Sorry for not responding for a little while.

Where do I put this and how do I make sure it doesn’t get removed when I update BuddyPress or BBPress?

[kjgbriggs]

checking the Functions file, there is a huge amount of php requirements specified at the top (13 of them), I am guessing this will mess with me trying to make a child theme out of it.

On a lighter note.
The CSS files are included separately so I have the styles for BBPress and BuddyPress separated out for me.

I have tried adding these to my custom CSS, but they don’t seem to change that much, just the overall placement of things.

[kjgbriggs]

Sorry for not providing enough info.

My main theme is called Divi and is created by Elegant Themes.
The theme I want to use just for BuddyPress stuff is called Oblivion and is created by Sky Warrior Themes.

An example of the BuddyPress forums nd layouts is here on the Oblivion demo:

http://skywarriorthemes.com/oblivion/forums/

I just want the styling for the BuddyPress and BBPress stuff from Oblivion in Divi.

I did a bit of Googling and came to the conclusion that the best way to do this was to use a Child Theme.

Divi is updated quite a lot so I would either have to not update anymore or lose the styling if I were to add the styles to Divi directly.

There is little information I can find on having a child theme for specific things such as buddyPress though and I am unsure of how to do it.

How exactly do I use this in a link?

[kjgbriggs]

Not entirely sure where to put this, but tried it in text but didn’t work.

I am unsure of how to use the data I now have for the profile field.

I am sure it is not hard to display somewhere but I am having trouble working out how to do this without editing the core BuddyPress or BBPress files, otherwise when I update I will lose all of this.

Update

I have managed to get a custom profile field only visible by admins, now all I need to be able to do is display that information in those places listed, I’m hoping someone knows how.

Additional:
If I add the “Header Label” (the field I am talking about) as a Profile Field, how do I make it visible to ONLY admins, but display it’s data on the profile page and forums to all?

To show you what I mean, I have made a snapshot of the field.

It looks like this from the frontend.

What I want to do

I would like to :

A. Make this field ONLY editable by administrators.
B. IF the field has anything in, display it in 2 places (listed below)
B1. At the top of the profile page (as shown in the WPSymposium shot at the top)
B2. On the forum page, shown in the bottom mockup of the first image

At the moment, we have no list for this, or any way of displaying this, as we have a small staff list I was just going to go through them and add it manually.

I thought the best way to do this would be to have a field on the users profile (which only an admin can see) that allows for a string to be inputted which is displayed on the users profile and below them on BBPress forums.

This could obviously be done with forum roles as well but I was trying to steer clear of that as it generally means another plugin running.

I am unsure of how this would be able to help me add a feature but here are the answers you requested.

[kjgbriggs]

Sorry for the confusion, I have just switched FROM WPSymposium TO BuddyPress and BBPress as I believed they would offer a much more widely supported and updated experience and a lot more features, which they do.
I believe I have managed to get rid of these lines by adding this to my CSS for anyone else having this problem.

.bbpress #main-content .container:before {
display: none !important;
}

[kjgbriggs]

I think this is a BuddyPress thing as it would not be limited to forums but displayable on the profiles page and users in admin, which im pretty sure is BuddyPress stuff.

[kjgbriggs]

This was one of the first things I checked, but for sanities sake I tested it again, when using with the same theme on no CSS, the line still appears.
I am unable to test with a default theme as I only have Divi on my development site, but I will be testing this next.

[kjgbriggs]

What I have managed to do is force the sections to full width with CSS, but I am getting odd white lines on the generated pages, I have created a post to try and identify what this is, I think it is the sidebar, but have no way to remove it or even confirm that.
