I’m trying to set up a forum on a beta (read: fresh) install of WordPress before I move it over to live. However, I can’t get any widgets to show up on the forums, no matter what theme I am using. Instead, all I get is a 2/3 width forum and a blank widget sidebar.

What can I do to fix this?

I should add that I’m using Twenty Eleven (modified via a child theme).

This isn’t the actual site, but here’s an example of what’s going wrong: http://www.jrpgclub.com/forum/test-forum-1/

The best I can do is get the sidebar showing up underneath to forums.

(I don’t think the sidebar will show up on any other pages in the forum section yet, as I have added the code into any other templates.)

All I needed to do to get them to show was drop in:

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

Correct positioning is a real hassle though. Can anyone help me? I’d very much appreciate it.
