Making a Child-THeme for BBPress

    Okay so we use the Valenti theme for our site which is gorgeous. But I hate the way it styles the BBPress forums…

    The categories and topics are all weird. I just wish it looked standard like every other major forum out there. Minecraftforum.net is a good example of the layout I’d like to see.

    Does anybody have any suggestions on what I could do to achieve that? I have searched through these forums and all of the methods seem outdated as they aren’t working for me.

    Follow this. If you theme has a specific way of creating a child theme follow any of their own guides.

    It may be how the default category and forum layout bbPress uses. Maybe consider using this loop-forums.php file in a child theme.

    Thanks! So It looks like it worked and looks great. However it seems whenever I make a change to the theme options of the parent theme the child theme is de-activated and the parent them re-activated. SO I am to re-activate the child-theme
