case sensitive, so if you name it

bbpress.php

it should work
