Melindrea, Thanks for clarifying what to change in the forum pages.
Would I have to manually change div id=”container” to div id=”primary” every time a new forum page is created (such as when a visitor creates a new forum thread?

Hi, Melindrea.
I know the feeling!You wrote
> change to in the forum pages
What changes exactly should I make in the forum pages (HTML)?
Hi, everyone. Still patiently waiting for help.
Hello all. Some of you have graciously offered to take a look at the website. I’ve posted links to the HTML and CSS but have not received any responses yet.
Please help if you can.
Dear all,
Please let me know if there are any files you need to inspect.
Thanks.Hi, if anyone can diagnose the problem by looking at the stylesheets (CSS) and HTML, we’d be most grateful.
Hi, folks. Please let me know if there are other web files whose source code would be helpful to examine.
Thank you.Dear Melindrea, Lynq, Amunds,
Thank you so much for your willingness to help us. And thanks for your patience.

Melindrea, No I don’t know my way around HTML/CSS.

In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?Dear Netweb and all other helpful folks,
I looked in my Child theme’s folder and I have three files in there.
- footer.php
- sidebar.php
- style.css
When I temporarily renamed my Child’s sidebar.php to sidebar.phpTEMPCHANGE, I was able to see the bbpress sidebar.
I remember now why I created a Child sidebar.php file, and it is because I did not want any sidebar to show up when a website visitor uses the search feature. See https://wordpress.org/support/topic/archives-and-meta-widgets-show-up-on-search-results-pages for my post and people’s suggestions.
My child’s sidebar.php contains this:
<!-- https://mail.google.com/mail/u/0/#inbox/1383cda0f1903ca0 'monthly' ) ); ?> --> <!-- #secondary .widget-area -->
What can I do to both:
A. Keep the “Login” and “Meta” from showing up in the nonforum pages
AND
B. Make the bbpress sidebar appear?
Thank you!

In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?netweb, thanks for sharing a screenshot of your forum page. You asked:

I think I partially figured out the problem. I’ve been using a Child theme of Twenty Eleven theme. After reading your post, I switched to the original Twenty Eleven theme, added a widget to the bbpress sidebar and now I see this:
For those who haven’t clicked the links, I see the bbPress sidebar!
Now how can I figure out why my Child theme is not showing the bbPress sidebar???? 🙁
In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?Hi, Netweb,Thank you for your perseverance with me. I appreciate it.
No, I don’t see the sidebar or widgets when viewing /forums (i.e. ourwebsite.com/forums). See screenshot here.
When I’m viewing /forums/general (which redirects to /forums/forum/general/), I do not see any widget or sidebar anywhere at all. 🙁
In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?In my previous post, I linked to images hosted by imageshack, but imageshack has blocked the images from showing up.
I’ve re-uploaded the images to imgur. Here’s a post with revised links.
I made sure that index.php was chosen as wrapper in bbpress WP tweaks setting (screenshot here).
I added some bbpress widgets into the bbpress sidebar (screenshot here).
But I still don’t see any widgets or sidebars on any page on our website (screenshot here).
In my next post, I’ll post a response to netweb.

In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?netweb,I installed and activated bbpress-wp-tweaks. I then added “bbPress Login Widget” into the bbpress sidebar. But i still don’t see it on any of my forum pages.
So, in the hope of simplifying my problem, I am willing to have Login and Register links on all of my website — both forum pages and nonforum pages.
But how can I make a regular sidebar appear in the forum pages?
🙁
In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?P.S. I am using the 99.99%-unmodified Twenty Eleven theme.
(The one modification is removing the “Proudly Powered by WordPress” in the footer.php)
In reply to: How can forum visitors register or log in?DNBrawler,
Thanks for your reply.
I dragged and dropped the bbPress login widget to the Main Sidebar. But I don’t see the login widget on a non-forum page or on a forum page.
What I want people on our site is this:For those who are not logged in, I want them to see “Login” and “Register” on any forum page they visit. When someone clicks “Login” they are taken to a page which asks for their username and password. After successfully logging in, the user is taken back to page on which they clicked “Login”. For someone who clicks “Register”, I want them to be taken to a page that asks them for their desired username, desired password, and email address. I don’t mind if “Login” and “Register” links are not visible on our non-forum pages.
What’s the best and most newbie-friendly way of accomplishing what I envision?
Never mind. I reloaded the page and I see the forum now. I guess bbPress just needed some time.
