Full Width for bbpress forums root page

    @leopolds

    Hi,

    I am using Twenty Fourteen and bbpress. How can I make the forums root page full width?

    I want to remove the sidebar, center the content and remove the post-like forum names after the listing section. Basically, I want this page to act as a full-width page, not a post/forum listing.

    My forums root page is http://leopolds.com/discussions/

    I want it to look like http://leopolds.com/bbs/ (created using shortcodes)

    Thank you very much.

    (I was able to achieve full-width style in individual forum page by using widget visibility function. But this doesn’t work for the forums root page.)

    This is the post-like listing I am talking about:

    Hi Robin,

    thanks for the reply.

    I did try to create a bbpress.php with full-width template pasted into it. But it is not exactly what I had in mind. Content is not centered, and there are still post-like forum listings.

    Like now: http://leopolds.com/discussions/

    The only thing changed was the removal of the sidebar. Is it possible the problem is with the Twenty Fourteen theme and its page templates?

    Please help.

    So, you want to have 100% width?

    Search in your main style css, in general it is style.css, for this code-part:

    .site-content .entry-header, .site-content .entry-content, .site-content .entry-summary, .site-content .entry-meta, .page-content

    There you can find “max-width:”

    Change it to 100%.

    If you do so, it might change other parts of your site as well. To prevent this you might want to add a new part to your css, and leave the above mentioned part untouched.

    .site-content .forum .entry-header, .site-content .forum .entry-content, .site-content .forum .entry-summary, .site-content .forum .entry-meta, .page-content {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 100%;
    }
