activating WPBB kills all sidebar, footers

i have same problem too

continue previous topic…

indeed i have same trouble as you but at another theme, for this situation, i was make some modification of wpbb-template.php from original code…

<?php

/*
	Template Name: WPBB
*/

/*
	This file is created apon activation or theme switch in your current theme directory.

	Do not remove this file at any time as it is loads all the neccessary files for wp-bb to run on the frontend
*/

get_header();

require_once(ABSPATH.'/wp-content/plugins/wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-forum.php');

get_footer();

?>

to this

<?php
/*
Template Name: WPBB
*/

/*
	This file is created apon activation or theme switch in your current theme directory.

	Do not remove this file at any time as it is loads all the neccessary files for wp-bb to run on the frontend
*/
?>

<?php get_header(); ?>

<!-- ************************************************************* -->

<?php require_once(ABSPATH.'/wp-content/plugins/wp-bulletin-board/php/wpbb-forum.php'); ?>

<!-- ************************* -->
	</div>
</div><!-- close innerContent -->
<?php get_sidebar();?>
<?php get_footer(); ?>

without attention owner developer.

indeed is now sidebar properly show. however, new trouble was come, when i try to create new post, the page automatic go to home page.

so this solution is no yet perfect.

additional information…

i modify it for the themes are called “wood is good”, perhaps the solution no suitable for themes “TwentyEleven”

It’s now some time since I had this problem. I seem to recall that the fix was somewhere in the CSS rather than in the PHP file. Sorry I can’t remember enough to be more specific.
