Will GD work seamlessly with bbpress forum plugin with a single sign on? Is it the preferred forum plugin with GD?

I see buddypress threads I can’t seem to find any clear information regarding bbpress

Would you mind to direct me to the proper thread or documentation?

Sorry I forgot to mention that I also like to use Genesis Framework and some of the child themes in the download section along with bbpress.

Do I need to keep the GD Framework (GDF) active or do I delete it when I activate Genesis Framework?

You should be able to use bbpress without any problem, and if you use buddypress as well, the GD-buddypress plugin should integrate everything nicely.

As far as I know you do not need the Genesis child themes anymore, but just use the compatibility settings in GD. You do not need to keep GDF active, but will need to activate the Genesis framework. And creating a child theme is always the best idea, regardless of what theme you use.

I’ll alert Paolo as well, so he can check my theme comments, he is more familiar with Genesis.

Thank you, Guust.

Yes, I will use bbpress on a site and buddypress on another. I just want to make sure it works well regardless of what framework and child theme I use including all the child themes here: http://www.wpgeothemes.com

I wil wait for Paolo’s confirmation. Thanks again.

BBpress uses regular wordpress register and login like GD. No possible conflict there.

Once you activate the Genesis child theme, having or not GDF in your folder won’t change anything. You must have Genesis though within your theme folder.

I’m not sure those child theme will look good out of the box with BBpress. I’ve never tested.

Thanks
