So another update:
The bossman wasn’t liking the layout that bbpress uses and insisted on using a different forum plugin. So, I’m very sorry to have wasted any of your time, but I appreciate your quick response and helpfulness, I will defiantly keep bbpress on hand for future projects.
Thank you.
I would also like to update, so after reading some more last night, I found the documentation on the short codes. I tried making a dedicated page and using the short codes to load the main forum index. Now this works in almost every way, including using the proper sidebar that I want, however, the search option at the top is now off set, with the button below the bar instead of next to it. I have been fiddling with the CSS for awhile to see if I can get it to align properly, but so far no luck. And now, even the page provided by the bbpress plugin is doing the same thing. So maybe I messed something up, or maybe I’m just missing something, but if I can get this solved, I will have a perfect solution.
