But once I realized how different blogs and forums were, it made a lot more sense to me.</p> <p>The initial conversion was the hardest part. After that, little tweaks to my blog theme didn't take that long to incorporate into my bbPress theme. But I'm getting ready to do a redesign of the blog, and am dreading converting it into a bbPress theme again. It probably won't be that bad; it's just inconvenient.</p> <p>Overall though, it's been definitely worth it :-). Frankly I am liking bbPress much more than I ever liked WordPress! </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/simplepress-and-bbpress-themer#post-22585 Sun, 04 Jan 2009 22:06:37 +0000 Patrick10128 22585@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Hello all,<br /> I run a small website called the Youth Bloggers Network (<a href="http://youthbloggers.net/">http://youthbloggers.net/</a>) which is currently using WordPress and the Simple:Press forum plugin to run the forum. I've received some advice to switch to a "dedicated" forum software such as bbPress or phpBB to increase loading time and optimize the site structure (splitting up the forum and cms backend). If I were to switch, bbPress is the definite option for me seeing as I <em>need</em> my WordPress users to be members of the forum as well. I was able to install the latest bbPress version (1.0 alpha I believe) and integrate it perfectly with my WordPress install (cookies, users and everything). That was wonderful. The only two things holding me back from making the switch are:</p> <p>1) Simple:Press is so easy to integrate into any page, just plug and play<br /> <strong>2) I need a bbPress theme that matches my current Wordpress theme</strong></p> <p>The problem is that I would like my forum to look and feel like just another page on the site. With Simple:Press this is easy (even when switching themes). With bbPress I need a new theme.</p> <p>So here is what I would like to know:</p> <p>Is it worth switching to bbPress even if it means a little extra work and designing?<br /> And where can I find someone who could create a bbPress theme for me that fits my current design for a *low* price?</p> <p>Please visit the site: <a href="http://youthbloggers.net/" rel="nofollow">http://youthbloggers.net/</a> and give me your advice and suggestions.</p> <p>Thanks very much,</p> <p>Patrick </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-bbpress-integration#post-22057 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 23:54:55 +0000 nuttycoder 22057@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>haha that makes 2 of us then :) just adjusted the stylesheet as I noticed when lot logged in the login form went over the header section, been fixed now. </p> http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/wp-bbpress-integration#post-22049 Sat, 20 Dec 2008 23:01:46 +0000 Trent 22049@http://bbpress.org/forums/ <p>Being a sucker for orange, I really like your design on that one!
