I just installed bbpress and it seems to work with the default theme. When I tried a couple of other themes the formatting was lost.

This is what it looks like:

I installed the themes as zip files into the mytemplate directory.

Could anyone help me with figuring out what is wrong?

Thanks!

First, check you’ve uploaded the theme to the right place.

If i physically go to the theme files, they’re not there on your server.

http://jeffreydeanmorganunlimited.com/community/bbpress/my-templates/mistymorning_bb/style.css returns a 404 error.

Second make sure that you’ve got the permissions of the folder set correctly:

The permissions of the my-templates folder should be 0755. Same for the folder the theme is in as well. Files in the theme folder should be 0644

Shout back if that doesn’t fix it.

Hey Kevin,

Thanks for your help. It was the permissions. All is working fine now.
