Adding Sidebar To All Dynamic Member Pages

I currently have the standard BP install on my site using the Avada theme. Everything works great except that I cannot figure out how to get the sidebar on the dynamic pages /members/name/profile, members/name/notifications etc.

I do have the sidebar enabled for the page members, and it does show up on domain.com/members. But not on any of the other pages. I tried enabling site-wide sidebars, but still nothing which leads me to believe the sidebar is not being called in the template.

The problem is I don’t know which file is being used as a template for those pages, and I’m not exactly sure how to call the sidebar. I could try duplicating the sidebar code from my single.php file, but I still do not know where it needs to go.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Guess you have to read Avada’s help support.

Avada Documentation

By default, BuddyPress use theme’s page.php
Try to assign a sidebar to page.php via Avada customizer.

Or if you prefer to code your own template, WP function is get_sidebar(); See how to use it in page.php in Twenty Thirteen

@danbp That’s the thing it’s already in the page template from what I can tell, which is why I don’t understand why it’s not working. Everything looks like it should work as long as I have the sidebar enabled on the page and I do.

There are certain pages on the site that cannot have a sidebar. I just don’t understand what’s causing the sidebar to work on domain/members and not domain/members/name/profile.

Should these dynamic child pages all be the same as the parent?

We can’t answer to this as we have no free access to a premium theme like Avada. Sorry !
You have to ask on your theme support.

Yes ! Even if these are not child pages, but simple template parts

Okay, I’ll try mucking around a bit more. Worse comes to worse i’ll add a conditional to call it for that particular page. Thanks for the suggestions though.
