Introduction
BuddyBoss does not provide a built-in option to display forums in list view. You can use a CSS snippet to convert the default grid layout into a full-width list view, making forum topics easier to scan and navigate.
Custom Workaround
- In your WordPress admin, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
- Under Custom Codes, toggle Enable CSS to On
- Paste the following CSS:
div#bbpress-forums .grid-view {
display: block;
}
div#bbpress-forums .grid-view li {
max-width: 100% !important;
}
div#bbpress-forums .grid-view li .bb-cover-wrap {
padding-top: 15% !important;
}- Click Save Changes
Any custom code is considered “custom work.” Please review our Support Policy for more details.
