I figured this out by accident after not finding much in the forums about it, so I thought I’d post it fresh.

In wordpress, we use <?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?> to go straight to your template directory (i.e. “http://mysite.com/wp-content/themes/mytheme”).

In bbPress, to go yout theme directory (i.e. “http://mysite.com/bb-templates/mytheme”), you use <?php bb_option('template_uri'); ?>

I guess i was wrong, thought i was working, but it’s not. Does anyone know the proper tag for this?

This is a guess

try

BB_CORE_THEME_DIR for bb-template

BB_THEME_DIR for my-template

instead of template_uri

Use these functions:

bb_active_theme_uri(); // echos active theme URI

bb_get_active_theme_uri(); // returns active theme URI

bb_get_theme_uri( 'user#foobar' ); // returns given theme URI where theme is in "my-templates/foobar"
