So I’m brand new to WordPress and old hat to programming. I’m trying to piece together a word press site for a friend that he can easily manager and expand. I’ve got most everything up and running with buddy press now save for the forums (without actually having to touch code, craziness!) . My issue is with the forums (I’ve installed the site wide variant).

The issue I’m running into is that the individual forums seem to be rendering as a page and not getting the specific forum templates added to them. I’m using the custom community theme, but this problem is repeatable if i switch to the base buddy press theme. This problem is not present if i switch to the bbpress theme. Each forum listing shows up only showing the forums tagline as if it was page data. I had to do a bit of hackery to get the forum to render at all (deleted the forum page and made a link to /forums in the menu).

My forums are at:
http://unfettereddesigns.net/forums/

Any sage advice?

I’ve spent 2 days searching for a solution to no avail, surely some one here can lend a hand?

Custom Community theme needs to be updated to be compatible with BP 1.5. The new version of the theme is being reviewed for the WP theme repository at this time but Sven and Konrad same version at https://github.com/Themekraft/Custom-Community
