 * Hi there.
 * My file is in the right place \wp-content\themes\brickyard\bbpress\loop-forums
   but it is ignored, the forum displays as usual … There is no error …
 * Can you help me please ? 🙂

 * Okay that’s really strange … In fact, the loop-forums.php is not ignored at all,
   it’s just that it changes nothing.
 * Because if I delete the original loop-forums.php in \wp-content\plugins\bbpress\
   templates\default\bbpress, the forum is not displayed anymore then if I move 
   the loop-forums.php from extra to \wp-content\themes\xxx\bbpress it is displayed
   again.
 * So yeah, the loop-forums.php isn’t ignored, it changes nothing.
    But I checked,
   they are both different so I don’t understand why they both display the same 
   result … And of course I closed my browser (and I tried to display with Internet
   Explorer too, cleared cache, …).
 * But I’m runing my blog on WAMP Server, I’ve no idea if it the issue origin ?

 * I can’t speak for whether the code works on wamp servers – simply because I have
   not tested. WAMP and bbpress do have some issues in some cases I understand.

 * I tried to host it online, WAMP is not the issue.
 * Still I don’t get how is it possible to display the same thing with a different
   code …
 * EDIT : I can say that is not related to my theme neither, I tried with Twenty
   Fourteen, same problem.

 * sorry ananotheruser, I just forked some code from elsewhere to offer this as 
   an extra. It works on my test site, so I don’t know why it doesn’t for you.

 * Is it possible to ask you from where you took the code ? Maybe there would be
   someone able to help me ?
 * But thank you anyway I’ll deal with it then. ^^

 * ok, the original post was

 * but that does say post to the theme directory, so maybe try
 * \wp-content\themes\brickyard\loop-forums.php
 * and please let me know if that works
