Just wondering... Will bbPress work with the ChurcHope theme? Or... Do you have any recommendations for adding a forum to a site with the ChurcHope theme?
Our theme (and any other custom theme) isn't compatible with all third-party plug-ins by default. You often (not always) need to customize the plug-in to make it work properly with the theme. It's impossible for the theme author to make it compatible with all existing plug-ins. Only default wordpress themes are compatible with all third-party plug-ins, because all of them are designed to work with default Wordpress themes.
