[Resolved] Sidebar widgets not showing in item nav

  • Hi
    I have been looking around for a solution to this for a day or so now and cant seem to find anything that solves the problem.

    I am using BP Default theme with fishbook child theme, the problem is when i log in as a user or admin the widgets in the sidebar only show up in the Activity Tab under the Item Navigation. If i click on Profile, messages, Friends, Achievements the widgets then disappear. I am going nuts over this any help here would be really appreciated.

    Thanks in advance.

    Haven’t seen sidebar widgets disappear when I last tested Fishbook. Site URI?

    I have put a calendar widget in area and it only shows on activity. NOT on any of these Profile, messages, Friends, Achievements along the item navigation??

    To troubleshoot, deactivate all plugins except BuddyPress and change to bp-default theme. You will note that sidebar widgets will not disappear when you move from one BP component to the other. Then activate fishbook theme, then plugins one at a time to determine what is causing erratic behavior in your site.

    Thanks for your replies, i did try this but couldnt find the problem.

    To solve the problem i copied the twenty ten sidebar.php and put that in to buddypress default theme, then copied the “register” sidebar from the function.php file of twenty ten and added it to the buddypress default theme function file. and hay presto it is working.

    Hope it helps someone else if need.

    == 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.
