Forum Discussion Reply Button Always Visible

Introduction

BuddyBoss does not provide a built-in option to keep the forum discussion reply button always visible. You can use a CSS snippet to ensure the reply button is displayed at all times, improving accessibility and user interaction in forum discussions.

Custom Workaround

1. In your WordPress admin, go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options
2. Under Custom Codes, toggle Enable CSS to On
3. Paste the following CSS:

#bbpress-forums#bbpress-forums .bs-forums-items.list-view .bs-dropdown-wrap .bs-dropdown-wrap-inner {

    opacity: 1;

    visibility: visible;

}

4. Click Save Changes

Any custom code is considered “custom work.” Please review our Support Policy for more details.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

A: Clear your site cache, caching plugin, or CDN cache. Ensure the CSS was pasted exactly as shown and that Enable CSS was turned on before saving

Q: Will this affect other buttons in forums?

A: No. This CSS specifically targets the reply button in forum discussions

Q: Can I modify the visibility for other forum elements?

A: Yes. Identify the CSS selector of the element you want to adjust and apply similar opacity and visibility properties

Q: Who can I contact for further assistance?

A: Submit a support ticket through your BuddyBoss account dashboard for personalized help
