Hi. I would like to make some customizations for my BBpress forum. I downloaded child theme for Flatbase from https://nicethemes.com/forums/topic/child-theme-template/ and set it up , then I created here “bbpress” folder, put there bbpress.css and some templates like loop-single-forum.php, and did some modifications of this files. But I see no changes on my site. What I did wrong?
Thanks,

Thank you for writing. Would you please send the site and its credentials in a private reply?
bbPress should be loading the templates directly, as it is plugin territory and not theme.

Thanks for waiting. We’ve just released a new update for Flatbase containing a fix for the bbPress child theme stylesheet issue.
You will need to download the latest version of the theme and update it.

After theme update layout broked:
It was like this
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3Qp3TOAk81EY3ZkNEh0SWtyMGM (Flatbase 1.0.8)And now it’s looks like this
https://drive.google.com/open?id=0B3Qp3TOAk81EZDY2LUVLd3BZN2c (Flatbase 1.0.9)Juanfra Aldasoro September 20, 2016 at 5:33 pmHi Alexey,
Thank you for the follow up.
The thing with child themes and bbPress is that they don’t work the same way the main theme stylesheet does.
You will need to copy the original /bbpress/bbpress.css file and then add your changes over there.
Best,
Juan.
