@jimdoneit,

i see no way to use this feature – maybe my theme is not using the wpforo folder.

Please note, none of the WordPress themes contains the wpforo folders by default, you should create it manually.

hi, and thanks for this response.

i see no way to use this feature – maybe my theme is not using the wpforo folder.

but i had missed the theme selection: i was looking for it in Themes, not in Forum... understandable mistake.

i am now testing different themes.

hi.

i tried to test your different themes as per your own instructions : "wpForo theme files contain the markup and template structure for frontend of your forum. Theme files can be found within the /wpforo/wpf-themes/ directory, in current active theme folder, for example /classic/. You can edit these files in an upgrade-safe way using overrides. For example, copy the certain or all files of /classic/ folder into a folder within your current active WordPress theme named /wpforo/, keeping the same file structure.

Example: To override the "Topic List" template file of the Extended (#1) forum layout, copy according file: plugins/wpforo/wpf-themes/classic/layouts/1/topic.php to themes/yourtheme/wpforo/layouts/1/topic.php"

this does not seem to work in my Cream Magazine theme :

do you have any idea what may be at stake ?

thanks in advance.
