I’m extending an existing WordPress theme with bbpress functionality. I’ve gotten everything up and running except I can’t seem to find the base template for search results to customize everything AROUND the BBPress search results code. It looks like by default it’s pulling from page.php or single.php, but I would like to use a more specific template for it. I’m not seeing anything in Extras that fits the bill.

Check in bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/content-search.php

bbPress employs some “theme compatibility” magic to insert itself into your existing WordPress theme, and that directory is where those template parts live to try and fill in the gaps

content-search.php is just the “inner” part of the search. It seems it is defaulting to page.php. However, I’m not seeing anything to differentiate a search page from any other page. It is also interesting to note that the “post type” of the search results page is just a blank value.

@screenwavemedia

create a copy of page.php rename it to bbpress.php and put a conditional tag into the code.

i think use bbp_is_search()
