I would like to create a forum based community. What theme is best for this. I’m also a newbie so would want something easy to use/create. Willing to pay a little for a premium theme if it makes creating everything easier.

I may sell some items like branded hats, t-shirts etc, but that really wouldn’t be main emphasis.

Hi,
Most of the themes are compatible for bbPress and the ones that are not can be tuned with some CSS.
So I would say, go for a theme you like, install a WordPress in a test environment, get bbPress and play with it !

Thanks Robin. Is there a video showing how to use some of the most common features of the “bbp-style-pack” plugin?

[@robin-w Moderator 9 years ago]

No, just work your way through !

Any theme would do. Just check if they are woocommerce and bbpress compatible or not!
