bbPress and the Genesis Framework are both fantastic additions to any WordPress site. However, depending on your setup they don’t always play nice right away.
bbPress Genesis Extend does some behind-the-scenes tweaks and fixes to make bbPress/Genesis integration as quick and painless as possible.
Additionally, this plugin also:
<ul>
<li>Adds option for a forum specific sidebar</li>
<li>Adds option to control the layout of your forum, separate from Genesis</li>
<li>Adds Genesis Layout Controls for Forums</li>
<li>If a forum has a specific layout set, all topics in that forum will use that layout.</li>
<li>Adds Genesis SEO Controls for Forums</li>
<li>Adds option to disable bbPress Forum and Topic descriptions.</li>
</ul>
The forum sidebar and layout options are located on the Genesis Settings page, look for ‘bbPress’.

Hi Jared,
I just HAD to chime in and give you some props for this plugin! It saved my day!
I was seeing some very strange behavior when setting up my bbPress forum within a Genesis Child theme and started Googling only to find that you've solved the issues with your plugin.
Many thanks for making this available to the community!



Excellent options for using bbPress with a Genesis Child theme. Awesome!

Ran into a strange conflict where the main forum index page (/forums) was not displaying correctly on several Genesis themes. This plugin solved the issue. 

Thank you!!!!

Customizing the contents of the Page Not Found page in any WordPress theme can be tricky, and usually involes editing the 404.php template file. The Genesis Framework already abstracts the default content of the page into a function, and this plugin can unhook that and replace it with your own custom title and content.
Use [genesis-404-search] shortcode to add a search form to the page.
If you’d like to dynamically list content (ex: most recent posts), I recommend you install the <a href="https://www.wordpress.org/extend/plugins/display-posts-shortcode/" rel="nofollow ugc">Display Posts Shortcode</a> and use it in the 404 page’s content.
