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!!!!

Solved my issue

Provides basic compatibility with bbPress and the Genesis Framework with a few extra goodies.

This plugin replaces WooCommerce’s built-in shop templates with its own Genesis-ready versions, specifically the <code>single-product.php</code>, <code>archive-product.php</code> and <code>taxonomy.php</code> templates needed to display the single product page, the main shop page, and Product Category and Product Tag archive pages.
To allow easy customization of these templates, and ensure that you do not lose your customizations when the plugin is updated, you can place your own copies of these templates in your child theme’s ‘woocommerce’ folder and customize these copies as much as you like. You can also create your own <code>taxonomy-{taxonomy}.php</code> and <code>taxonomy-{taxonomy}-{term}.php</code> templates in the same location and this plugin will find them and use them to display your shop’s Product Category and Product Tag archives. See the <a href="https://codex.wordpress.org/Template_Hierarchy#Custom_Taxonomies_display" rel="nofollow ugc">Template Hierarchy</a> to learn more about naming requirements for taxonomy templates.
Additionally, the plugin makes <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-sidebars/" rel="ugc">Genesis Simple Sidebars</a> and <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/genesis-simple-menus/" rel="ugc">Genesis Simple Menus</a> compatible with WooCommerce.
This version is compatible with WooCommerce 3.3+
<h4>Technical Info</h4>
For more technically minded users, this is what the plugin does:
<ul>
<li>Unhooks the WooCommerce template loader function</li>
<li>Adds its own template loader function to control the templates used by the single product, archive product and Product Category and Product Tag (taxonomy) archive pages.</li>
<li>Adds Genesis Layouts and SEO support to the WooCommerce <code>Product</code> custom post type</li>
<li>Provides three Genesis-ready templates to display the shop pages, located in the plugin’s <code>templates</code> folder:
<ul>
<li>single-product.php</li>
<li>archive-product.php</li>
<li>taxonomy.php</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>These templates use WooCommerce core functions to display the shop loops which:
<ul>
<li>unhook WooCommerce’s built-in breadcrumbs</li>
<li>unhook the Genesis Loop and replace it with the relevant WooCommerce shop loop</li>
<li>remove WooCommerce’s #container and #content divs, which are not required or wanted by Genesis</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>The shop loop function in each template is heavily based on its WooCommerce counterpart, but has been modified to accommodate certain Genesis features such as the Taxonomy term headings and descriptions feature.</li>
<li>The templates contain the <code>genesis();</code> function and therefore are fully customisable using Genesis hooks and filters.</li>
<li>The template loader allows users to use their own templates in the child theme’s ‘woocommerce’ folder. These user templates, if they exist in the child theme’s `woocommerce’ folder, will be loaded in place of the supplied Genesis Connect for WooCommerce templates</li>
<li>Using appropriate filters, modifies the Genesis breadcrumbs output to mimic the breadcrumb structure provided by WooCommerce’s built-in breadcrumbs.</li>
</ul>
<h4>More about breadcrumbs</h4>
By default, the Genesis breadcrumbs do not provide the same breadcrumb structure as those built-in to WooCommerce. Genesis Connect for WooCommerce modifies the normal Genesis Breadcrumbs output on shop pages to mimic the structure of those built-in to WooCommerce.
Note that the templates provided in this plugin automatically unhook WooCommerce’s built-in breadcrumbs via this code in each template: 
 remove_action( ‘woocommerce_before_main_content’, ‘woocommerce_breadcrumb’, 20 );
<h4>Filters</h4>
This plugin provides some filters which may be useful for developers.
<pre><code>genesiswooc_custom_query
</code></pre>
Located in <code>gencwooc_single_product_loop()</code> in <code>templates/single-product.php</code>. 
The filter callback function should return a query object or false.
<pre><code>gencwooc_product_archive_crumb
</code></pre>
Located in <code>gencwooc_get_archive_crumb_filter()</code> in <code>lib/breadcrumb.php</code>. 
Allows further modification of the single product page breadcrumbs.
<pre><code>gencwooc_single_product_crumb
</code></pre>
Located in <code>gencwooc_get_single_crumb()</code> in <code>lib/breadcrumb.php</code>. 
Allows further modification of the product archive (shop page) breadcrumbs.
<h4>More info about WooCommerce CSS handling</h4>
For the benefit of theme developers and customizers, here is a summary of possible scenarios for dealing with WooCommerce CSS:
<ul>
<li>Case 1: If the WooCommerce > General settings > Enable WooCommerce CSS option is checked, the default stylesheet supplied with WooCommerce will be loaded (see <code>wp-content/plugins/woocommerce/assets/css/woocommerce.css</code>).</li>
<li>Case 2: If WooCommerce > General settings > Enable WooCommerce CSS option is unchecked, no stylesheet is loaded.</li>
<li>Case 3: If the user (or theme developer) sets <code>define( 'WOOCOMMERCE_USE_CSS', true );</code> in the child theme functions.php the options setting is ignored and the default WooCommerce stylesheet is loaded, ie has same effect as checking the settings box.</li>
<li>Case 4: If the user (or theme developer) sets <code>define( 'WOOCOMMERCE_USE_CSS', false );</code> in the child theme functions.php the options setting is ignored and NO stylesheet is loaded, ie has same effect as unchecking the settings box. Note: the value of WOOCOMMERCE_USE_CSS always takes precedence over the WooCommerce Settings page option!</li>
<li>If either Case 1 or Case 3 applies, if themes/my-child-theme/woocommerce/styles.css exists it will be loaded in place of the default woocommerce stylesheet (plugins/woocommerce/assets/css/woocommerce.css).</li>
<li>If either Case 2 or 4 applies, as no built-in stylesheet is loaded, all WooCommerce CSS styles need to be added to the theme’s main style.css stylesheet</li>
<li>Note for Genesis child theme developers: For new themes, theme developers can use <code>define( 'WOOCOMMERCE_USE_CSS', false );</code> and place all WooCommerce styles in the theme’s main stylesheet, or do nothing and let the user handle this via Case 1 or 3.</li>
<li>The above information is based on WooCommerce 1.4.4</li>
</ul>
