Support Forum

you say you followed the wiki tutorial?  so is the forum now displaying on the custom page template?  or have you gone back to the default page template?  will assume this is the case.

so, copy your page.php over to forum.php and add this code at the very top

then remove the call to sidebar.php (could be done couple of ways) from this file.  That will remove the sidebar, but you still need make it full width.

now, find the

statement in this file and change it to

and then to your style.css add this

hopefully that gets you there.  if not, please do the above and leave it there and come on back so we can adjust.

well, the tutorial is a guideline. every theme can be different. and it helps to have firefox with firebug – cant live without it.

the forum.php goes in your wp theme folder. where your index.php, page.php,style.css, etc files are. you also have to change the template your wp page is using on the wp edit page admin page.

keep in mind the tutorial is a guideline. It cannot possibly cover all wp themes. look for the corresponding #content styles in your theme.

firefox with firebug is great for working through which classes need to be modified.

give it a try with this additional info and post back if you are still having issues and I can take a look after work tonight.

In your forum.php (assuming that what you called the custom page template), find the outputting of

and chagne it to

then at the bottom of your style.css add this

and you have full width

as I said, the tutorial is guideline.  It CANNOT be exactly descriptive for every theme.

your site does NOT have the forum class added to the div.  I see the added css, which is good, but it wont help until that div is modified.

the column div follows the page, header and menubar divs.  it is possible that the column div is in your header.php file instead of forum.php.

if thats the case, have a couple of options

1) add conditional check for forum page to see if you need to add the forum class

2) copy contents of header.php into forum.php and replace the get_header() call with it.  add the forum class.

3) in forum.php include a diff forum header file instead of get_header().  copy the header.php to this new forum header file and add the forum class to the column div in this forum header file.
