Hi,

I´m trying to add a custom sidebar to forum main page, topics page and each single topic page, but i don´t see the option in sidebar settings.

What am i doing wrong?

Hi there,

Nah it’s okay. 🙂

You could follow this step on how to add a sidebar.

1. Check your pages if its layout allows you to create a sidebar. whether sidebar-left,content-right or sidebar-right, content-left.

2. If your pages allows you to show sidebars, add sidebars in your Appearance>Sidebars

3. After creating sidebars, manage your sidebars to what pages will it be shown.

4. You can go to Appearance>Widgets for you to customize your sidebar.

hope it helps. Enjoy!

I knew this, but:

#2 I create a sidebar called “forum”

#3 Here is the problem, in the post/page list there`s no forum page (http://frenchiemania.com/foros)

Buddypress pages appear in this list (ex. http://frenchiemania.com/actividad/), but the bbpress no.

Hi there,

Unfortunately, sidebar for bbpress is not yet supported because forum pages are not existing pages (except for single topic and pages) and there is no way to assigned sidebar to non-existing page. I checked the coding just to confirm that.

But, you can always use another alternative. Add this code at your child theme’s functions.php

add_filter('ups_sidebar', 'force_bbpress_sidebar', 20);

function force_bbpress_sidebar ( $sidebar ) {
return x_is_bbpress() ? 'REPLACE_THIS_WITH_SIDEBAR_ID' : $sidebar;
}

Then just replace the dummy string with ID of the sidebar you created at Admin > Appearance > Sidebars.

Hope this helps.

It worked perfectly. Thank you very much.

Hello There,

You’re welcome.
The position of the sidebar will depend on the Global Layout you have set via Appearance > Customize > Layout and Design > Content Layout or on the template page.
If that doesn’t work, would you mind providing us with login credentials so we can take a closer look to your settings? To do this, you can make a post with the following info:

I have a question. Let’s say I want a different sidebar for each group’s forum since each group is a different topic and I would like to put recent posts, etc in the sidebar for that certain forum.

For example, let’s say I wanted a sidebar that had the recent posts activity in it for the “League of Legends” forums and I want that sidebar to only show up on League of Legends forums found in the League of Legends group.

add_filter('ups_sidebar', 'force_bbpress_sidebar', 20);

function force_bbpress_sidebar ( $sidebar ) {
return x_is_bbpress() ? 'REPLACE_THIS_WITH_SIDEBAR_ID' : $sidebar;
}

Is it possible to replace x_is_bbpress() with like the link to that certain page or something along those lines?
