Any update on this one? What I think I really want to do is create a sidebar like the one on these forums where there is a Forum Info, a Topic Info, a Topic Tags, and a Search field.
Any tips on how I can make that happen? 🙂 That would be fantastic!
Sounds like something in your sidebar is calling query_posts() or some other query that’s nooping your main query loop. Or, your sidebar is being included before the main content, and manipulating the main query.
Either way, you’ll probably have better luck making a bbpress.php template in the root of your theme, and including your sidebar there. That way it’s done in one shot, without needing to manipulate a bunch of template files.
