Hi, there.

I’m trying to figure out how to get my theme (http://agitainment.com/ics/forum/) to use the 404.php page that I’ve styled to fit with my theme. Currently all 404’s are using the default provided by my host or the bbPress die page.

Any ideas?

Cheers!

I believe 1.0 has 404 support like WP does but the unthemed die page is something I’ve complained about for over a year now to no avail. They just don’t want to add a hook for it so you would have to hack the core to change it unfortunately. It’s really unprofessional.

essentially in functions.php

find function bb_die( $message, $title = '' ) {

and change

bb_install_header( $title );

to

bb_get_header();

then change

bb_install_footer();

to

bb_get_footer();

One easy way for them to solve this is to move bb_die into pluggable.php, so Sam if you are reading this?

Thanks, _ck_.

I may give this a try when I get a few free hours to do backups and restores should anything go wrong.

But I’m with you that we should have a way to theme the die page. I’d be happy to add my name to a petition in that regard.

Also, do you have any idea when a stable version of 1.0 is going to be available?

Thanks again! Cheers.
