Pencil Unread not working in my new theme

  • Brilliant plugin. I loved using it on our old site… but now I am updating to a new theme and it no longer works . Of all the plugins, this one looks fantastic and, I feel, works the best.

    Any suggestions? It is definitely the theme that isn’t rendering it because the old theme with the latest versions of everything still works. Is there some code I need to add somewhere?

    Cheers

    Hi, could you check your forums / topics gets the plugin CSS classes ?
    Each line should get the class “bbppu-unread” or “bbppu-read” : if those classes are set, then the plugin works and it is probably a styling issue with your theme.
    Got a live URL so I could check ?

    Yes, I believe it is a styling issue…

    What do you recommend I do so I can get it working?

    Indead, the CSS classes are set.
    I don’t know why the plugin styles are not showing…

    It should apply to
    .bbp-body .hentry.bbppu-read>li:first-child
    and
    .bbp-body .hentry.bbppu-unread>li:first-child, among others.

    1 / your forum theme do not have an “hentry” class for ul items, do u know why ?
    2 / even if I add that class with the web inspector, it does not show.

    Anyway, the classes are set so you still can customize it for your needs.
    I guess adding

    .bbppu-read {
background: yellow!important;
}
.bbppu-unread {
background: blue!important;
}

    for example, should make it.
