I’ve recently launched a forum attached to my personal portfolio and blog as a resource and critique center for writers, artists, and designers.
So far, it’s just myself, my husband, and a few friends, but if you’re interested in commenting on work or showing your own, you’re welcome to stop by and join up. Thanks to BBPress for making such a simple forum- I got this up and running with the info I’d gleaned about WP in less than a day, and skinned it in a grand total of two hours using the styles I’d already come up with for my WP templates.
It’s bright, but we like it! Hope to see some of you there.
Topic: Can we do includes?
Is there a way to add an include in a bbpress theme? I want to add some content in the pages that will change, and I just want to change one file instead of multiple ones.
Something like this
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/featured.php'); ?>from my wordpress theme. But have featured.php in my bbpress theme folder.The Profile Edit links are displaying off the right side of web page
How doe the postion code need to be set to move the links back onto the web page?
#profile-menu {
list-style: none;
position: absolute;
right: 0;
}
#profile-menu li {
font-size: 1.1em;
background-color: #eee;
padding: 4px 7px;
display: inline;
border-top: 3px double #9e9e9e;
position: relative;
top: -10px;
}
#profile-menu li.current {
background-color: #ddd;
border-top: 1px solid #9e9e9e;
}
I have spent three hours trying to figure out what I’m doing – can someone tell me if this config.php is correct?
I have placed xxx’s in place of password, etc..

I just installed bbPress.
Now, I need to learn how to customize the forum’s appearance.
Apparently, a lot of customization done through plugins.
I found the following:
Using Plugins
To use a plugin, simply create a directory in your main bbPress directory called my-plugins and put the plugin file in it. bbpress does not currently have a plugin activation/deactivation interface like WordPress’. Any .php file in your /my-plugins directory will be run.
Looking for plugins? Try our plugin browser http://bbpress.org/plugins/
I like adding the ‘This topic is one of your favorites’ feature.
How would I find if this is an available plugin?
If so how would I find where to download it?
