bbp won't use my child theme instead of bbp-twentyten

  • @clayheaton

    I did the following today:

    • Install a fresh version of wordpress and bbpress plugin.

    • Copy all files (except style.css) from …/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten to my child theme folder

    • Modify bbpress-functions.php to include add_theme_support( 'bbpress' );

    bbpress is still using the bbpress.css file from wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/bbp-twentyten/css

    I’ve been tinkering with it for hours and I cannot get it to start using my child theme’s css files by default. They properties always are overwritten by the bbpress.css file in the plugins folder.

    Ideas?

    I assume that copying the contents of bbp-twentyten would allow you to create a theme from scratch using the twentyten theme as a base.

    If you are using a theme with wordpress then it looks like using the bbp-theme-compat would be the way to go.

    Good to hear you got it sorted.

    I hope this doesn’t confuse things further, if it does help sorry I think of it earlier. 😉

    Lynq, that’s what I assumed, too. This link suggests the approach you took:
