```
/**
 * Bootstrap classes if sidebar
 **/
public function sidebarCss()
{
    return 'col-lg-8';
}

/**
 * Classes if no sidebar
 **/
public function noSidebarCss()
{
    if (is_front_page()) {
    return 'small-12';
    } else {
    return 'col-lg-8 offset-lg-2';
    }
}
```

The problem is with bbpress.

I had to add this bbpress.php file to make bbpress work within sage:

```
<?php

echo App\Template('page');
```

The main bbpress page works correctly, but if I go to any subpages within bbpress, I get the variable warning.

Solution:

It wasn’t injecting data from the App controller to the Page template for bbpress.

Below is the solution, pass the data to the template.

```
<?php

echo App\template('page', $__data);
```

Thank you Roots forums!!!
