Customized sidebar design
-
Is it possible to customize the sidebar for Muut in WordPress site? How is it done if possible?
When I implement muut.com discussion for my site by using:
https://muut.com/help/#quick-embedding
, it comes with fixed sidebar.I want to be able to add also other than muut widgets to my discussion page sidebar. My discussion board is here:

Hi there!
By default the plugin loads a packaged template for the forum page that plays well with most themes, but not all. Try adding the following line to the bottom of your theme’s functions.php file and it will load the forum in your default template, so your sidebar should display properly as it would on other pages. Let me know if that doesn’t do what you’re wanting!
add_filter( 'muut_use_packaged_forum_template', '__return_false' );Thank you Paul. This allmost does it. It seems to hide the default sidebar of moot. However, I cannot get muut widgets to work. I have added some moot widgets to my wordpress sidebar, but they don’t show up. I also added “search” widged and it seems to show, but none of the moot widgets doesn’t. Any suggestions?
By the way, what are the webhooks and do I need to activate them?
The webhooks are required for the Trending Topics and Latest Comments widgets, but the other three should show; are none of the widgets working—all five? Or just those two.
Let me know!
I tryed four muut widgets. None of them was working 🙁
Other than Muut widgets are working.Just sent you an e-mail about some non-public details. 🙂
Glad we solved it over e-mail! To anyone else reading this, the solution is adding the following block to your theme’s functions.php file:
add_filter('muut_force_online_widget_display', '__return_true' ); add_filter('muut_force_channel_embed_widget_display', '__return_true' ); add_filter('muut_force_my_feed_widget_display', '__return_true' );Those three widgets are hidden by default on the main Forum page, since in most cases the actual forum UX probably provides the functionality required. 🙂
