Setting sidebar for BuddyPress/bbPress/Woocommerce

[Oleg]

Some premium themes you can customize the layout of the left/right/not sidebaer, not only for the blog/page, but also for WooCommerce, BuddyPress, bbPress. Can I do this with GeneratePress?

[Tom]

Yes, you can use this filter: https://generatepress.com/knowledgebase/choosing-sidebar-layouts/#sidebar-filter

For example:

WooCommerce

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_woocommerce_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_woocommerce_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	// If we are on a woocommerce page, set the sidebar
 	if ( is_woocommerce() )
 	 	return 'both-left';

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

 }

BuddyPress

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_buddypress_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_buddypress_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	// If we are on a buddypress page, set the sidebar
 	if ( is_buddypress() )
 	 	return 'both-left';

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

 }

bbPress:

add_filter( 'generate_sidebar_layout','generate_custom_bbpress_sidebar_layout' );
function generate_custom_bbpress_sidebar_layout( $layout )
{
 	// If we are on a bbpress page, set the sidebar
 	if ( is_bbpress() )
 	 	return 'both-left';

 	// Or else, set the regular layout
 	return $layout;

 }

Thank you! I can not help wondering how your theme is flexible and convenient. It is much more complicated than it seems at first glance.

[Tom]

It would be nice to have all these options in the customizer but things would get very messy/overwhelming.

Having these filters and hooks everywhere at least makes it so basically anything is possible 🙂

I think your theme somewhere between Genesis and Avada 🙂

[Tom]

Not a bad place to be! 🙂
