bbPress Full Width Page

Hi @ricks03

Please correct me if I’m wrong, you have created a forum through BBPress and then you are displaying it on a page by using the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] on a new page and you want that page to be full-width?

Please confirm if this is the scenario. If yes, then you can choose that page’s template as full-width from Page Attributes.

Hmm. I wasn’t using a short link, just accessing the forums through the default
/forums/

According to the bbPress documentation, I need to copy full-width-page.php to bbpress.php and place it in the root of my child theme, but this doesn’t appear to work.

It’s not a bad idea, so I just tried that.

If my new page is /forums (which it lets me do) the page doesn’t get wide, but gets mangled.

If my new page is /forums2 it’s the correct width, but mangled.

Can you elaborate on what issue you are facing upon copying full-width-page.php to bbpress.php?

When I copy it over, the theme for bbpress doesn’t use the full page.

This was resolved for me by the bbPress team by their making modifications to the
full-width-page.php > bbpress.php file and my local custom CSS.

Change:

<?php Responsive\responsive_in_wrapper(); // wrapper hook. ?>
<main id=”primary” class=”content-area col-940″ role=”main”>

to

<?php Responsive\responsive_in_wrapper(); // wrapper hook. ?>
<main id=”primary” class=”content-area bbpress-area col-940″ role=”main”>

and
add this to the custom css section of your theme

.bbpress-area {
width: 100% !important;
}

and now supporting bbpress!
