bbPress Themes?

Hey,

I have been eagerly waiting for a new modern styled bbPress theme since long time.

Now that the new BuddyPress Daily have been released, I’m wondering, is there any theme development for bbPress going on.

There’s only one bbPress theme – eduBB and there’s been no new theme since then.

Thanks.

    yeap..its been a while since eduBB released.

    considering the development state of BBPress…we haven’t really looking deep on

    bbpress development.

    but still eduBB may be the only bbpress theme with customize theme option backend where

    you can changed the style and colour..did you try the new version?

    it comes with theme option and background css and fix stuff.

    cheers

    Oh, I haven’t yet heard of the new release with color options. Thanks for the update!

    However, what happened with bbPress? Did it stop new developments? Then what platform would our sites have to depend on for forums?

    Thanks.

    I have downloaded the latest release of EduBB and I’m loving the new color options.

    However, I made manual changes to style.css file previously. I have deleted the entire old directory and uploaded the latest update, but the old changes seems to be still appearing and is making conflicts with the new update.

    What should I delete in order to have a clean start with a new theme?

    Thanks.

    hi kenneth

    that shouldn’t happen since the older version did not have the theme option cache in

    bb_site_options or bb_options

    and you did replaced all the files/folder right?

    try activate another theme and reactivate the new edubb.

    btw what version of bbpress you’re using?

    latest version from bbpress download…v1.0.2 i think are fully tested:slight_smile:

    cheers

    Hey Richie,

    Yep. I’m on the latest bbPress v1.0.2 and I installed the theme on /bb-templates/ correctly.

    As I said, I have manually re-coded the colors in style.css in the previous EduBB Theme since that didn’t have the Options page at that time.

    Now, I have deleted the previous EduBB and uploaded the latest update of the theme, but still there are previous colors which are showing.

    Thanks.

    what changes did you make in edubb edit-form.php?

    it should take effect if text based changes.

    the issue in other thread are related to the include path in child theme that need

    to replce with locate_template….its different from bbpress edubb templating.

    cheers
