How do I assign a sidebar to be used when a user is in buddy press or bbpress? I don’t want them to use the main sidebar that everything else uses. I see that I can assign the sidebar to a taxamony or to a page. I also don’t see an option in customization except:
Layout
*Use Global Content Layout
Fullwidth

Hello Josiah,

Thanks for writing in!

To add sidebar in bbpress please walk-through solution shared in following thread:

Thanks.

That worked great for bbpress. How do I do this for BuddyPress?

Hi there,

It’s the same, your customizer’s layout should have sidebar instead of full-width, then the code should be like this,

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

function force_buddypress_sidebar ( $sidebar ) {
return x_is_buddypress() ? 'REPLACE_THIS_WITH_SIDEBAR_ID' : $sidebar;
}

And just change the ID with your custom sidebar’s ID.

Cheers!

Perfect. Thank you very much.
