You should always use a child theme instead of modifying the theme directly because if you update that theme then it will overwrite any modifications you made but if you made a child theme then the update will not effect modifications and all mods in the child theme will be preserved.

@chase8705 What theme are you using? Is your default Page layout with sidebar or not?

BP generates content via your theme’s page.php file. So if your regular pages have widgets in sidebar, then those widgets and sidebar should show up in pages with BP components.

@chase8705 you’re using a caching plugin so I probably can’t see any changes, as long as you wrapped it in php tags everything’s good.

having lots of plugins isn’t “bad” but the more you have, the more problems that can crop up, load times, compatibility etc etc etc

to locate your themes footer, go to your dashboard>appearance>editor and locate footer.php you’ll probably find wp_footer(); on its own, it needs to be <?php wp_footer(); ?> @chase8705

@chase8705 btw, your theme’s not including wp_footer by the looks of things and many plugins use it, go edit your footer and wrap wp_footer(); in php tags

@chase8705 disabling and enabling a plugin shouldn’t cause any problems, some save settings permanently however. Anyway, the fact you have “lots” of plugins, is probably the issue and the quickest solution is to disable them and check to see if the problems fixed.

@chase8705 disable plugins, default theme and check if it’s still greyed out

@chase8705 when you go to the register page while you’re still logged in, default behavior is to go to home page. Log out first before going to registration page.
