Great suggestion, thanks! I love conditionals…
Ok, I think maybe Tweaks was the problem. I had set up my own sidebar which wasn’t working properly (it was showing up on all my pages, not just the forum pages) and then I installed tweaks as well. After reinstalling bbpress without Tweaks I’ve got the sidebar I originally set up (now working, go figure) with proper breadcrumb trail and the topic list on the forum page. There is a lot of styling and tweaking to do but that should be straightforward.
cheers, Cheryl
Thanks Stephen,
Yes, it is weird! The permalink remedy didn’t work but thanks for responding. I think what I’ll do is make note of any code changes I’ve made and then uninstall and reinstall both bbpress and tweaks. There may be some conflict in there that I can’t see — I started this project a few months ago and went away from it for awhile.
cheers, Cheryl
