    Hi fixers

    I am reposting here, as I do not find a big insight in FSE.

    I am using Bbpress forum that is added using shortcode and legacy templates. This is TT5 theme. I am suffering big time from random behaviour.

    1. Footer

    Footer on forum page has it’s own life. Looks like this on all other pages and like this on forum page. I would really like this to tag into FSE themes, so that it’s not an issue at all. How can I accomplish this?

    And in general, why is forum affecting the footer in the first place? Better class definition of the forum block maybe, so that it does not tag into root etc…

    I am doing overwrites in css that seriously should be implemented in core. Otherwise forum is not responsive and does not adapt to the width of WP FSE core. like so:

    /******************** Forum Container - Large Screen **********************/.bbpress-container.bsp-fse-container {	width: var(--wp--style--global--wide-size) !important;	}/******************** Forum Container - Smaller screen **********************/@media screen and (max-width: 1035px) {    .bbpress-container.bsp-fse-container {		width: 90%;		}    }

    Widths as variable in FSE:

    • var(–wp–style–global–wide-size)
    • var(–wp–style–global–content-size)

    2) floats at random ???

    Also making the footer change above. then forum floats right!!!!!! Last week it floated left!!!

    3) Responsive

    All pages including any Bbpress shortcode will break responsive for mobile. First stuff is outside screen. 2nd tables collapse and reorder as if this was never styled for mobile.

    4) Adding fx recent subjects to frontpage, completely screws up the site

    In general I do not understand why the forum continues it’s styling into footer and corrupts everything around it. I have inspected all I can, but I am not able to locate these issues.

    5) I am trying to make search block adopt behaviour of forum search. How can I accomplish this and then remove the forum built in search

    Any ideas thx

    bbPress does not support block themes.

    If you view the HTML source of your fora page, you’ll see it’s a huge mess: the code begins with div tags, which is not what you should expect. There’s no doctype, html, head, or even body elements at all. Meanwhile you have various meta, link, style, and script elements scattered through the middle of the code, as there’s no head element to contain these.

    In case this is not obvious to you, this is really bad. And looking at the code, you should come to appreciate that the page even works at all, and your footer issues should be the least of your concerns.

    The bbPress Style Pack plugin (which you’re using already) has a feature to add block/FSE theme support to bbPress. Have you enabled this feature yet?

    If not, go to Settings -> bbPress Style Pack and choose either “Enable Basic” or “Enable Advanced FSE theme support”. If you choose the latter, be sure to read the rest of the page to ensure you’ve configured things properly.

    If you’ve already enabled the feature, then it’s clearly not working as intended… and I’ll recommend posting in the bbPress Style Pack plugin’s dedicated support forum so its author and user community can assist you: https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-style-pack/

    Good luck!
