On a smaller device the “Forum Headings” are one above the other. How can I declare the size in
em’s instead of px ?

link to an example on your site please

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

The site is still under construction and not yet published. So I made screenshots and placed them on my website. Here you can see how it looks on a computer monitor

And this is as it looks like on small tablet

On a smartphone it’s worse.

BTW – How can I completely remove this Search field (SUCHE)?

it would go in then custom css area of your theme, normally

dashboard>appearance

then try ‘customise’ and look for ‘additional css’ or ‘custom css’

or your theme may have its own are for setting in that part of dashboard

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

That’s what I tried, but it didn’t work. I Think I’ll have to change the theme again. Do you recommend a theme for simple use of bbPress?

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

you should not need to change theme !

So you put this code in additional css – yes ?

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

Yes. In the Theme and in the bbPress Style Pack.

Nothing worked.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

ok, I’d suggest that your browser is not refreshing – browsers download the css files, but to keep website speed up, then only do so every so often. phones are particularly bad at keeping old css files, and not updating them/

Try closing your browser and reopening, or if you can accessing your site form a computer/phone that has not accessed it before.

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

No, that didn’t work either. I’m configuring here on my Computer and we tested it with my husband’s phone, that had no contact to the site before.

I can also test it by moving the “Align Default Max Width” adjuster in the General Options Menu of the Theme’s customizer.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

ok, changing themes will not I think get you any further. Without being able to see your site, I can’t really help further, as I can’t examine what is being downloaded to your browser, and what is either not taking effect or being overridden.

I take it you have been amending the 1.5em to see whether it changes – I just put a figure in there.

as a last guess, you could try

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-info {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-topic-count {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-reply-count {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

#bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles li.bbp-forum-freshness {
	font-size: 1.5em !important;
}

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

ok, my husband says that I can give you the link publicly though it’s still staging:

http://www.exoten-forum/site

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

sorry that doesn’t resolve – ie doesn’t go anywhere

Hmmm… can’t reach this page

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

Sorry. Forgot the country suffix

http://www.exoten-forum.de/site

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

ok, so can you put the css above in the custom css part of style pack please

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

Done.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

so is this code ONLY in style pack, if it is also in the theme, please remove it from there

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

Done ok.

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

ok, that all works, you just need to decide what size .em you want and put that in the custom css

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

Thank you very much, I’ll try it.

[@pflanzenoma Participant 4 years ago]

So, that works now. Thank you very much for your help. See, I’m an almost 74 years old former German teacher and used to make my websites myself in plain HTML. It’s the first time that I use WordPress because it was recommended to me, but it’s still a sort of blackbox for me.

So I fear that I’ll have a lot more questions until the bbs can go on air.

Have a nice time
Pflanzenoma

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years ago]

that’s no problem, happy to help if I can!!
