Hi songjiekun!

Which version of Enfold are you using? Please note that we may need a temporary admin login to look into the issue

Hey!

Please update Enfold to the latest version 3.0.2 via FTP and make sure to overwrite all files – http://vimeo.com/67209750

Changelog :2014 October 19th – Version 3.0.2
it didn’t mention that this update fix this specific problem. anyway,i will try it first.

updated and fixed nothing. so disappointed for this support.

I am sorry that you are but there is something wrong with your installation as you can see from errors in console – http://i.imgur.com/vsUgtgt.png Re-updating the theme via FTP should have corrected them. Layout section does not appear on your pages. Can you try switching to parent theme and check if it appears on Enfold parent theme?

Best regards,

thank you.

Hey!

Please give us full admin right so that we can debug the issue. I created a test page and the sidebar works fine. http://999fix.bestvpnreport.com/test-forum/

hi.
at bbpress setting page,there is a forum root slug section. i can set forum root which is “forums”.
and you can see there is a notification at that section “Customize your Forums root. Partner with a WordPress Page and use Shortcodes for more flexibility.” i followed this instruction to make a “forums” page. it is this page have problem which don’t have sidebar.

you test page “http://999fix.bestvpnreport.com/test-forum/” is not set at this section, otherwise it will also have no sidebar.

i can not grant you super admin privileges. i haven’t change any theme code.

finally,i find a solution.
at theme options page. set “Sidebar on Archive Pages” to right or left sidebar .then the sidebar will appear at forums page.
i think this is because bbpress treat forums page as a archive page instead of a normal single page even if you set a single page dedicate to display forums.
very confusing.

hope this can help other people.
