Hi !
I tried making my forums page full-width, but didn’t manage, so if you could help, it would be great !
I’ve already read this page : https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#8-make-sure-bbpress-uses-the-page-template-we-want (but it didn’t really help me :/)

Here’s a short video to explain you exactly my problem : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Ekrjb64GxA

Thanks a lot for helping, would be really great ! 🙂

—
My WP version : 4.0 (last in date)
My bbPress version : last in date
My theme : Anew by Alxmedia
My website’s forum : http://www.amitabha-sat.com/forums (password : default)

you can try this

#bbpress .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px;
}

else try any of these

.bbpress .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px;
}

#bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px;
}

.bbpress-forums .col-2cl .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px;
}

come back if it didnt work

[Mael Shanti]

Where should I paste this ? custom.css ?

Many thanks anyway 🙂

[Robkk]

child theme stylesheet
jetpack custom css module
other custom css plugin

[Mael Shanti]

Thanks ! I tried one by one you suggestions, by adding them to my jetpack css stylesheet, and unfortunately, it did not work…
Any idea ? :/

[Robkk]

i did not create a page for the forum archive using the shortcode.

but i did get full width on all the bbpress post type pages by creating a bbpress.php then using this css code.

.bbpress .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px!important;
}

[Mael Shanti]

Looks like it works ! Thanks a lot, that’s great !
If you have any idea regarding another issue I’ve got, I would be very pleased <3

Hello. Thanks for sharing this information. I am new to WP, so not sure I’ve done this properly. I do have custom CSS and was able to add the CSS you suggested:

.bbpress .main {
background: none repeat-y right 0;
padding-right: 0px!important;
}

But it seemed to have no impact. I think I’m missing the part about creating the bbpress.php file. I made a copy of my page.php in my theme directory and renamed it to bbpress.php. Was that the appropriate step or have I missed something? Thanks!

[Robkk]

@bsilverop are you using the anew theme?? if your not your going to have to use something different in css probably

[luisc110]

Ok guys i did it for myself
In style.css (appearence -> editor) add this

.bbpress #secondary {      
display: none;
}

#secondary is your widget / sidebar

then add

.bbpress #primary {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

#primary is the part of the page that you want to be full width

@luisc110

Glad you resolved your own issue. L)

I can’t get this to work. That go in the theme’s stylesheet? I’m still getting the pesky sidebar. I’ve tried everything, read tons of posts, Why isn’t “hide sidebar” a standard option? It’s like going into a coffee shop and them telling me there is no milk or sugar to put in my coffee. lol, sorry for being sarcastic this is just very stressful.

I created a new page, I added the shortcode, I choose the template with no sidebar on the page I created, and bbpress just ignores it completely. Is that code meant to go in the bbpress css file, that makes no sense to me since it’s a plugin. Maybe it’s the theme I’m using.

[luisc110]

use my code it functions but please Read Carefully

[Robkk]

@intristin

Why isn’t “hide sidebar” a standard option?

It is because all themes are different.

Post your theme name and maybe a the link to it. (hopefully it is a free theme)

Do not create a forum page as it will most likely only affect that one specific page and not the rest of the forum pages.

You can create a new topic and then I can help you one on one instead of bumping up this topic again.

[Josh Campbell]

Just tested this out on a newer theme and the css should look like this:

.bbpress div#primary.content-area {
    margin: 0 auto;
    max-width: 980px;
    width: 100%;
}

Also, you can now just add this to Appearance > Edit CSS > Additional CSS.

don’t work for me can you help me ?

thanks a lot !!
