If Buddypress, then sidebar and css rules

Is there a conditional function that checks to see whether the given page is a buddypress page of any kind?

I need this for two applications. In the first case, I want my top level navigation link “Communities” to use the css class “active” as long as a buddypress page of any kind is active. In the second application, I want a sidebar I’ve registered to show up on all (but only) buddypress pages.

Many thanks!

Take a look at this page: https://codex.buddypress.org/developer-docs/conditional-template-tags/

Essentially, something like !bp_is_blog_page() will return TRUE when you are on any page that isn’t a WordPress blog page – i.e. when you are on any of the Social Network (BuddyPress) pages.

Alternatively, the default theme already embeds some class information in the body tag – although there is no single one for a BuddyPress page, so you’d have to catch all the different classes.

What Roger says is right.. that’s the way to go.. you can also use the conditional tags to display certain sidebars on certain components only:

`
<?php /* GROUP SIDEBAR */ if(bp_is_group()){
if(!dynamic_sidebar(“Group Sidebar”)){
?>
`
It’s a great way to make your site more dynamic!
