I have tried a lot of options for maximizing the forum width and trying to hide my side menu. None work except for using the “Full Width Page” option but that only hides the side menu on the forums main page. Sub-forums will still display the menu.

I’m using the 2014 theme. Any help would be great. Thanks!

I’m starting to get it. I didn’t realize some people were creating a bbpress.php file. Anyways, it seems to work until I click on a topic. Then the right menu comes back. Any thoughts?

The first forum page uses the full width option. I don’t know how to set that for sub-forum pages?

Thanks!

I finally figured it out. No need to use the “Full Page Width” option or any other techniques found about the web. If you installed a bbPress forum and everything is set to its defaults. Just use the following…

Select “Customize”
Select “Additional CSS”
Add/Paste the following…

.bbpress #content-sidebar {      
display: none;
}

#bbpress-forums {
  margin-left: auto !important;
  margin-right: auto !important;
  width: 170% !important;
}

Forum link in first post is incorrect now. A redirect is being setup though as that is my old link to another forum I use to use. New forum link is, http://www.posemotion.com/forums
