Put the bbPress theme files into your WordPress theme directory:
wp-content/themes/yourtheme
In yourtheme/css place the bbpress.css file
In yourtheme/bbpress, place all of the files you need to edit. Most of them (I believe):
bbpress/content-archive-forum.php
bbpress/content-archive-topic.php
bbpress/content-search.php
bbpress/content-single-forum.php
bbpress/content-single-reply.php

Thanks a lot. Do you know if there is a boiler plate or some sample files around somewhere I can take a look at?
These are probably questions better asked on bbPress forum – remember although bbPress integrates with buddyPress it is a standalone plugin.
I doubt however you need to overload all the files as above.
Thanks Hugo.
I’ll head over to their forums and see what turns up.
That’ll do it for ya. Sorry if my post wasn’t as clear as it should have been — I personally need to edit every file when I create my bbPress themes.
