Hi all!

I’m totally green to BBPress and BuddyPress and I feel so out of my element. Hopefully someone here can help me!

I’m working on a new community-based website and I would like to set my forums up to look something like this:

http://tamrielfoundry.com/forums/

Multiple categories, with multiple forums, but I’m just not really sure how to go about this. They look weird when I set them up on my site and I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Is Tamriel Foundry using some sort of plugin to make their forums appear like that?

Hoping someone can help me.

How my forums look presently: http://screencast.com/t/S1Fmp8ZwD

Any help will be absolutely appreciated!

download the forums.php file and insert it into your child theme in a folder called bbpress.

you can also use Robin’s plugin , it has the same file inside the plugin and it gives you options to style your bbpress installation better.

Thank you @Robkk! This is exactly what I was looking for. Love the styling pack too, that will definitely help get this going the way I want. Installed your loop-forum.php and it looks fantastic.

Only question I have is, how do I modify it to say ‘Latest Post’ rather than ‘Freshness’. Though I’m not sure you can help me with that. Going to do some digging and see if I can find an answer.

Woot, found the answer to that too. Yay!

Great – glad the plugin is working for you !
