Ok so I think I have this worked out. I copied everything out of the “bbp-twentyten” folder except functions.php. I then put these files inside my child theme folder. Then I copied everything from the functions.php within “bbp-twentyten” and pasted it into my child themes functions.php. The final step was to add theme support by placing add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ ); inside my child themes functions.php. This appears to be working because the forum is now pulling styling from the bbpress.css file inside my child theme. Now to try to edit some page templates.
I second that its happening in 2.0-beta-3b but at least its an easy fix!
Thanks. Honestly, im not even sure the 2010 theme is loading. It seems the forum is using my wp theme css rather than the default css. Ive tried copying the CSS from the bbp-twentyten into my themes style.css and still no luck. The forum is basically a blank slate right now.
