bbPress Plugin Templates
-
I have been building a website using WordPress and BuddyPress and have created my own custom theme that has BOTH WordPress and BuddyPress template files. I’m looking into using the bbPress plugin to build a forum but I’m rather confused about the theming system in the plugin.
I have looked at copying the theme files from the templates in the plugin and I have two questions:
1.) If I put them inside a /forums/ folder inside my theme would bbPress see the files?
2.) What happens regarding the BuddyPress Forums system? I have read the blog post over on their website but I don’t fully understand what is happening regarding bridging these two plugins as in BuddyPress there is ALSO a /forums/ folder for the template files so would conflict with the bbPress plugin files if I have them in my theme.
Thanks

The /forums folder in the bbp-twentyten folder is new as of a few hours ago. The bbPress plugin is programmed to look in a few places for its template files, two of which are “/forums” or “/bbpress”
Eventually BuddyPress and bbPress will play nicely together, but until then there’s a bit of a disconnect since BuddyPress currently has no idea the bbPress plugin exists.
If you have forums installed as part of your existing BuddyPress installation, eventually the bbPress plugin will include a script to migrate those forums over. Until then, they are two totally disconnected and separately functioning forums.
