Hi all,

I have just installed bbpress here – forum.I’ve been looking through the forums here and found a few posts relating to the style of PHPBB.

What I am trying to do is have something like the this:

Forum#1
–Sub Forum #1
—-Description
–Sub Forum #2
—-Description

Forum#2
–Sub Forum #1
—-Description
–Sub Forum #2
—-Description

Forum#3
–Sub Forum #1
—-Description
–Sub Forum #2
—-Description

And have topics for each sub forum displayed – hope that makes sense. I’m not too sure about forums & categories so feel free to comment.

I have read about editing the plugin files in a child theme but not too sure how to go about that. I have worked with child themes in WordPress before (and am currently), but is there a ‘plugin child theme’?

Thanks,
Al.

see if this helps, copy the link and search google

github.com/robkk/bbPress-Hierarchical-Forum-and-Category-Layout

download the .zip file and upload the loop-forums.php file to your bbpress folder in your child theme.

you create a category by create selecting new forum in the WordPress backend and changing the type to category.

to put forums under each category make sure all the forums you want under a specific category has the parent as that category

the docs should help out alot for learing how to use a child theme for your bbPress installation
