I’m struggling with the new theme support in bbPress 2.1-dev. My goal is to modify the original bbPress theme and include it into my regular WordPress child theme (wp-content/themes/halftone-child) which is derived from Halftone theme (wp-content/themes/halftone).

I failed to figure out which files at which location I have to copy/modify in order to reach my goal. Things seem to change in every version (1.x/2.0/2.1), and it is hard to find information/documentation. Didn’t find anything in the forums (and yes, I read http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-20-theme-compatibility and http://bbpress.org/forums/topic/bbpress-21-theme-compatibility).

So my question is:

Which files from the current 2.1-dev, available under http://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/3769/branches/plugin?old_path=%2F&format=zip do I need to achieve my goal? Where do I have to copy them?

Copy everything from /bbp-theme-compat into your active theme directory. Once that’s done bbPress should detect it (in 2.1 that is) and use that instead!

Thanks – that works fine!
