When you say you copied the bbpress folder, can you detail which folder eg
bbpress/tempaltes/… etc.
Can you post the exact error message, and tell us what precisely you click to get that
eg I go into dashboard then click x, and then click y, andtehn I get “bbvbvbvb vbbvbvb error”
public_html/forums/wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress
i pasted that folder into
public_html/forums/wp-content/themes/options
Thats the bbpress folder i copied into my theme.
in my dashboard i go to
appearance-> themes – error message displays
“Broken Themes
The following themes are installed but incomplete. Themes must have a stylesheet and a template.
Name Description
Options Template is missing.”
Ok, I think I understand
BBpress doesn’t have a “theme”, it uses your theme to get many of it’s display elements.
If you simply want to just use bbpress, then pick a wordpress theme, and off you go !
It’s only if you want to alter how bbpress forums look or behave that you need to copy files.
bbPress uses “templates” to order and decide what to show, and a bbpress.css file to style bbpress specific elements.
Therefore you should use a wordpress theme.
Within that wrodpress theem, you create a bbpress folder for any templates you want to alter, BUT only for those, so if you don’t want to alter, then you need do nothing.
If you wish to alter the bbpress.css, you’d create a css subfolder in your theme and copy the default bbpress.css into their and then alter it, or simply add styling to your themes style.css.
ok, but don’t tell the wife !
