Sidebar not showing

[nanettedp]

I created a sidebar under appearance\sidebar. I then added widgets to the sidebar under appearance\widgets. I then went to my members page (page where I want to the sidebar to be visible) and chose the correct sidebar under the sidebar option field.
What am I missing, why is the sidebar not displaying?

Hello, the buddypress sidebar is set from Sweetdate > buddypress and is under buddypress sidebar

Tx Laura, are you talking about Buddypress Pages Layout? I did set the buddypress sidebar to right sidebar under Sweetdate > buddypress. I don’t see any other buddypress sidebar settings.
The horizontal search menu is showing, but not the custom sidebar that I created.

Hello, is because that page has no sidebar 🙂 The members directory doesnt have a sidebar

I am having this same issue with my posts page (DOMAIN.us/blog/). What am I doing wrong? It worked for a long time and now it doesn’t.

Hello, please use the theme options to select the layout of the pages 🙂

You will have to go to “Appearance > Sidebars” and create a sidebar called exactly “BuddyPress”, secondly in your child theme, create a file called sidebar-buddypress.php and paste the following code:

COPY CODE

<?php
$sidebar_class = 'four';
$kleo_layout = sq_option('buddypress_sidebar', 'right');
$six_templates = array('3ll', '3rr', '3lr');

if ($kleo_layout == 'right' || $kleo_layout == 'left' ) {
    $sidebar_class = 'four';
}
elseif (in_array($kleo_layout, $six_templates)) {
    $sidebar_class = 'three';
}

?>
<aside class="<?php echo apply_filters('kleo_sidebar_class',$sidebar_class);?> columns">

    <div class="widgets-container sidebar_location">
        <?php dynamic_sidebar( 'buddypress' );?>
    </div>

</aside>

Now your buddypress sidebar will work without any issues.

Thank you for the help. However, this suggested solution did not work. I added the file in the child theme. I added the sidebar via the UI and followed the specific naming convention. I am trying to get this sidebar to display on our blog page.

Screenshots are attached.
Hope to hear from you soon.

Well until now you were talking about the buddypress area sidebar, for the blog archive page you can only use the main sidebar, changing it will require some extra customizations.

Ok great. I used the main sidebar and it works. How can I use different sidebars?

[Andrei]

At the moment there is no option to change it, more customizations would be required to do that.
You can use the main sidebar for your blog, and create a second sidebar and assign it to other pages.

Sorry to jump in here … But I wanted exactly this … To create a BuddyPress specific side bar to show under my Buddypress Activity page. I did exactly as directed above but still it is pulling the Main Sidebar.

I am using Kleo Theme and my site is blocked to nonmembers so posting a link wouldn’t do much good. I can give you support access if needed.

[Andrei]

This solution won’t work on the kleo theme, don’t even try to apply it.
Please open a new topic in the right section describing your issue in detail.

Cheers

Is there a way to give the members directory a sidebar?

[Andrei]

Not without some custom template modifications to the directory template.
