content-search.php template issues with certain themes.

[Robkk]

Some themes like TwentyFifteen have a template called content-search.php, well so does bbPress.

So anyone running a theme with the same template file intended for the WordPress search form will have issues with bbPress forum search as bbPress would use this template instead of bbPress'.

Here is an example image of what the user will likely see if they come across the same issue while trying to use bbPress' forum search.

This stinks.

Not much we can do, I don't think.

Moving to 2.7 to investigate further.

I encountered this issue in TwentyFifteen.

Not true.

We could check whether the theme's content-search.php file supports bbPress. This could be as simple as testing for the presence of "bbp_get_search_rewrite_id()" and/or "bbp_has_search_results()" in the theme's content-search.php. If these strings are missing, that's probably not a compatible theme and we probably shouldn't treat it as such.
