Template hierachy not working

    I’ve made edits to the core bbpress files – then realized I need to copy the templates in order to not have those edits overwritten when I upgrade. Core files I edited are: archive-forum.php and single-forum.php in my themes folder.

    1 – Will those 2 get overwritten?
    2 – If so, when I copy in content-archive-forum.php, content-single-forum.php and content-archive-topic. They do not have any effect on the bbpress display. I thought copying those files into theme folder bbpress would look at those files first?

    Yes, they will get overwritten and details on what to copy and where to copy them to can be found here:

    Yes – I’ve seen this page you recommended and was very excited to get started… but when I copy over those templates into my theme folder they do not take effect. I make changes to those newly copied templates and those changes are not reflected on the bbpress pages.
    As I understand it:
    -content-archive-forum.php will be seen instead of archive-forum.php
    -content-single-forum.php will be seen instead of single-forum.php

    But it’s not. Help? Where am I going wrong?

    Did you copy the files to YOURTHEME/bbpress?

    Just leave the name of the files the way they used to be.

    Yes. I am trying to use the full template – not template part – so I copied the files into the root of my theme as it says to do here:
    The “extras” directory contains optional root level page templates, to make life a little easier when customizing; copy any you want to use or modify into the root of your theme. eg. /wp-content/themes/%your-theme%/

    I did not rename the files.
