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.

Genesis Featured Widget Amplified adds additional functionality to the Genesis Featured Posts Widget. Specifically it:
<ul>
<li>Supports Custom Post Types</li>
<li>Supports Custom Taxonomies</li>
<li>Exclude Term by ID field</li>
<li>Supports Pagination</li>
<li>Supports Meta Key Values</li>
<li>Supports Sorting by Meta Key</li>
<li>Multiple Hooks and Filters for adding additional content</li>
</ul>
This plugin requires the <a href="http://studiopress.com" rel="nofollow ugc">Genesis Theme Framework</a> 
While the plugin will work on the HTML5 “Pro” themes, the HTML markup only supports the older XHTML themes at this time. It is not recommended for use on the new HTML5 themes.
Thanks to David Decker, this plugin is translation ready. German translation files included.
<h3>Special Thanks</h3>
I owe a huge debt of gratitude to all the folks at StudioPress, their themes make my life easier.
