Seperate Sidebar For Buddypress Profile

[monkeytoldme]

Hello,

I was wondering if there was any way to have a custom sidebar to just display on my buddypress user profiles. I would really appreciate any help on doing this, as this is the last thing I need to do before the website is completed.

Thanks for your time.

You have to use a conditional widget plugin like this: https://wordpress.org/plugins/dynamic-widgets/

I don’t think that will work. I have already created the sidebar I need for the user profiles (Appearance -> Sidebars) but my problem is, there is no ‘page’ for user profiles so I can’t tell it to use my ‘new’ sidebar.

The user profiles is just using the default sidebars and there is no where I can tell it to use my custom one.

I know. You need to add those widgets to the main sidebar and control which pages they are visible on using a plugin.

I have tried 6 conditional widget plugins, none of them have the option to display on buddy-press profiles. Is there anyway I could edit the buddy-press profile template to show the ‘custom’ sidebar I made?

It seems that this issue only happens with the Kleo theme, I have tried other themes without a problem.

I hope this gets resolved, thanks.

If you dont want to use the plugin I suggested, which seems to work fine on my site. Then you can use Widget Logic and add this to the widgets that you only want displayed on the profile

COPY CODE

bp_is_user()

and this on the ones you dont

COPY CODE

!bp_is_user()

Thank-you so much, this works perfectly. The dynamic widget plugin did not have the option for buddypress profile, it was really weird.

Widget logic worked 100%.

Thanks again.

No problem.

But Dynamic does. See attached.

Honestly, I used both. Widget Logic is simpler to use if you know the php commands to feed it. So stick with that.
