I would like use the TwentyTen bbpress theme(or even rather a theme with lists instead of tables) and customize it for my own use.

The advised way to do this: ‘making a copy of the plugins\bbpress\bbp-themes\bbp-twentyten folder and copying it to themes\mytheme’ works.
This however makes a huge mess of my child theme folder, instead I would rather copy it to ‘themes\mytheme\subfolder’. Is this possible and how to I accomplish this?

Using WordPress: 3.4.2 and buddyPress: 1.6.1 and bbPress: 2.1.3.

Hang of for a day or two, the ‘default’ theme in bbPress 2.2 uses lists and will be released very soon.

Thnx!

I just saw this post a bit too late and was already half way rewriting the original twentyten theme files.

Now this page: https://codex.bbpress.org/theme-compatibility/ is also outdated then.

What is the proper way to make a child theme now?

The process is still the same, I just updated the page you mention and it was only a minor modification for the default template location in bbPress 2.2.

Got it, Thnx!
