I am having issues with getting the bbPress plugin full width, - if I create a new page called 'forum' or 'forums', and put the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode in on that page, and make the page setting full width no sidebar it seems to work.
Now, when I click on the forum category itself, it makes the forum then go to the left side, roughly 60% of page, leaving the right side untouched with no sidebar.
I've tried width; 100%; under .bbpress-forums, didn't work.
I've tried creating a new bbPress.php page, with the full width page template code in it, it also didn't work.
Picture of my issue;

I apologize if my question isn't clear, or if I'm missing something so simple, just can't wrap my head around this... Note that I don't know a whole lot about code but I know a little bit.
If it's any help, I am using;
bbPress v2.15.4
and Socialize by GhostPool as the theme.
EDIT: I've gotten half way! I've set "no sidebar" as the default option... now this is where I am stuck! https://image.prntscr.com/image/HONffga5SYq3DA6wi_CcxA.png
Can you provide the link to the website? As far as I can see on website for Socialize: Multi-Purpose BuddyPress Theme author sad that that he provided large, full-width and full page theme. Maybe you missed some option or just need some CSS tweak.

i using the portfolio-theme studio 9 from simon bouchard.
A great theme with powerfull options.http://themes.simonbouchard.com/studio9/works/
now i would like to change the view of the work-section.
the featured image should change at hovering.
i search fpr the term and found a lot of stuff but always very special and i don´t know to code it in my theme. i´m not good at php or java.
my idea is to work with custom fields and to add a line of code that the image change to the custom field at hovering. i hope it is so simple and you can help me to fix the problem.
thank you so much!
i saw the effect at this page http://heydays.no and found it very very fresh.
The site you like uses ajax to cycle through multiple images when the block is hovered. Your theme probably does not support that. I suggest you look for a theme or plugin that offers the effect you want out-of-the-box. This one comes close and you may be able to set it to do a complete image switch instead of an effect. But the effects actually look cooler to me than the image switch.
I am looking to edit the css styles from inside the Dashboard inside of wordpress and NOT have to edit the php files if possible.
I know it is possible to edit at least some of the properties so my hope is I can edit all of them right within the dashboard.
MORE SPECIFICALLY
How can I change the css states of links and submenus of a custom class? For example the a:active, a:hover, a:link etc... and ALL OF THE SUB-MENUS to custom css as well?
I have included these pictures to show you what I am trying to do and the present results.
MY CUSTOM MENU INSIDE OF WORDPRESS
CUSTOM CSS INSIDE OF WORDPRESS
THE RESULTS
I am taking the time to give a little more details in gratitude for all the help I got on stackoverflow over the years, also giving a little more info for the newbies out there. We are all learning.
Here is what worked in pictures
I used Firefox and used "INSPECT ELEMENT". While on the page I did a LEFT CLICK and from drop down I chose INSPECT ELEMENT.
Then I clicked on the PICK AN ELEMENT icon, as seen in the picture and then I hovered over the element I wanted to edit, in this case a button in the menu. This gave me the class I needed to edit.
I went into my DASHBOARD in WordPress and made this change to the code. Finally I got the results I was looking for, which I also included in the same picture as well.
Although I have not figured out how to edit the sub-menus yet I believe I am on the right track and will figure it out.
HOPE THIS HELPS SOMEONE. :)
So I know this is a bit out of ordinary for me to ask a question like this, but for some reason I am just really having an issue grasping this.
My Problem:
I have a responsive layout theme for word press, its clean its pretty. When implementing Google ad-sense into a text/html widget on the right bar it over runs the widget size and over hangs on the right hand side.
My Question:
What will be the best method for getting my ad to look more uniform. Is there a way to select a single widget css? Is there a way to put a div inside that widget and select the parent css from that div? Should I go in and hard code it into the theme?
Additional:
The theme I am using has a built in child theme option which I have chosen to use. When I place the code into the child themes function.php it breaks the theme and displays what I enter as plain text to the screen. Adding opening and close php tags did not seem to fix this issue.
Well it appears once again I asked a question before fully digging my brain into this. Hopefully this will become something useful for someone else.
FIX:
It appears that wordpress assigns a unique ID to every widget that is created.
Created New Text Widget
Wordpress Assigns: text-1
I can now go into css and manipulate this widget directly.
#text-1 {
//do somthing
}
It's always best to avoid hardcoding WP themes as when they get updated your modifications might vanish.
Glad to see you figured it out, I was going to say that you CAN add a div inside a widget and give it a name, which might still be be better than use the WP assigned layer name, as that might change if you were to delete or re-add the widget.
I am new to Word Press and I have been assigned to change something at work in our homepage.
I am always worked with raw HTML/CSS/php files, so I am a bit out of place here.
The page in question is the following: GAN Integrity Solutions Products
Inspecting the html I found where the CSS is (in the theme folder).
If I go in word press under pages, and I choose Products (which is the page I want) there is not content in it even in the text or visual editor. (but the page does indeed have content)
I installed the plugin called "Always edit in HTML" but it only removes the Visual tab and does not really replace it with the HTML tab (like I have seen a friend of mine has).
Also I am currently using WP v. 3.7.1 and I have not update because I still had to learn what happens when one updates (does it screw up my site? I can't afford to screw it up).
Anyone have any idea of what I am doing wrong or how I can solve this?
Btw the different "products" are created individually under "Portfolio" but what I would like to edit is that first link page html. What I need to do is instead of having pictures in the "squares" and then text as ones mouse over them, the reverse.
I would appreciate it!
Can you try to login in Wordpress?
You should go to pages and search for the product page.
Then check the template part.
Go to your themes map again and search for that template.
Your code should be there.
This is my first comment. Hope it is helpfull.
I know that I can go and change my theme's style.css file to change the background color of my widget areas, or if I make a custom widget area, I can give that a specific class and thus a custom background image in the style.css, but I need to give the user control for a few widget areas.
I have searched and searched and have not found any relevant information. Does anybody have any idea how I could do this? I really don't know how to make a widget AREA customizeable, and I would really appreciate any pointers in the right direction or assistance that anyone can provide.
EDIT
To be clear, I know how to add a custom widget area to my site. I have no idea how to add a customizeable option to the widget area, rather than a custom widget. As far as I understand it, widget areas are a set thing, are they not? Any pointer to a theme that does this would be greatly appreciated, as all of my google searches only end up pointing me to how to create a custom widget area, rather than a customizeable widget area.
Check the following two links if it is helpful for you.

My understanding of your question is that you are looking for a way to allow the client/admin to modify the widgets that are displayed on any given page/post (rather than modify the widgets themselves).
This is a problem I have tried various ways to solve, never adequately imo. First of all there's the option to create a widget area for each page dynamically. I've seen it in commercial themes, I've done it myself, it is not without it's problems as you can see here - Register new widget position moves existing widgets
There are plugins that can do this, again not without their drawbacks. This plugin;
http://www.codeandmore.com/products/wordpress-plugins/wp-page-widget/
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-page-widget/
Is great, I love it. BUT it does not work on custom page template, be aware (I've not looked at modifying to allow this, I've seen a post by the developers saying they have no intention of adding this).
There is this plugin - http://strategy11.com/display-widgets/ by the developer of the Formidable plugin, for me it makes the widget area far too complex if you have a lot of widgets and a lot of pages.
Finally there is what I ended up doing recently - using this code by Chris Coyier
http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/
To do my own custom code using the Wordpress function the_widget (http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/the_widget) to deploy certain widgets on a page by page basis.
