Not working with BBPRESS

I am having a similar problem with bbpress.

I have created a sidebar called BBPress Sidebar and I can assign it to all my bbpress pages (individual forums, topics, replies, profiles, etc) except the bbpress homepage (which is not the homepage of my site.)

What appears (incorrectly) on that bbpress homepage is the main sidebar. The bbpress homepage is created as a regular wordpress page, with a welcome and other info, then the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]. I have assigned and reassigned the BBPress Sidebar to it, but it continues to default back to the main sidebar.

My theme is AstraPro.

Help!

@kvnhnf

Thank you for the example, to fix this, you should update your conditions to this:

Forums -> All Forums / Forum Archives
Topics -> All Topics / Topic Archives
Replies -> All Replies
OR
bbPress User Profiles -> All Profiles

The “OR” indicates that you should move the bbPress User Profiles condition into its own group. Let me know if this helps!

@anitasmithers

When you select the “bbpress homepage” in the Display Conditions, do you then select the normal page that you inserted the shortcode in, or do you select the “All Forums” condition?

Thanks for getting back to us, Joachim.

I had selected the page with the shortcode on it.

But based on your question, I went in and instead selected the All Forums condition – and of course, now it works!

I would not have guessed that was considered a forum page since I was only using a shortcode (obviously ?? )

So – it’s working properly now. Thank you so much for your help!

Joachim,

My sincere apologies for the late reply here, actually found how to fix it too (glad that Anita also)

had some misconfigurations for years actually there too

Best regards and thanks for your help
