Header and footer widget problems

Hello, I am the dev for http://www.thesojo.net and we have started integrating Buddypress into the site.

I’ve been designing the profile/activity etc pages and noticed that the widgets in the footer that normally show up do not show, nor do the social media icons in the header that should be next to the search bar. Here is my activity stream and profile for reference.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

@junithorn BP 1.7 theme compatibility -> https://codex.buddypress.org/developer/theme-development/a-quick-look-at-1-7-theme-compatibility/ see “Overloading Template Compatibility theme files”

@mercime Thank you, that is very interesting but I can’t seem to figure out how it fixes my issue.

Compare:

http://www.thesojo.net/members/

to

http://www.thesojo.net/members/jesse/

What would cause the widgets to appear on the directory page but not individual users?

@junithorn I placed the link to that page because I had modified member/single/index.php and other files in a Responsive child theme and had no issues with sidebar nor footer widgets.

– Did you create a /community or /buddypress folder within your child theme folder?
– Did you follow the directory structure where you copied the file you wanted to modify from
e.g. bp-legacy/buddypress/members/single/activity.php
to your theme folder in server
wp-content/themes/responsive-child-theme/buddypress/members/single/activity.php ?

TO be honest I’m not exactly sure which file I would have to copy/modify to change anything. The header and footer are perfectly intact save for the widgets (and just in specific member view).
