About Suffusion bbPress Pack
From the official readme · v1.01Description
Suffusion bbPress Pack helps add bbPress support to your Suffusion-based site.
It works by copying a handful of template files to your (child) theme directory. The templates are based on the default bbPress TwentyTen theme,
modified suitably to match Suffusion’s markup.
Pre-requisites
You need the following to use the plugin:
- bbPress 2.0 (or higher)
- Suffusion 4.0.0 (or higher)
- A child theme of Suffusion. If you are unsure about creating one, use the starter pack.
Using a child theme is strongly recommended, to avoid accidentally wiping your main theme installation clean during a theme upgrade.
Installation
You can install the plugin through the WordPress installer under Plugins → Add New by searching for it,
or by uploading the file downloaded from here. Alternatively you can download the file from here, unzip it and move the unzipped
contents to the wp-content/plugins folder of your WordPress installation. You will then be able to activate the plugin.
Once you have installed the plugin, activate it from Plugins → Installed Plugins. This will create a new
menu item, Appearance → Suffusion bbPress Pack. When you visit this tab, you will see an option to “(Re)Build bbPress Files”.
Click on that, and the appropriate files will be copied to your theme folder. Your installation of Suffusion is now bbPress-ready!
