 * Hi
 * I love the theme but am having issues with bbpress. The problem seems to be some
   kind of conflict in using page.php as a wrapper for the forum pages.
 * If I copy, for example, single-topic.php from the bbpress templates/extras folder
   to the theme root, everything shows on the page, but the formatting is all messed
   up (lack of padding, sidebar widgets below the actual sidebar, etc), because 
   the page.php wrapper doesn’t seem to load at all:

 * If I don’t copy the file over to the theme root from bbpress templates/extras,
   then the page.php classes all load so the page is rendered correctly, but some
   vital things are missing, like the title of the forum in this example:

 * Any ideas how to fix this?
 * Many thanks

 * Also I see that there are problems with the character between bbPress and theme.

 * Thanks – What do you mean by the “character”?
 * Regarding the original question, it turns out the the theme was using single.
   php as the template, so with a few “if” clauses in there I was able to sort it
   out.

 * When I go to see the forum I see the small font than the font size of the blog.
