Sidebars of my theme empty ?!

Sorry I don’t understand your question. The sidebar looks fine in that screenshot? If it’s design you’re talking about, then it’s just a matter of tweaking your css. Please see FAQs

I was talking about my original theme’s sidebar not appearing. (extreme left and right).

This is most likely because the Knowledgebase page uses it;s own page template “KBE”. If you need to adjust that template you can do so in your theme (it copies the template and related css in there on activation)

I tried KBE, i have to admitt i don’t really know that stuff.
I just changed my theme recently, no more issues. ??

Btw, thanks a lot for your attention.

Cool no worries at all, glad you got it solved ??

Well, i’m sorry to bother you again, but i finally chosed a theme that has the issue too, so i’d really wish to understand how to change the KBE template.

It’s so sad it can’t display as a standard page’s content and just leave the rest of the theme alone. Maybe it’s just impossible ? Maybe you’re already having that on your checklist ?
If so i’ll just wait ! Otherwise, i’m no CSS or PHP programmer, i just understand some code and can tweak it a bit (linux admin, multiple game servers owner, a bit of lua coding… i just know the basics to get what i need working), so do you think i have a chance to be able to do it without ruining your holidays ?

Also, i won’t make a topic for that except if you ask me to, but there’s something very strange to me : See how it looks https://www.mesnie.org/wiki/
=> Lot of stuff is duplicated, there is no link for sub categories even if they exist (example https://www.mesnie.org/knowledgebase_category/metiers/ )… I’d prefer a hundred times having a simple display such as parent/sub_category/articles… But i can’t figure how to do so. Any enlightenment would be very appreciated.

BTW, nice plugin, without those 2 things (and URL that changes and doesn’t correspond to what i chose), i’d be really happy with it ! Thanks for what you’re doing, keep up !

I’m sorry, I really don’t understand the question. Your website looks completely 100% fine to me, with the WP Knowledgebase looking exactly like the demo. Please can you clarify? Try using this template:

Link to page showing the problem:

I expected the plugin to do this:

Instead it did this:

Here’s what I’ve tried so far:

https://www.mesnie.org/boutique/ => Regular page, full width, theme’s sidebar
https://www.mesnie.org/wiki/ => Not full width, no theme’s sidebar

1) The knowledgebase isn’t full width
2) My Theme’s widget bar isn’t showing in Knowledgebase

I don’t know what to do about that (you told me of KBE but i don’t know that stuff, so i’m asking for help about it)

3) I don’t understand how categories work, articles showing several times, sub categories don’t have an easy direct link… Am I dumb or something ?

The way the WP Knowledgebase page looks is controlled by the Page Template which is assigned, which is called “KBE”. If you don’t like the default display style, then you can adjust how the knowledgebase displays by adjust that template, and the corresponding CSS. This requires a low level of css and WordPress code knowledge.

Here is a quick example…

The default container width for that page template is 960px, but your theme content area is much larger, so let’s adjust that using some css like this:

#kbe_container {
  width: 1440px;
}

Now, the left container on the KBE page template also needs adjusting for your width:

.kbe_content_left {
  width: 1100px !important;
}

Now same for the right sidebar:

.kbe_aside {
  width: 300px;
}

So now if you added all the above code to your css then you will see the layout of your knowledgebase is now looking better with your theme.

Now for point (2) the WP Knowledgebase has it’s own sidebar. Again, if you wanted to instead pull in some other sidebar you would have to edit the KBE page template accordingly.

Point (3) > no sub-category support at this point in time, sorry.

While I am very happy to point you in the right direction, advanced customisation is out of the scope of support for this plugin. If you’re not confident making adjustments to the page template and css on your own, then I would suggest to hire a developer for an hour or so, which would be more than enough time to tweak it to look really nice with your own theme. Hope that helps ??

I’ll check that asap ! Thanks a lot, you rock !

I don’t wanna hire someone for that, i like doing my welbsites all alone with the smallest amount of money (btw i don’t have a lot of money yet :p)

Really, that plugin has a great potential, it just lacks just a few functionnalities but i know the work it represents, so right now i’ll just try to make it the way i want with the piece of information you gave me.

Thanks again, i’ll keep you informed of what i was able to achieve or not.
