Creating sidebar for bbPress

BB Theme
1

Hi. I’m using the Beaver Builder theme and have bbPress installed. I need a new right sidebar for all bbPress generated pages/posts. Can you help me get started? If this is outside the scope of support, let me know.

I’ve read this but not sure how to proceed:

Hey Lana,

Anything that requires file level customization is outside of our support scope. We just love pointing people to the right direction. :slight_smile:

For your case, it may involve a lot of hard coding. I really can’t say for sure since I haven’t dealt with BBPress personally. The links below are some of the BBPress layout discussions here in the forums.

You can also search for the keyword BBPress.

Hope this helps! :slight_smile:

Thanks. The answer came from the post below. I copied tpl-sidebar.php, renamed it bbpress.php, and placed it in Child theme folder. Then I used the WooSidebars plugin to manage widgets. Ta da!
