    Is there a way to put the sidebar of Buddypress pages on the left side of the page vs. the right?

    Hi there,

    Please add this code to your child theme’s functions.php

    function x_get_content_layout() {

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

    if ( $content_layout != 'full-width' ) {
      if ( is_home() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( is_singular( 'post' ) ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_post_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'on' ) ? 'full-width' : $content_layout;
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio_item() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_portfolio() ) {
        $meta   = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), '_x_portfolio_layout', true );
        $layout = ( $meta == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $meta;
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-content-sidebar.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'content-sidebar';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-sidebar-content.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'sidebar-content';
      } elseif ( is_page_template( 'template-layout-full-width.php' ) ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( is_archive() ) {
        if ( x_is_shop() || x_is_product_category() || x_is_product_tag() ) {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_woocommerce_shop_layout_content' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        } else {
          $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_archive_layout' );
          $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
        }
      } elseif ( x_is_product() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } elseif ( x_is_bbpress() ) {
        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_bbpress_layout_content' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;
      } elseif ( x_is_buddypress() ) {
        $layout = 'sidebar-content';
      } elseif ( is_404() ) {
        $layout = 'full-width';
      } else {
        $layout = $content_layout;
      }
    } else {
      $layout = $content_layout;
    }

    return $layout;

  }

    Then add your custom sidebar and assign it to your BuddyPress page.

    Hope this helps.

    how and where do I copy the code you provided into my functions.php file. Here is what the functions.php file looks like currently.

    
<?php

// =============================================================================
// FUNCTIONS.PHP
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Overwrite or add your own custom functions to X in this file.
// =============================================================================

// =============================================================================
// TABLE OF CONTENTS
// -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
//   01. Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
//   02. Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

// Enqueue Parent Stylesheet
// =============================================================================

add_filter( 'x_enqueue_parent_stylesheet', '__return_true' );

// Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

    Also, how do I add a description of what the code is for when I copy it into the functions.php file? (example: Left BuddyPress Sidebar)

    Hi there,

    You can add them below everything, just below the // Additional Functions. Are you referring the comments as “how do I add a description of what the code is for”? You can do the same as the comment at bottom :

    // Additional Functions
// =============================================================================

    So this is a comment and you can use your comment like this if needed. Now let’s try the code and see the result. Spend a few minutes to understand the code if you need to change them.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Would it look like this?

        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;

    As it relates to adding additional code below that code… how would I put a left sidebar on the BBPress Forums page. 

    
<?php

    $content_layout = x_get_option( 'x_layout_content' );

        $opt    = x_get_option( 'x_blog_layout' );
        $layout = ( $opt == 'sidebar' ) ? $content_layout : $opt;

    Hi There,

    It is a different approach. Please check this thread:https://community.theme.co/forums/topic/add-a-custom-sidebar-to-bbpress-forums/
