Re: [Resolved] Sidebar widgets not showing in item nav
== copied the “register” sidebar from the function.php file of twenty ten and added it to the buddypress default theme function file ==
So you had to copy the function to register the sidebar from functions.php file of twentyten. Could be that not all files were uploaded properly to server when you installed BuddyPress. I didn’t have to copy anything when I tested fishbook theme or any bp-default child theme.
At this point, it would be beneficial on your end if you download a fresh copy of BuddyPress https://buddypress.org/download/ and re-upload the files manually (FTP/cpanel/etc) to wp-content/plugins/buddypress/ just to make sure that all files have been uploaded.
