• I am sorry but this is driving me nuts. For the past hours I have been trying to assign custom sidebars to a page (one that is designated for bbpress, but that should not be the issue here).
    The problem is that that I am unable to override the sidebar layout for that page. Aren’t those supposed to override the global setting? It just doesn’t work. Any things I can try here to isolate the problem?

  • Hi,

    The widget zone in Hueman Theme does not have context for BBPress.
    http://docs.presscustomizr.com/article/240-how-to-display-widget-zones-with-the-hueman-theme

    In other words, you cannot have a “custom sidebar” for BBPress.

    You can try to find a suitable custom sidebar plugin.

    Thank you

    Hi Denzel,

    BBPress offers a few widgets that can be used. The problem is not that, the problem is that, in general, my Hueman theme will not even let me override the sidebar layout rules. I already have a plugin there for custom sidebar, but for that to work, the first step is to override the layout on a particular page. And that is not working.

    I have now managed to override the sidebars. So in general, it seems to work, but as soon as I publish that page, that is assigned to bbpress, it “forgets” its sidebar layout that I have set. Very confusing problem indeed. Something must be causing a conflict, and I have to say, I already hate BBpress even after just playing with it for a day….

    Hi,

    You can post a support request in BBpress plugin’s forum.
    Ask them for help in guiding you to create a custom template for BBpress,
    You should be able to create one from Hueman’s page.php or single.php
    Register your own sidebar to use in your bbpress custom template.

    That’s all I can help on this issue.

    Thank you
