Hello,

i am using the latest WP version + a theme. In addition i installed bbpress. So far its working fine, but i have a problem with the widgets.

The Basic Setting is, that the widgets are left hand side.
Please Checke: http://die-analysten.com/forums/

If i enter a Subforum the widget changes from left to right and keeps left, until i leave the subforum.

Can anyone help me?

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

[@pierreledoux Participant 11 years ago]

Hello Robin,

doesn’t work. It seems the same problem had this guy:

Sidebar on left for Forums, then right for Forum and Topic – Why?

The instruction didn’t work in his case also. Any other idea?

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

Did you try his solution?

[@pierreledoux Participant 11 years ago]

yes

with page.php and single.php

renaming into:

plugin-bbpress.php and bbpress.php

[@robin-w Moderator 11 years ago]

I meant adding his code to the style.css ?

[@pierreledoux Participant 11 years ago]

why i shall add this into style css. i didn’t read anything about it.

Can you explain to me, what i shall do exactly?

Regards

The link you gave

Sidebar on left for Forums, then right for Forum and Topic – Why?

had this as his solution

Just swap the floating elements from left to right, where content becomes right and sidebar becomes left. Remember to end with the !important to override any other CSS. Code is thus:

.bbpress.single-forum #main #content {float:right!important;}
.bbpress.single-forum #main #sidebar {float:left!important;}
.bbpress.single-topic #main #content {float:right!important;}
.bbpress.single-topic #main #sidebar {float:left!important;}

You need to put the code in your style.css

Hello Robin,

ok, if you can’t get the right sidebars to show, just have one sidebar and use widget logic to decide what widgets show in which pages

https://wordpress.org/plugins/widget-logic/

then for each widget there is a widget logic box

put

is_bbpress() if you want that wiodget to appear in forums
!is_bbpress if you want it to appear in pages other than forums
and leave blank for both
