I’m actually looking into this as well 👀
I’m planning to convert my existing WordPress site into a full forum using bbPress, and the classic/default theme setup is something I’m trying to understand better.
From what I’ve gathered so far, it seems like the process is:
* install and activate bbPress plugin
* create forums from the dashboard
* then adjust the theme (or use a child theme) to make it look more like a proper forum
I’m still a bit unsure about the best way to properly switch or enforce the “classic” bbPress layout across the site.
Would love to hear how you approached it — especially if you managed to fully convert your site into a forum-style experience rather than just adding forums as a section.
Thanks! 👍
