bbP 2.1-rc4 + WP 3.4.1 + Pixel Theme Studio / Zen Theme

    Hi guys.

    This is the first time I have tried to get bbPress working and I can’t get this combination to show the actual Forums or Topics although it does work on on this website http://www.essentialoils.coop/community when I switch the theme to bbPress (Twenty Ten).

    If I use [bbp-forum-index] on a page or even just the bbP native URLs it will show my entire forum index, but when I click on any forum, I just get a blank page from the Pixel Theme Studio’s “Zen Theme”.

    So far I have created a new directory within my theme root called ‘bbpress’ and copied the files from bbPress/bbp-theme-compat/bbpress/ to this new directory. I have also moved the root files out of /bbpress/extras into the root of my theme. Plus I have added add_theme_support('bbpress'); to my functions.php, but still nothing.

    My theme just seems to see the page at http://www.essentialoils.coop/community as an un-ordered list.

    What did I do wrong? What haven’t I done? What is it that Zen Theme needs to make it work with bbPress?

    Any help at all would be much appreciated.

    And I also should add that since doing this work things have only got worse and now an unwanted sidebar has appeared ~ only at the bottom of the page!

    Firsh read this article: https://codex.bbpress.org/home/step-by-step-guide-to-creating-a-custom-bbpress-theme/

    Need a child theme without code? This plugin can do for you: https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/one-click-child-theme/

    Now on child theme create a file call bbpress.php

    Code example:

    <?php

    get_header(); ?>

    <div id="primary">

    <div id="content" role="main">

    <?php the_post(); ?>

    <?php get_template_part( 'content', 'bb' ); ?>

    </div>

    </div>

    <?php get_footer(); ?>

    – Duplicate page.php on your theme and rename it to content-bb.php

    – bbPress call content-bb.php so you can customize for anything you want!

    Hope this help!
