HI,

My my name is E.J. and I’m enjoying your product!

After updating to that latest version of WordPress and bbPress, I began to experience truncations in of replies to the topic threads in my forums. Everything was working well before the upgrades but now it appears that it’s not calling the proper CSS styles to the reply areas after the initial post, perhaps there’s a conflict with the theme styles. . . I’m not sure.

If there’s any advice you can offer I would greatly appreciate it.

…………………………….

Here are the stats to my site::

WordPress: 3.4.1

bbPress: 2.1 – bbPres Default -/plugins/bbpress/bbp-theme-compat

(Theme) Custom Community: 1.819.1 by Themekraft

You can see an example here:

Thank you for your time!

You have the following CSS on your site which is restricting the height of the replies.

div.reply {
    height: 32px;
}

I didn’t search heavily, but it looks like it is coming directly from the page, I can’t find the stylesheet where that is coming from, good luck hunting!

I found it, on line 78 of your theme it looks like it has an inline stylesheet, so it is directly on the page.

It might be best to seperate this out to a CSS file so you can hunt down problems easier.

Most likely it’s because the theme uses .reply for comment styling somewhere, conflicting with bbPress replies. Seen this happen in a few places already. Could also be that your theme compat setting got switched to the default instead of the old TwentTen; switching it back to the table based layout might help.

Thanks Lynq I’ll see what I can find.

Hi John,
Thanks for the tip but the forum stretches the full width of the site, covering the left sidebar and pushing the right one beneath the forum completely.

I think this is a theme related issue was well.

I just wanted to say Thanks for the help guys!
Everything is looking as it should now, I really appreciate it!
