    Hello

    the theme i’m using (jupiter 4) had a bbpress directory at theme root when I installed it. (wp-content/theme/jupiter/bbpress). i imagined for compatibility .. but it’s not

    any recommendations regarding customization regarding ditching jupiter’s included bbpress and following child theme documentation for the plugin)?

    You might create a child theme and just use bbPress plugins theme compatibility and transfer your templates to your own bbpress folder.

    It depends on how your theme structured everything for bbPress , its CSS , and templates.

    Thanks @robkk for you reply.

    I changed the forum root to a page I created within the theme and that page is working well. It was unclear initially that this was permissible/possible.

    If you can help direct me to a guide/guide me through creating a custom .php page so that I can create a sidebar on all page levels (topic, category) I would greatly appreciate it.

    Thank you.

    If you want to develop it manually you can use any of these conditional tags for bbPress and WordPress.

    bbPress Conditional Tags

    or you can use a plugin like

    • Restrict Widgets
    • Widget Logic

    Thanks @Robkk

    I have a couple more regarding registration and login. In both instances, how can I control the page the user goes to after successful login?

    I am using WordPress 4.2.2 running Jupiter theme and using bbpress login shortcode on a page.
    (currently it stays on same login page with a successful login message)

    Any assistance is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks
