SOrry Tom, I didn’t understand any of that mate

[@ghostchoja Member 13 years, 3 months ago]

Just to make your insight a bit clearer here’s what I’ve done thus far and the dead-ends I’ve encountered:

Below I have used the instructions with the Static Red Theme:

2. Installation

---

Quick guide:

1) If this is your first custom theme, you will have to create a directory called “my-templates” inside

your bbPress root directory

>>>The only BBPress directory I could find was in the WordPress ‘plugin’ directory. This gave me:

/htdocs/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/my-templates<<<

2) Upload entire static-red/ folder to your my-templates folder

>>>Yep, did that<<<

3) Activate the theme from your ACP under Appearance

>>>This does not show anything relating to any of the BBPress themes I have installed <<<

Hi JJK…

I too am losing my mind with BBPress… I’ve been using WordPress for some time and run a site for my photography business.

I’ve just built a games site for a bunch of fellas who enjoy gaming and we’d like to use WordPress and BBPress to get a swanky forum going.

I installed BBPress as a plugin and all seemed well until I went to the ‘Themes’ page which reads: ‘Your active theme does not include bbPress template files. Your forums are using the default styling included with bbPress.’

I’ve scoured the Net and found no answers to this issue. Can you please help so I don’t lose anymore hair?

Many thanks!

I am having exactly the same problem! I’m amazed at the lack of clarity around getting BBPress to work with WordPress.

Oh no wait… I’m not.

Hope someone who knows can post something useful in here.

Cheers
