My bbpress is having trouble displaying stylesheets correctly. I am using the default style that bbpress comes with. I have it installed locally on a test environment.

The admin section looks exactly how it should, but the forum itself does not. I have noticed that the path to the stylesheet is incorrect.

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://localhostbbpress/bb-templates/kakumei/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

notice how after localhost the “” is the wrong way.

Not sure if anyone can tell me how to fix it.

in the admin page, the stylesheet path is correct

<link rel=”stylesheet” href=”http://localhost/bbpress/bb-admin/style.css&#8221; type=”text/css” />

my config.php looks like this

// If your bbPress URL is http://bbpress.example.com/forums/ , the examples would be correct.

// Adjust the domain and path to suit your actual URL.

// Just the domain name; no directories or path. There should be no trailing slash here.

$bb->domain = ‘http://localhost&#8217;; // Example: ‘http://bbpress.example.com&#8217;

// There should be both a leading and trailing slash here. ‘/’ is fine if the site is in root.

$bb->path = ‘/bbpress/’; // Example: ‘/forums/’
