Hi Guys,
I’ve been sort of getting on with bbpress installation but have hit a wall.
The page designated to host the forums isn’t showing my default WordPress left side bar.
I think I’ve unticked and re-ticked every option on every bit of setting I can find but it still wont show. I’ve even installed Content Aware Sidebars with the idea of inserting one that way but I cant get that to work either.
What the heck am I missing (I’m a WP newbie). WP: 4.3.1 Theme: Jolene
The affected page is here.
Club News & Forums
(the password to these learn-as-I-go pages is ccc but don’t tell anyone.
Cheers in advance,
Eugene.

Thanks for that idea but I’ve been through all of them, in several variants. I’m going to try to make a duplicate for my current left side bar with bbpress tools used for custom sidebars. If that works nobody will know the difference. My biggest problem is that when I build this site, at it’s permanent domain, I wanted to be able to hand it over in the most simple form possible. The fewer the plugins I have to explain the better.
I thought I had the forum issue nailed with WP Symposium until it wanted $99 before I could even add a file upload or subscribe to forum option.
This is my first time with WordPress and I love it to bits…other than right at this minute 🙂
Thanks again.

Stop Press. I’ve had another go with Content Aware Side bar and all is fine and dandy (except) my custom menu now needs a slight re-build. There’s always something isn’t there 🙂

Glad you got yourself sorted out in your issue.

I also see that there is a huge avatar issue on your site so inserting this CSS into your child themes style css file or in a custom css plugin will fix that.

#bbpress-forums p.bbp-topic-meta img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-reply-revision-log img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums ul.bbp-topic-revision-log img.avatar,
#bbpress-forums div.bbp-template-notice img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_topics img.avatar, 
#bbpress-forums .widget_display_replies img.avatar {
    margin-bottom: 0;
    vertical-align: middle;
    border: 1px solid #ddd;
    width: 14px !important;
    height: 14px !Important;
}

Cheers Robkk,
Always thought it looked awful. That was on my ask-about-that list.
Thank you so much for taking the trouble to provide the fix.
Lovin’ this WP experience 🙂
