I just installed bbPress through the plugin panel and added some test forums. It seems like there is a very large empty DIV that I don’t know how to get rid of causing a large space between the forum header and the forums. Any ideas on how to get rid of it?

It’s only showing up on the main forums home page and not any other pages when you navigate into the forums or posts.

Currently using the Uncode theme. WP, plugins, themes, etc are all up to date.

Forums are at: http://foxtrotbattleline.com/forums

it is theme related

and yes you have a theme item of

<div class="dummy" style="padding-top: 100%;"></div>

and this sits below the header and creates this space.

which method in item 3 of this link are you using ?

Looks like I was just lazy and hoped the plugin did it all. I just created a page with the same slug and it looks like it’s working now.

Cheers!

great – glad you are fixed !!

I actually was going through more and found the same problem on the user page. Thoughts?

looks like same theme related issue – you need to raise with your theme provider

[@robin-w Moderator 4 years, 5 months ago]

thinking about it, putting this in the custom css part of your theme should work

.dummy {
	display: none;
}

Thanks for the responses. I tried what you said and it worked but effected other parts of the theme so I’m going to add it to the list of things for Undsgn.

Thanks again!

no problem !

Were you ever able to resolve this problem with UnCode? I’m having the same issue where the breadbrumbs are being displayed, and there’s a huge dummy div taking up a lot of space above user profile pages (perhaps others I haven’t looked at yet). I asked UnCode Support and they directed me to check with Buddy Press. When I use the CSS provided above it hides other elements on the site like images on the WooCommerce store front.

I’ve tried both “Methods” of deploying the forums with the same result.

since this is a paid theme, we have no access to it to see what it is doing.
