Guangzhou theme breaks bbpress

   i have integrated wp/bb following the instructions. the Guangzhou theme works well enouvh in wp. it SAYS it's 'compat with bb 1.0+' but when i copy the theme over to bb, it makes the site 500. deleting the dir doesn't force the site to "oops" back to the default theme. i have to change the theme entry in the db back to the default to get the site to behave again.

   is this the way wp/bb 'compatible' themes actually work? i wouldn't really expect it to work like that.

   the same wp theme won't work with bbPress. you need to find a bbPress counterpart of it

   so why then would the dev say 'compat with bbpress'? when he should obviously know better?

   looking through the comments I see mention of bbpress-guangzhou 0.2.2 zip

   So is that part of the main download? or do you need to download it separately?

   i saw that too, but it's not in the zip (even the old ones) and there's no link.

   May be they require deep integrated setups like pageline forums. but you will still need to find the bbPress counterpart
