Wordpress version: 3.6
bbPress 2.3.2
Site url: http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/forum/

I wanted to create a custom bbPress theme, i followed the instructions here:’ Step-by-Step Guide to Creating a Custom bbPress Theme’. Having copied the following assets from the bbpress>template>default folder to my child theme:

1-bbpress folder
2-extras folder
3-js folder
4-bbpress-functions.php

I am still unable to override the styles in the default bbpress.css file.

I would appreciate clues on how to approach this.

Regards.

I ‘think’ from a quick look you should have the bbpress.css file you want to modify in the following location:
http://www.rubycore-ng.com/blog/wp-content/themes/rubycore-Blogger/css/bbpress.css

Give that a go and let me know if that does/doesn’t work 😉

Thanks, My theme can now read my bbpress.css file based on the directory structure you advised.
One observation and question though:
I noticed that when i created a blank bbpress.css file in my child theme, it wiped off the default styles created by the parent!! So, do I copy the complete parent bbpress.css file or do I make a child bbpress.css file.

If i am to make a child bbpress.css file, then how do i reference the parent css file, as it is done in wordpress child theme design?

I answered to the post of @tansu (called “Theme issues”).
I just began using BBpress so I’m not a BBPress savvy but I had this part working.
I hope it will help you both.
