Many thanks for this, this makes sense and looks like a logical solution.
But, I’ve realised my issue is probably bigger than I thought. It’s not just a sidebar issue but more fundamental. When viewing or posting a new topic or reply the forum ‘jumps’ out of its parent page.
e.g –
(Viewing forum1 which is embedded in page1 using shortcode)
When I post a new topic my url changes to:
/’forum-root-slug’/’topic-slug’/
and so I have ‘jumped-out’ of my original location. This is not what I want to happen. I want the user to stay within the current location. And so, sidebar1 should also stay there without any hacks/workarounds, and sidebar2 should also stay in place for page2 which contains forum2 etc.
So going forward:
==> Any idea how to set a dynamic ‘forum-root-slug’ so that it is whatever the parent location is?
I wonder if this might be the solution for me. I will try to check this out later to see if it resolves the problem.
Navigation: topic or reply belongs to which forum?
Ok interesting, thanks for your reply.
Or maybe this can be solved with custom slugs or something?
Is it possible to give forum1 the url /forum1/ and then forum2 the url /forum2/ which is also used after posting new topic or replying to topic?
Or perhaps separate installations of bbpress with different plugin names similar to above?
