I’m a solid 7.5 out of 10 on WP but 100% new to BBpress.

I plan on having about 15 categories with some 50 forums for each category on my site. The current default display isn’t easy to follow so I’m attempting to find a way to easily change the layout on the forum index display page.

However, I don’t want to show all of the forums as some are private to groups etc.

I’m looking to achieve this look on this page: http://theme-sphere.com/smart-mag/forums/

I understand CSS is involved here but I’m looking for a get me going fix.

How can I list multiple forum titles on one page. When I use the code [bbp-single-forum id=2733] and then use it again to show a different forum it will only show the first one.

Is this not possible with shortcode?

Could I create a graphic bar and separate groups of forum titles like in the page I linked to?

Thank you for whoever guides in the path of rest as I have exhausted these forums in an attempt to answer these questions.

ok, so try

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-style-pack/

and go to

dashboars>settings>bbp style pack>forum templates to get one that is closer to what you want

and use

https://wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-private-groups/

to have private groups

Thank you Robin for your response. It’s much appreciated. I actually had already tried that route exactly as you have described plus I probably didn’t make my question clear on the private part.

Here is the link to my test page of forums – http://imaginationfoundry.com/forumhome/

I made “Pasteboard Heaven” a category and then packet of fun with PH its parent. Even though I chose Alternate on BPQ my site is creating an indent instead of bringing it down one notch on its on line.

Regarding the private portion I meant I didn’t want the private groups to display on my main forum index page.

Any thoughts on why my bbpress is creating an indent?

Any thoughts on how to hide th private groups from displaying on my forum page?

Thank you Robin or any others.

I’m not seeing this, can you say where this is appearing

on the other aspect, I would need a better problem definition – what is clear to you isn’t to me – sorry but I am limited on time I can spend looking for differences.

I certainly understand on both counts.

Let’s just take the main issue that I have.

I create a category and then a forum under that category. The problem is that the forum is indenting to the right under the category instead of showing up as one line as I have requested per the BBP Style Pac template.

You can see the indent of the forum under the categories here for visual reference: http://imaginationfoundry.com/forums/

The question is do you or anyone else know why this might be occurring?

Thank you,

Thanks for posting back

To remove the indent and the left hand border,
put the following into the custom css tab of the plugin

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  border-left: none;
  padding-left: 0px;
}

If you still want the border, then just

#bbpress-forums .bbp-forums-list {
  padding-left: 0px;
}
