Hi everyone, loving bbpress but running into a roadblock. A client has chosen a theme that fits their site really well, and comes with a phpbb skin, but no bbpress theme. Is there a way to either

A: Easily implement the phpbb theme

OR

B: Through some plugin, allow bbpress to use a theme different from the main WP install

Thanks
Rodolfo

and see if that gets you to where you want to be

@rnmartinez you can’t just use a phpbb theme for bbPress, you know different functionality for each forum system. You would have to remake the theme but for bbPress instead.

bbPress can have its own theme technically, by just using customized bbPress templates and custom styles and you can either put that in a custom/child theme or a plugin that creates a forum theme package, Robins plugin is a small example of the forum theme package thing.
