Well after a couple hours I couldn’t get it to work. I followed the instructions but I made the following adjustment. I created a new functions.php in the child folder with the line
add_theme_support( ‘bbpress’ );
It all seemed to work but when I created a page and wanted to use a bbpress template only the template for the theme showed up, none for bbpress.
Your instructions say
“Copy the files from plugins>bbpress>bbp-themes>bbp-twentyten into your child theme folder.”
Does this mean that you can just dump the whole thing, including subdirectories in, or do certain things go certain places?
Anyone have some thoughts?
A couple of questions, does it matter if I do that before or after installing and activating bbpress?
And, should the child theme contain the modified functions.php? If it doesn’t wouldn’t the modifications get blown away during a theme upgrade?
Thanks
Thank you for that. I am going to try that tonight on my practice site and will let you know how it works.
Isn’t it crazy that those instructions aren’t part of the basic bbpress documents or FAQ?
I use the “new topic notifications” plugin mentioned above quite successfully. My members love it.
What theme did you use for your 2.1 install? What modifications did you make to the theme if any?
Rookie mistake, I forgot to activate the TwentyTen bbpress theme!
