bbPress sidebar not working

    I’m new with the WordPress and building my first webpage. I have installed bbPress and bbPress WP Tweaks plugin and created Forum page. Forum appears on forum page, but login sidebar widget does not. bbPress sidebar area is showing on Widgets settings and I have added login widget to it. Still sidebar is not showing on Forum page. If I add login widget to main sidebar widget area, then login widget will show on every page. Why bbPress sidebar widget area is not working? Is this a bug? I have tried this with many WordPress themes with no luck.

    I’m currently using WordPress 4.7.2 with Twenty Twelve theme and bbPress 2.5.12-6148.
    My website is not yet public.

    twentytwelve does not have a bbpress widgets sidebar as standard – do you know how you got this?

    sorry, missed that you were using wp tweaks which adds this sidebar. This plugin has no support, and doesn’t work with several themes by the look of it.

    suggest you try

    https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

    the logic for forum pages is

    is_bbpress()

    for a widget to only show on forum pages

    and to exclude from forum pages is

    !is_bbpress()

    I had to create child theme for Twenty Sixteen. After that, bbPress sidebar went on bottom of the page. What I have to do to get sidebar back to side of the page?
