I have just installed bbPress and this plugin.

I activated the plugin and in the bbPress widget, I placed bbPress search widget.

When I go to the forums page, the bbPress-specific sidebar doesn’t seem to appear – at least I don’t see the bbPress search widget. Also, the CMS/normal sidebar doesn’t seem to be removed – the sidebar seems exactly like the sidebar for the rest of the site.

Finally, I tried selecting single.php as default forum wrapper. But this doesn’t seem to make any difference at all – I still see the *normal* 3-column/2-sidebar page when I visit forums.

Please help!

P.S. Searching on bbpress.org plugin browser does not show this plugin

I have the same problem… must be more to it than just dragging the widgets over to the bbpress sidebar.

Was anyone able to solve this issue? I am having the same problem.

The plugin section on bbpress.org is only related to the old standalone branch, for all things bbPress 2.x look at WordPress.org repository:

https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tags/bbpress

Also, support questions for bbPress 2.x plugins are better placed in the specific plugin support forums for each plugin! The chance the authors see it and respond is much higher than here!

For the sidebar issue with “bbPress WP Tweaks” plugin:

These issues are more THEME-related than plugin-related! The problem some theme do a little crazy things with their sidebar management or registration so we have sometimes a hard time to get such things working.

Have you any URLs to your sites or could give the theme names/URLs?

For the above mentioned plugin you might also have a look at the plugin specific support forum here:
