Re: Building A VERY VERY VERY Minimal Theme From Scratch
Sounds like what you want to do is use shortcodes, after installing the default bbPress plugin (or installing BuddyPress version).
You’ll still want (need) a little styling of the default twentyten template style to help it match your current theme, but otherwise the bbPress forums can be added to a page with just the shortcodes features you wish to display:
See shortcodes here: https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-shortcodes
We’ve done a little tutorial video that shows how this might work with your theme (forward to the “hybrid” option in the video, about mid-way)
