BBpress forum set up HELP!

[mmsdev]

Hi.

I have bought the theme enfold and its great.

However i have no idea what is going on with the bbpress set up.

1:How do you style it as its just a really basic shade of blue and white cant really see it.

2: How do you add any of the widgets to to it that came with it?

3: I see that it is not a page but its own special page, so how can i change the side bar for it?

I cant see anything to do with it apart from the basic settings, is it not like setting up a page?

Help!

Hi midischool,

This is a good guide for getting started with bbPress: http://www.wpbeginner.com/wp-tutorials/how-to-add-a-forum-in-wordpress-with-bbpress/

While it is supported and has some built in styling we aren’t actually the support for bbPress which can be found here: http://bbpress.org/forums/

All of the styling is inherited from the choices you make in the theme’s styling menu but you can do further customization following the guidelines in the bbpress documentation.

Regards,

Devin

Ok thanks.

Would you advise with enfold that you have a child theme to hold the forum in? i am guessing that then if it is in a child theme you can install a theme and style it just for the forum?

Enfold already has a setup folder for bbpress which can be found in the theme files>config-bbpress.
