Layout of the main forum is scrambled when I go back

    @wannial

    Hey all, first post here and hope someone can help me.
    I’ve put a bbpress forum in my wordpress website and created a Forum button in the main navigation bar

    http://www.hardwarehome.nl

    When I click this button the forum is shown perfectly.
    When I then klick on a subforum like reviews it’s still perfect, but then!
    If I klick forums, not on the main navigation bar, but in the forum menu itself, it brings me back to the forum (notice the sligt difference in URL /forum when coming form the menu bar, and /forums when coming trough the forum) but it’s all scrambled up!

    Anyone any suggestions on this one?

    Try changing the ‘slug’ in the settings to forum

    Dashboard>settings>forums and look for forum root slug

    unfortunately I can’t get it to work after trying some different settings.

    trying for the 100 time to post this text, hope it works this time (trying it without links to screenshot sthis time)

    when I change forum root slug from forums to forum, it now allso screws up the forum page when I access it from the main website bar.

    I cleared the tickbox at the forum prefix, no change either )but now the url says forum instead of forums everywhere, but still no fix.

    I can only post short replies, if I make it to long it won’t post, I have no idea why, so sorry for the many replies.

    When I change the forum slug to a completely different text like test, it still screw up my forum layout as can be seen here

    ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this

    https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8

    the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.

    Read this first for background

    Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

    so try the following

    1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
    2, edit the bbpress.php file
    line 12:
    <?php post_class(); ?>
    to
    <?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
    4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
    <?php the_content(); ?>
    to
    $content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
    Save this file and reload it to your theme

    As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme

    Functions files and child themes – explained !

    but either way keep a copy of it.

    Come back if this isn’t clear

    I’m having some problems, I cannot reply in my original post?!
    When I write my message and I hit post, it does something, refreshes the page, and nothing happens, no new message or anything?!

    So i’m very sorry for making a new thread, but I see no other option (i’ve been trying to reply for 24hours now without success from multiple systems)

    So this was my reply on this topic

    Thank you for your reply, but when I change forum root slug from forums to forum, it now allso screws up the forum page when I access it from the main website bar.

    I cleared the tickbox at the forum prefix, no change either )but now the url says forum instead of forums everywhere, but still no fix.

    If you have any other options for me, please let me know.
    For now thank you very much!

    To clearify things I´ve made some screenshots

    WHen I use the website menu bar and klick on forum, everything is fine!

    WHen I klick on a subforum, still fine!

    View post on imgur.com

    But when In the forum string I klick on forum, things go bad..

    As a result

    Hello Robin,

    I don;t know what the issue is with this forum, but that last reply with the pictures is the post I’ve tried to post 2 days ago…

    I already solved it with custom css
    http://www.pc-helpforum.be/topic/55670-wordpress-bbpress-plugin/#entry437428

    (your reply wasn’t visible at that time either).

    So again I don’t know what’s wrong with this forum that post get delayed posted for over a day, but it isn’t really helpful.
