I am very interested in that ‘bbpress.php’ file, having the same issues as “elmalak”; once I go into the forum pages, or topics, everything gets lost, for example, I used a specific page template for the forum page I created with the short code, but once I go into the topics or so, it reverts back to the regular page template.

What do I put in the bbpress.php file to make it a “wrapper”?

Thanks

Sounds great. Is using shortcodes hard to control if the forum grows or is there a list of how many “main” pages and different shortcodes I would need? I guess this is a much more tedious way of doing it and changing the theme code would be best?

I will look for that thread…

You think I shouldn’t download that “bbPress attachments” plugin though?

Thanks again! You are most helpful

Thank you for your rapid reply anointed, I contacted Orman’s support, we’ll see what they say.

Since I am new to bbPress, at your first glance of my above forum link… does it look like I got the installation and functions working, just having a problem with the width template (code)?

I tested how it would look by adding this short code [bbp-forum-index] into a regular “page” (not forum) and setting it to use full width template and I got that page to look like it should; http://limecitykitchen.com/forum-bbpress (just not functioning) Look better though, hope they can help me fix the code.

Also, will the “bbPress attachments” plugin work well with the bbPress 2.0 plugin?

Thanks again!

Hello, I am having similar issues, I can’t get bbPress to work well with my custom WP theme (self-hosted wp site). http://limecitykitchen.com/mingle/mingle/mingle-3

I installed the bbPress 2.0 plugin and have so far only created one test forum and no topics yet but I am already so frustrated about the way it shows up, it’s definitely missing padding and the window should be full width like this; http://limecitykitchen.com/fullwidth_test

I love my theme and don’t want to change that just to get bbPress to work, how do I integrate the bbPress forum into my WP site? Are there certain files I need to modify? Style sheets? Move items around in the folders?

Perhaps I need to somehow create a childs theme?

Or should I put the forum on a WPMU?

Or in a different directory on my main domain hosting with a separate WP install?

Any help with this is HIGHLY appreciated!

Thank you!
