I have a WordPress installation with bbPress plugin installed. I’m wondering where shall I upload additional WordPress themes so they will not be overwritten with bbPress upgrades?
The most straitforward guess would be wp-content/plugins/bbpress/bbp-themes/ dir, however there’s an index.php inside that states:
<?php
/**
* Do not put custom themes here. They will be deleted on bbPress updates.
*
* Keep custom bbPress themes in /wp-content/themes/
*/
?>
ok. I uploaded theme there but I can’t find a place to switch theme. Went to Admin –> Settings –> Forums but nothing there. I even tried to create a bbp-themes dir inside of wp-content/themes and upload theme there but still no results.
Any help will be appreciated.
Add the theme to wp-content/themes/ as instructed, then choose it within the normal Appearance > Theme section.
You’ll need to ensure your theme is bbPress compatible. It’ll need the bbPress files and the following in the functions.php file.
