I am trying to make a forum sidebar visible. I want the forum sidebar to replace my main sidebar on forum pages only. The widgets for bbpress are currently in my “showcase sidebar”, but I do not know how to make the showcase sidebar visible.

how did you create your forum sidebar?

I tried a couple of things. I tried using the showcase sidebar option but could not figure out how to get the sidebar to show only on forum pages. Then I downloaded a custom sidebar widget and dragged the bbpress widgets like new topic, forum search into sidebar. But I still couldn’t get it to appear only on forum pages. Then I installed gd bbpress toolbox. I could drag those widgets for new topic, search, etc. in showcase sidebar but I still was t able to figure out how to make the showcase sidebar visible on forum pages.

Only other thing I can think of is you set up a custom index page with a shortcode and you cannot get the forum sidebar to show up on their?? But does it show on single topics, single forums??
