How to Always Show the Comment Bar on a BuddyBoss Activity Posts

Introduction

Activity posts typically reveal the comment form only when a user clicks “Comment.” To keep the comment bar visible by default on every activity item, you can apply a small CSS tweak via Theme Options.

Custom Workaround

  1. Go to BuddyBoss > Theme Options.
  2. Under Custom Codes, toggle on Enable CSS.

Append the following CSS:

.activity-comments form {

  display: block !important;

}
  1. Save Changes.

Note: Any custom code is considered “custom work.” You may review our Support Policy for details.

Troubleshooting and FAQs

Q: The comment bar still hides—what should I check?
A:

  • Confirm the CSS snippet is placed under Theme Options > Custom Codes.
  • Clear any caching layers (page-cache, object-cache, CDN) and reload the activity page.

Q: I don’t have a Custom Codes section—how else can I add this?
A: You can add the CSS to your child theme’s style.css file or use a snippet plugin.

Q: Will this force every activity item to show its entire comment thread?
A: Yes—it makes all comment forms always visible, which may lengthen pages with many comments.

Q: How can I revert this change?
A: Remove the CSS rule from Custom Codes (or your child theme) and save; then purge caches.
