I found a Solution: WPMU Custom Sidebar
SOO HAPPS! 😉
Your welcome future humans with this problem!
Is there another way to set custom sidebars to the buddypress pages without resorting to changing the “Main Side Bar” (which defaults all over the site) ?
I tried changing this by editing the associated page ( eg http://www.sitename.com/activity ) then useing the “Sidebar” feild at the bottom of the wordpress page to pick the desired Sidebar. This works perfectly for normal pages, However, when I view the activity steam on my buddpress profile I still get the Defalut sidebar (which in my case is called “Main Sidebar”).
The issue is, i need to keep the “Main Sidebar” open as i have navigational wigests and menus that only apply to when you are searching catigories and posts. This needs to be there because you cannot customize side bars on Archive pages. This is vital for easing browsing on those posts. SO it makes no sense when you see this side bar when navigating through my buddypress pages. I would like the custom side bar “Social Bar” To show up that i configued to show relevent info to a browsing user in that space.
The two solotions that would work is, either
1) Replace the default side bar to satisfiy buddypress needs, then figure out how to add custom side bar on Archive pages.
2) Figure out how to add customside bar on Buddypress pages so i can keep the default one open for archive pages.
Unfortunately I am building on a localhost environment as well, I wont have the site live until early February.
However I know the issue only occurs when the portfolio posts are all exclusively video oembeds posts. It is corrected if one of the items in any active category is a an image. To test this simply create an isolated dummy category and post with any oembed video service (youtube,vimeo) and exclusively display it in a page.
I will be following this post for any updates and work my best to help if i can as I need this to work!
