Stealth – KM – WordPress/CSS

[Gratus84Participant 60]

Stealth/KM I am in work mode. Can you or anyone else point me in the right direction ?

I am working on a bbpress/buddypress site and I have no idea how to get the bbpress forums to change the font and color stylings. It’s horrid with the theme I have and I see no easy fix on my CMS dashboard. I’m using visual composer which has been a godsend from how I did things last year so I am able to do some things fairly fast and could copy paste custom css easily but damn… I’ve read through all the theme documentation… no luck. Just need someone to point me in the right direction of a tutorial or something.

Are there custom templates for bbpress via custom css I could just copy paste?

I’m fairly resourceful and can mess with files on the server if I have to, I just don’t want to f~~~ something up it’s been a while since I’ve done it.

In WordPress you can’t edit a forum page at all, it’s like it sneaks around and calls something else.

How the heck did you guys do the CSS animations to also include the topics and description to slide out and the color fade in on mouse curse-over?

yes I will go inspect element and google everything….

Seriously this sites theme for the forum portal is badass.

How do you parse freshness/topics/replies??

Plan for it bros.Also keep redundant backups daily of date stamped folders and multiplebackups in a fire proof safe.

Make sure if you use a fire proof safe that you put your stuff in sealed plastic bags and or use a goldenrod dehumidfier, else the moisture that builds up will ruin your stuff. I was recently reading up on safes and lockboxes and learned about that pitfall with safes, in particular the sub $300 ones.

Seriously I am spending too much time on this. How do you code Freshness, # of Topics, and Replies in bbpress?

All the short-codes just dump the forums into the text box

The function for freshness is:

bbp_get_forum_last_active_time( $post_id );

You do a text indent of say 10px;

so…….

.element:hover {
text-indent:10px;
-webkit-transition: all .4s ease-out;
-moz-transition: all .4s ease-out;
-ms-transition: all .4s ease-out;
-o-transition: all .4s ease-out;
transition: all .4s ease-out;
}

Thanks. A long time in the making.

If you keep doing what you've always done... you're gonna keep getting what you always got.

Dude Keymaster, thank you so much. It’s funny I have been grinding hard video editing… got a new nikkon d5500… starting to live stream strongman events, looking into mobile app development for a tool I want to use… I knew I would eventually come back to the site, finally broke down and started w3schools to learn html then the others… and this is all starting to build on itself and make sense..

I love video editing and using after effects now.. upgraded my rig for christmas and it seems to help… I know a lot of people here are abhorrent to social media… but I look at instagram as a game for making that $$$$….

I sometimes feel like I am building a giant domino set or rude golberg machine. I know it will all work out… just have to put all the pieces in the right place.

@stealth should I be so paranoid as my knowledge grows as to look into scripting or backups? I sort of understand what you are saying.
