Realized it would be useful to post the website URL, herp derp.
http://www.animusesports.com/forums/
Also, is there any way I can get the descriptions to be visible again? Thanks!
@j0n4h
Are you talking about the spacing between each group of forums? If so, this is how the code is written and it is part of the desired layout. I just recently used this same code and my forums look great! You can compare to yours and see if there’s a difference?

@skisma Thanks for the response! But no, the default space is great! I posted the url just above your response and you can see the space I’m referring to. Seems to originate in the bbp-footer.
its no problem with the file
its just that the footer is a different color than it should be
this should make it look better
#bbpress-forums li.bbp-footer {
background: #383838;
border-top: none;
font-weight: bold;
padding: 8px;
text-align: center;
}
@j0n4h Oh my bad, you must have posted that link before I refreshed my page. Yea that is strange, did you create a folder within your child theme called bbpress? This is how it’s setup in my directory: child theme>bbpress>loop-forums.php
Edit: Oh it looks like @Robkk got you.
@robkk So, that should go in my child theme’s css file? Also, how do I just disable the footer for the forums? Not sure what would go in there anyhow. I can’t seem to find where I can access bbpress footer options in the admin panel. Thanks for the response! 🙂
@skisma Actually, unrelated, but would you mind telling me where the line of code is located to change “freshness”? I know there’s that plugin, but it seems excessive to use it to change one thing.
well really your suppose to put bbPress plugin CSS in a folder called CSS in your child theme in a file called bbpress.css , more info here
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
but adding the code to your child themes css file is fine
jetpack’s custom css module is fine too.
to remove the footer completely
remove all this code in the file.
<li class="bbp-footer">
<div class="tr">
<p class="td colspan4"> </p>
</div><!-- .tr -->
</li><!-- .bbp-footer -->
@j0n4h Actually I’m not really sure. I’m working with a partner who does most of the back end stuff, I’ll let you know if I find out!
@robkk Sorry for the noob question, but what file specifically do I remove it from?
the loop-forums.php file you downloaded from github
and in the same file you can change word Freshness to whatever you want.
just change this
<li class="bbp-forum-freshness"><?php _e( 'Freshness', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
to something like this for example.
<li class="bbp-forum-freshness"><?php _e( 'Last Post', 'bbpress' ); ?></li>
@robkk Ok, amazing, thanks. So, one more thing (hopefully), does the footer do anything important at all in bbpress inherently? In other words, will I be deleting functionality in parts of the forum? Is there an option to remove its visibility from this page alone? Thanks again, man. I really appreciate your time.
does the footer do anything important at all in bbpress inherently?
not really, its just for design really.
like bbpress.org doesnt even show the footer for the forums , topics , and replies loops.
and the file loop-forums.php is only for the forum archive page, so it only shows up on that page.
@robkk Alright, thanks a lot!
@robkk Me again! lol So, I’ve tried posting a thread twice now in troubleshooting about a related issue – however the thread doesn’t appear in the forums or in topics created via my user profile. What’s the deal?
@j0n4h
oh sorry for the late reply, try to keep the number of links to 1 or 2 in your topic next time , the spam prevention measure bbPress did could be stopping it if you posted more than the minimum amount of links.
