Please; How can I install a template for forum only, not blog too.
I mean bbPress template only.
Also, I want a simple, fast, and SEO friendly theme.
TIA

bbpress works with wordpress so you have to install wordpress and then if you don’t want to use the bolg just don’t create articles.

@ricsca2
thanks for your comment.
I already have a WordPress blog.
Recently, I installed bbPress.. Now I am looking for a special template for the forum.

Not quite sure if this is the answer, but if a good looking bbpress is what you are after, then this should help

bbpress does not have a template since it’s a plugin. You can style your bbpress via css so that it looks like your wordpress theme.

Alternatively, there are some wordpress themes which have built-in styles for bbpress.

You can check some in Themeforest: https://themeforest.net/search/bbpress

Very cool, excellent, very useful.

But I wanted two things that I couldn’t find:
1. There is no option to modify the number of characters in the title (default is 80 characters only).
2. I didn’t find an option to remove these large spaces around the “see green” username.

Thank you for every help..and I am waiting for your help in the last matter

This code will truncate the title

add_filter ('bbp_new_topic_pre_title' , 'rew_limit_topic_length' ) ;
add_filter ('bbp_edit_topic_pre_title' , 'rew_limit_topic_length' ) ;

function rew_limit_topic_length  ($topic_title) {
	$length = 40 ;
	if (strlen($topic_title) > $length) {
		$topic_title = substr($topic_title, 0, $length);
	}
return $topic_title ;
}

Put this in your child theme’s function file –

ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/functions.php

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

or use

for your second issue, it is site/theme specific, I’d need to see the site and a real example

try adding this to your theme’s custom css

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {

#bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-reply-author, #bbpress-forums .bbp-body div.bbp-topic-author {
	float: none;
	margin: 0px; 
	min-height: 2px;
}

}
