what theme are you using?

[@terrenuit Participant 9 months, 1 week ago]

Hi, the theme is Astra. thanks !

[@robin-w Moderator 9 months, 1 week ago]

so set a global sidebar and make this the default

and bbpress should use this.

I use the free version ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ which adds a dedicated BBPress sidebar to all forum pages including any searches.

Its a little outdated, but works well for myself.

My dedicated BBPRESS Sidebar is on the Right:

Hi,
Thank you for your plugin, but it cannot setup the widget coulumn,
I have tried many methods, but no solution.

[@uksentinel Participant 9 months ago]

Interesting, have you activated the ‘bbPress WP Tweaks’ plugin ?
If so, then go to Dashboard > Settings > bbPress WP Tweaks > BBPRESS Side bar and for ACTION select REPLACE. for TARGET select SIDEBAR WIDGET AREA.

Then the BBPRESS Widgets sidebar should be accessible if you go to Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets > BBPRESS Sidebar

If that does not work, you may ave to try with a different theme

[@terrenuit Participant 9 months ago]

Yes, I did as you said, but doesn’t work,
I have another site, I did the same, but it works, they are the same theme Astra.
It’s strange.

[@uksentinel Participant 9 months ago]

Very strange, best next step is to see if any plugins are causing a conflict, if the site is not live, disable one plugin at a time and see if the BBPRESS side bar appears
