Hi there,

I’m writing because I have trouble to understand how templates are managed in BBPress (and wordpress I guess :)).
I’d like to have a specific template on the main forum page (the one displaying the different forums). And another template for the page displaying the different topics.

Currently in the wordpress page where I pasted the short code [bbp-forum-index], I call the template bbpress.php, which is presented in the bbpress codex (See example at the end of the topic).

But how can I create a specific template for my forum index (listing all my forums), for instance “forum-display.php”. And another template, listing my topics (for instance “topic-display.php”).

Maybe my file bbpress.php is not appropriate to do so ? or need to be customized a bit ?

NB : I’m using twenty twelve theme

I hope my question is clear,
Thank you for your help,
Pierre

<?php
/*
This is code to display the sidebar and the footer.
Remove the sidebar code to get full-width forums.
This would also need CSS to make it actually full width.
*/
?>
		 
<?php get_footer(); ?>
