Hi there,
I’ve created a forum with bbpress and it’s covered in bullet points. It is referencing my theme really well apart from this one failing. I don’t want to turn them off for the whole site as they are used frequently else where. I just need to turn them off for for bbpress. Can someone please advise me how I would do this???
Someones help would be greatly appreciated.

I’ve tried to post a screenshot but the img function seems to be a bit sticky??

[@royho Participant 12 years ago]

This is done in CSS. You should use a dev tool like firebug or chrome dev tools and inspect the element in question. It will tell you what CSS rule is styling that part.

What’s your forum’s URL / website addres, imagei?

[@imagei Participant 12 years ago]

I tried to screenshot it because I’ve set it up behind a hosts entry. here we go again:

[@imagei Participant 12 years ago]

nope….
OK – here is some of the code from firebug. :

#bbpress-forums ul {
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
}
#bbpress-forums li {
list-style: none outside none;
margin: 0;
}
These are the styles that I would have thought controlled the bulleting of lists but the code seems to already indicate no style for the unordered lists?
I have tried adding both:

list-style: none;

and:
list-style: none !important;

and:
list-style: none outside none !important;

to all of the #bbpress style entries that I can find (only in firebug preview, not actual changes) but the little blighters remain steadfast.

Sorry but I can’t help if I can’t see the site.

[@imagei Participant 12 years ago]

Hey Nathan,
Thanks for helping out. If you paste this entry into your hosts file:

109.73.162.147 apa.uk.com

, you’ll see the Forum at:

apa.uk.com/forums

just dont use the www. As you can see, each entry is peppered with bullets. Thanks again for your input.

[@imagei Participant 12 years ago]

OK, in the absence of any input, I’ve been firebug fishing for a way of selectively removing all the bullets from bbpress, but not from my main theme. To the the next guy or girl who searches for a resolution to this, I hope this works for you too – it has finally brought me success.

#bbpress-forums ul > li:before
{
content: none;
}

@imagei, I have the same issue but tried to figure out what you posted here for a fix. I would be grateful if you can help me to fix this. I am about to pull my hair out. Thank you!!!

Unsubscribe, apparently I have to leave a comment to do so.

[@1dayjapan Participant 11 years, 10 months ago]

Do you mean I need to unsubscribe to this forum for you to answer? How will I know if you reply if I do? Thanks if you can help me out!
