@mercimeJust add the following to your theme’s style.css or custom.css file
`li.bbp-forum-info,
li.bbp-topic-title {
width: 50% !important;
}`
@mercimeYou’re welcome. Thanks for posting what the plugin conflict was.
Marking this as resolved.
trailmix5I just did a lot of searching and the only thing I came up with was a thread that was over 1 1/2 years old. It’s https://buddypress.org/community/groups/how-to-and-troubleshooting/forum/topic/hide-general-settings/
Since it’s such an old thread and my php code knowledge is mainly copying/pasting with a bit of manipulation…I wanted to ask you what you thought about it first. I wasn’t sure how the newer version of Buddypress would react and I was scared to break my site…ha. I’d obviously like to deal with this situation via CSS because it’s easy and it won’t be affected if an update overwrites my functions.php…but I’m down for whatever works. Thanks again for the help.
tweekageCrap. Couldn’t figure it out. I can’t seem to find out why the forum doesnt push all the way over s0 at least “Freshness” is on the end too. 
If you want to firebug it maybe it’s something stupid im missing?
PeaceLoveAnarchyI do have quite a few plugins on the go, but the only one I had issues re-activating was bulletproof-security.
I think that the original problem was caused by setting up the forum after applying the security measures in bulletproof… think I may have stepped on it’s toes so to speak!
It all appears to up up and running smoothly again now! Thanks again for your help!
@mercimeGood for you. Good luck. Curious which plugin caused the lock-out.
PeaceLoveAnarchyhooray! back in admin!
now hopefully I can undo whatever it was that I did! fingers crossed!
Thanks
@mercimerename buddypress folder back to normal in wp-content…
then just rename the plugins folder to e.g. wp-content/plugins-xxx and that will take care of all the plugins. then after you get in wp-admin, rename the plugins folder back to normal.
activate buddypress, activate bp-default theme first, then activate the plugins one by one.
PeaceLoveAnarchyis it worth renaming all of them and reinstating one by one to find where the problem is, or will that just make things worse?!
PeaceLoveAnarchyhmm, getting worse methinks!

@mercimerename BuddyPress plugin folder to e.g. wp-content/plugins/buddypress-xxx
PeaceLoveAnarchy@mercime still won’t let me in, front end down too after that change…
@mercime@peaceloveanarchy Rename Custom Community theme folder in server to e.g. wp-content/themes/custom-community-xxx via ftp/filemanager/etc. then go to wp-admin
@mercime@ript247 not quite sure what you mean. Your issue is not related to this topic so do start a new topic . and provide more information than what you gave above https://buddypress.org/community/groups/creating-extending/forum/
modemlooperuse firebug browser plugin to figure out CSS don’t edit core CSS files. alwas use a custom CSS file so you can update themes and plugins without loosing your customization.
tweekagegrr normally i can figure this stuff out. I was able to find the bbpress.css file but i cant find where I can max width this. I made a snapyshot of what it’s looking like.

*Should I maybe ask this in a new thread?*
tweekageFantastic! Works. Thank you very much. 
Now just fixing the style of this page. Ill repost if i can’t figure it out.
modemlooperTake page.php or whatever file you’ve created to be full width and copy it. Rename file bbpress.php
bbPress will use this file for its content
tweekage@WPwebbouw I’m using my own custom theme and used the custom theme plugin for it.
@modemlooper I have done that. I used one I made in the past that works on other pages and even made another one with the code that was in this forum also and that didnt work. I just cant figure this out haha.
I noticed all of the pages “members, activity, etc” never needed code int he page for it to work. I did put [bbp-forum-index] in the page for the forum to pop up.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/jt0j9kbwfd0q22l/fullpage.php <– is the file I currently use which I did remove the sidebar call at the bottom.
modemlooperthere is a full width page template. go to the forum page in Pages menu in the admin and choose full width page template
NealWHey there. I just figured out what was causing this. I had activated bbpress after installing group forums in Buddypress when this started. I deactivated bbpress and the request for an activation code went away.
WPwebbouw@modemlooper good idea, thanx
WPwebbouwIf you are using the bp-default theme, it appears the forum uses the page.php template. You could alter this template (in a child theme) by removing the sidebar. Then in the css remove margin-right: 225px; from div#content .padder. Probably you must add a selector to affect only the forum page, e.g. .forum-archive div#content .padder { margin-right: 0}
As page.php is also used for pages, you could make a new page-sidebar.php to use for pages where you want to have the sidebar. You can use page.php for other pages where you don’t want a sidebar as well.
teorourkeAh nevermind! It seems it’s part of the theme design. I’ve gone ahead and posted on their forums on how to get it back. Thanks anyway!
modemlooperUse google and add site:buddypress.org to search param
