Alright I managed to get it going after deleting and re-creating the page. Next problem is how come my forum isn’t showing properly with my child theme??
What steps do I need to make to create my forum to work with my child theme?
I know it’s the weekend but anyone out there that can help with this problem?
Here’s a link to my page http://elusivebuck.com/community
If you want to use the bbPress plugin instead of the bundled forums in BuddyPress, try these steps:
1. Login to the WP admin dashboard, navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Enable the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
2. Navigate to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Click on the “Pages” tab. Under “Discussion Forums”, select “None” and save.
3. Navigate back to “Settings > BuddyPress“. Make sure you’re on the “Components” tab. Uncheck the “Discussion Forums” component and save.
Edit your “Community” page in WordPress, add the shortcode:
[bbp-forum-index]
On a separate line and without any special tags or characters around it. If you’re using the Visual Editor, change to “Text” mode to ensure there are no special tags.
See if that helps.
Awsome man! thanks very much! it’s working now, all I gotta do is edit the css.
Thanks again.
