Question
Hi Guys
I have a problem.
My forum works perfectly and picks up the correct sidebar from the widget areas. (www.lightstalking.com/forums/)
But my ‘latest posts’ page (which is a child page of the forums page) picks up the default wordpress sidebar.
(www.lightstalking.com/forums/latest/)
I want that second child page to have the same sidebar as its parent.
Now, I suspect it is a piece of code in the Buddyboss theme (/sidebar-buddypress.php) (Yes, I will copy the whole file to the child theme)
But what would I need to change to make this happen?
Answers
@straniero I assume you created a page and used a short code, is that correct?
If so, you can copy the default template, the only change is to call the sidebar-bbpress in the get_sidebar function.
Out of curiosity, why does the main forum page call the correct sidebar and the child page not call it?
@straniero it’s all in the page template. The forum template is different than the page template and the sidebar is hardcoded into the template. I’ll suggest to the developers to change the page template to use the bp_current_component to determine which sidebar to display…should be easy enough to do but will not be a high priority on the list.
