I couldn’t even post a topic in their forum every time I had a question… 80% of the time this is what I got

This probably needs to be looked on why you have this issue, can you post replies. I did post a reply to one of your topics here, so see if you can reply. Make sure to keep your reply in one peice and not write message after message so quick or the forum flood control will get you.

I had to install 26 other plugins and pay a total of $250 a month for the plugins I would have needed

What bbPress plugins cost 250 dollars a month??

The hierarchy layout has always been in some developers minds, also I think someone is actually trying to implement this into core.

I replied to the topic you created.

It seems that you have gotten most of the styles fixed from what you originally posted.

As for your topic disappearing from your profile, maybe a moderator accidentally marked you as a spam user, but I am just making assumptions and will talk to the developers about it later.

Well there have been more important tickets for them to focus on , that is why you see it has been bumped a few times.

And also that this is really just how the category and forums looks in a layout, not really a feature , but just how it looks. Unless it really does require specific arguments for the query.

I could ask them later if any code in the ticket is what they are looking for to possibly add something like it to the core sooner.

yeah there are a few ways to do this.

Some better than others.

The easiest way is for users to create forums,

and categories for those forums,

then to put this loop-forums.php file into your child into a folder called bbpress.

Then you should have the same layout in the end.

If you need more help please reply back here.

For people searching for themes that just work out of the box you look for WordPress themes with support of bbPress.

bbPress also could work with any theme , but it might require a little work to help with making it work nicely , but it wouldn’t be too difficult to do. Some themes may not need any additional work and just work right out of the box also.

In the end it depends on your theme and how bbPress would handle it.

These links would hopefully be helpful for trying to make your current WordPress theme support bbPress better.

If you need any help with making your current theme support bbPress make a topic on bbpress.org

There you go @kanjipad made the trac ticket

I have no intention of paying to be choked by someone else’s ideas, or their personal or professional limitations. I also would not trust a total stranger to create something important for me. Maybe if I didn’t care about limitations and was too lazy to learn to code.Now I feel the purpose of this entire discussion was simply to get me to pay a WordPress coder. No thank you…..I am grateful to have moved to a real hosting service with excellent tech support. I’ve moved on.

It just seemed natural to recommend hiring a developer to do these simple but custom tasks from your ideas for you since you do not have time to learn code again and so you can just focus on your business.

It is great that you are sorted out and are happy where you are at now. And hopefully you won’t go into any stressful situations like you have had before.

I can’t remember all the issues I faced in getting bbPress to work with twentyfifteen, but it certainly did not look any good

This is all the CSS code i needed to fix any small design issues that bbPress was inheriting from twenty-fifteen.

If you needed any help or need any help with bbPress then just post a topic on https://bbpress.org/forums/ . This took me about 5 minutes to come up with.

#bbpress-forums .entry-content a img {
	display: inline;
	vertical-align: baseline;
}

#bbpress-forums .hentry {
	margin: 0;
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 480px) {
	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-author,
	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-author,
	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-author {
		float: left;
		text-align: center;
		width: 100%;
	}

	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-forum-content,
	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-topic-content,
	#bbpress-forums div.bbp-reply-content {
		margin-left: 0;
		padding: 12px 12px 12px 0;
		text-align: left;
		display: block;
	}
}

and like i said earlier the only weird issue is the search functionality, the last time i remember someone in the bbPress forums pointed out this issue and all you had to do was copy the templates to your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

Replies ran outside of the provided frame, for instance, cutting off the right-hand end of most lines. Many other things like headings had awkward spacing so that words ran into each other.

i did not encounter these issues but just so you know if you had BuddyPress installed too that they are having a some issues with theme compatibility with twenty-fifteen and don’t confuse them both.

If i am wrong and if you think it is bbPress and probably not some other plugin causing issues then point me out on it, and i can probably fix the style issues.
