Hi,

I’m trying to get new-topics-archive to show on my forum front page and to show all my forum pages in a simple left-aligned-sidebar structure, a structure that’s the opposite of the rest of the WP site(right-aligned sidebar).

I created a bbpress.php file with this structure, but it’s not being recognized. Instead, it’s defaulting to my template page.php file. I tried bbpress.php and forum.php, but neither works.

And once I get all that working, a shortcode on the forum front page should make it show the new-topics-archive, right? But that isn’t working either.

Any thoughts?
