I’ve spent hours trying to get bbp style pack to work and it doesn’t work for me. I’ve disabled all other plugins and no effects ever work

So I would like to just buy a pre-done theme so my forums don’t look like a generic forum from 1992

Really disappointed with bbpress all the way around so far

Sure it’s easy to create forums, but the styling is so basic and generic it’s pointless

There should be some pre-loaded theme designs you can easily pick from

so what wordpress theme are you using?

[JohnnyScience]

I’m using Themeco X Theme, which is a very high quality theme that is compatible with just about everything.

bbpress is too generic for me, it looks like its from 1992

I wish it was a lot nicer, I know there is good support for bbpress with an active dev team.

But there needs to be some basic standard for overall looks right out of the box.

I found another forum plugin that looks perfect right out of the box and is super simple to use: Asgaros Forum plugin

Seems to have a fairly active dev team that has been around for years.

Looks awesome right out of the box and super happy with it.

If bbpress updates and modernizes their look, I would consider switching back.

no problem, glad you have found a solution

Thanks for all your help, I know you’ve always been super responsive on these forums.
