So, using the code example several posts above, from manuelmasia — let’s say that I wrap that in php tags and drop it into a functions.php file in my child theme directory. Is there anything else that I would need to do in order to get the breadcrumbs to display differently?

Where does one install filters in 2.1?
Lynq, that’s what I assumed, too. This link suggests the approach you took:
https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/
Oops. Yeah, I saw that other thread earlier, but this is the one that turned up when I searched. For the record, “Globally Disable Sidebar?” would be a great option in the bbPress settings. 🙂
Is this the proper approach? removing all of the php get_sidebar() function calls?
Ok – it seems to be working as expected now, with a clean refresh. The only difference is that I followed your instructions, Lynq, and not those peppered around this site. The following links say to copy the contents of the bbp-twentyten folder to the theme folder:
https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-2-0-theme-compatibility/
https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/
That doesn’t work for me, however. Copying the contents of the bbp-theme-compat folder did work.
Is this simply a documentation problem that needs to be fixed?
Thank you both for the help and attention!
Thanks. I’ll give it a shot this evening. 🙂
Ok. I’m going to nuke the site and try a fresh install. Can somebody give me accurate concise directions for what to do after I have installed and activated my child theme (without bbpress), to get the bbpress theme to an editable state outside of the plugins folder? Altering my CSS files in the child theme directory always leads to them being superseded at the moment, and I followed the directions I found here.
Try inspecting the darker reply cells in this thread. The background color comes from the plugins folder style sheet.
In the screenshot you can’t see it (the path appears as a tooltip that disappears when I take a screenshot). If you do it in Firefox and hover over where it says bbpress.css, you’ll see the path to the plugins folder.

Check this screenshot. In FF, just right-click on the table cell and “Inspect Element:”

Maybe I’m off my rocker here, but that appears to come from the plugins default folder and not from your RainCloud theme.
By the way, Linq, the same problem is true on your own website (and on this site) if you inspect the darkened table rows in replys, etc.

It’s online. You can look at this address:
http://www.gameaid.org
If you use the web inspector on the darkened cells behind the forum table (General Discussion) you’ll see the properties are pulled from the plugin folder.
If either your parent/child/current theme have /css/bbpress.css in it, > the theme-compat one shouldn’t be getting pulled in. If it does, and > it is, it’s a bug.
I’m not familiar enough with bbpress (just tried it for the first time today) to declare it’s a bug and not my fault. This is happening with a near-vanilla up-to-date WP install, however.
That’s exactly what’s happening. I’m using the responsive theme. I have a responsive-child theme folder that includes the necessary information for me to use it and have responsive as the template, along with style.css that has some modifications to the responsive theme’s css. I then copied everything from …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to the responsive-child folder and added the aforementioned line to bbpress-functions.php.
bbpress ignores .../responsive-child/css/bbpress.css and instead calls the one from the plugins folder.
I added a simple css line in my style.css file for my child theme to try to replace the background color of the rows on the forum index:
#content table tbody tr.odd td {background-color:#efefef;}
The web inspector in Firefox shows that it is recognized but precedence is taken by the aforementioned css file in the plugins folder.

It still calls the bbpress.css in the plugins folder. Is there a specific place that the add_theme_support line needs to go in bbpress-functions.php?
