The h1 topic headings in bbpress have the disadvantage that, instead of wrapping to the next line when they are very long, they are squeezed together on the same line (which often happens on mobile devices in particular). What solutions are there for this? All CSS measures have been tried so far without success.

You can reproduce this issue when you go to to this page >> in mobile view.

Thank you so much 🙂

The link only works for logged in users, but if I have understood the problem, then if you have FTP capability :

find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/single-topic.php

transfer this to your pc and edit

line 21 contains the h1 tag, so you can amend this to what you want

and save

create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress

where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme

Then transfer the file you saved above and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/single-topic.php

bbPress will now use this template instead of the original

Thank you, but there is no existing file named single-topic.php in the folder (just content-single-topic.php, but that does not contain any “h1” tag).

After extensive testing and numerous attempts, I finally found the solution (thanks to ChatGPT). I would like to post it here because other users may encounter the same problem and appreciate a quick solution, and so that the effort is at least worthwhile for others. Here is the CSS code, which simply needs to be inserted at the bottom of the Customizer under “Custom CSS”:

.entry-title {
  white-space: normal !important;
  word-break: break-word !important;
  overflow-wrap: break-word !important;
  hyphens: auto !important;
  line-height: 1.2 !important;
  max-width: 100% !important;
  text-align: center !important;
}

thanks, apologies for the wrong route – after a further check, the title is given by the theme, not bbpress.

but thanks for a solution
