Hello,

I’ve created two sidebar widgets to use with bbpress forums (v. 2.5.3) — one for the landing page and the other for bbpress interior pages (forums, topics, etc.). I made a page called bbpress.php (copied from my index page) and have put that in my child theme. From that page I’m calling the bbpress sidebars I created.

The problem is that I can only call one of them — the secondary widget. The widget I created for the forum homepage (which is what I was assuming bbpress.php is) doesn’t appear when I call it (defaults to another sidebar I have set up on the website for page.php).

Does anyone know how to set up two sidebars for bbpress, and the template files from which I should call them?

Thanks, Cheryl

Try making a single sidebar eg sidebar-bbpress.php and call that from your bbpress.php file and use bbPress conditionals

bbPress Conditional Tags

eg

<?php if ( bbp_is_single_forum() || bbp_is_single_topic() || bbp_is_single_reply() ) : ?>
...primary sidebar code here...
<?php else : ?>
...secondary sidebar code here...
<?php endif; ?>

Great suggestion, thanks! I love conditionals…
