    Okay. I created a child theme for my custom theme, and copied all the .php files for bbpress into a new folder titled “bbpress” into the child theme folder.

    Check.

    Okay, but I thought in order to remove the sidebar from your forum (i.e.: a full-page forum) you need to be working in “themes” not “templates.”

    Let me be more to the point. I have a website with a custom WP theme, (http://www.gamehounds.net/).

    I want to intgrate bbPress forums under the tab “Forum.” I want the bbPress forums to be full-screen without the sidebars, but of course I want to keep the sidebar in the rest of my site.

    After a LOT of reading… including your wonderful thread that says Never Modify bbPress core files, I built a child theme and activated it.

    But when I go to where says to in order to put my bbPress theme into my child-theme file, there is no “themes” folder.

    I do have a “templates” folder, but it doesn’t seem to have any information for themes where it instructs to “get sidebar,” which from what I read is the thing that I want to “//”.

    Does this make sense at all? Again, apologies for being kind of numbskully about this. I’m really just hacking around in the dark and learning as I go.

    Oh wait. Brain fart. I found it. Sorry for the last two posts. It was kinda hidden.

    No, more like I’m a moron.

    Thanks.

    Additionally, inside:

    wp-content/themes/myActiveTheme/… There is no “bbpress” file. So I’m not really sure where bbpress is pulling it’s theme from. If I did, I could copy that theme and drop it into the myActiveTheme file. But until I figure out where it’s getting its information, I’m kinda stuck digging around.

    That’s the thing.

    I go to wp-content/plugins/bbpress…

    And there’s no “templates” file. So can’t really copy anything from templates as… it doesn’t exist.
