Hi!

I am choosing a suitable forum plugin to use on my wordpress site.
I wish my end product to look like this: http://www.tokyohive.com/forums

Please advice if bbpress layout can be edited to look like this, and if yes, how difficult or easy is it?

I am really new to wordpress. Thank you everyone for all your help!

Hey Jlow,

I can’t see the link you provided but as someone who has just gone through the process I can say BBPress is incredibly easy to customize. There’s a few bits and bobs that can cause trouble but overall you can a large amount of control on every loop and page.

Copy over the template files into a subfolder bbpress on your theme and you can edit everything to your liking.

Cheers,
Jack

quite easy see

Codex

where there are step by step guides, and layout examples

It’s all quite easy once you understand the structure. Don’t expect to click some buttons though, if you want to make real changes to the default layout you’ll need some basic knowledge of HTML and php.

That is a pretty awesome forum design, shame it’s not bbPress but for certain with a bit of work in that can be achieved 😉

I want a layout like PHPBB or SMF, that means forums list on the top not left side.
