New user, first post 🙂 I am using the Reign theme by WBCom, and I really like it, except for the layout of the BBPress forum index page, and the topic page. I’d really rather not have to switch to a new theme (already paid for Reign, don’t want to pay for another theme!) so I’d like to see if I can alter it myself to get what I want.

Some general info: I taught myself html back in the 90s, so I’m OK with html and css, but I never got as far as php. However I can probably grasp the basics.

I tried out the Youzify plugin and it does a lot of the layout styling that I want, but changes other things that I don’t want. Would it be possible to use the code from this to guide me to make the alterations I want?

I’m stuck at the start: which file/s would I find the layouts? (css is about styling, I’m looking for table structure, where information is displayed, that sort of thing).

Thanks!

This should be what you want

bbp style pack

Thanks, I’ve actually already installed that and it does fix some of the issues I have, but not the main ones (they are a bit more unusual, thanks to the theme, so I need to alter the code somewhere).

I’ve put a couple of screenshots online… for example, this is the page for one of the forums. For some reason the theme has removed a lot of info, there’s no header to the table, use of user avatar.

Second example is a post with replies; I used a plugin to add user rank and post counts (your plugin again actually!) and it’s displaying them in a weird place, and adding a very prominent post count number for no reason.

The theme creator won’t help (too involved) so I’m wondering if I can alter it myself. Perhaps not…

Hello, that plugin only lets me change the style. But I want to change the text. For example, the text “create a topic” to “create a proposal”, what can I do? Thank you

Thanks, but that way doesn’t work. I thought there was another way. Thank you very much for answering.
