Hi… great theme… get lots of compliments.
But I have a problem that users are getting confused by the presence of the login widget on my Register page. Some try to fill in their registration details again in the login fields. I need to suppress the sidebar on the registration page.
My first approach was to choose a No sidebar layout for the registration page, but this selection has no effect on this particular page. The register page seems to ignore this choice. Also there is no non-sidebar alternative to the default template.
All pointers on the web tell me to find the <php> get_sidebar call within the theme and make that call conditional, so it is not invoked if the page is the registration page. I have been searching most of the day to find this within the theme, but have been unable to locate it.

Please can someone advise how to achieve this – either how to get the no sidebar layout to work on the registration page or where to find the get_sidebar call.

thank you

WordPress v4.2.2; BuddyPress v2.2.3.1; bbPress v2.5.7

Hi Tony,

Did you create a registration page? I think that you have not created the registration page so the layout is not working. Create a registration page and then add bbpress forum shortcode on it.

Thank you!

Support… thank you for responding.

Yes, I have an actual page ovni-users.org.uk/register/ and I had set it as the register page in BuddyPress settings. I am not sure why putting the bbpress forum short code on it would help, but I have tried it with no effect. I also tried putting the [bbp-register] code on it and no effect.

I have now tried setting the BuddyPress register page to none but leaving the [bbp-register] on the page. In this case I get a minimal register form without the BuddyPress fields but on a full width page with no sidebar as specified on my Attitude page settings. So in this case, the no sidebar option for this page is working. [But this is not a solution as I need the BuddyPress extended profile login stuff.]

With my page set as the BuddyPress register page, I have tried deactivating all plugins except BuddyPress and the register page has the sidebar still, so it is not a case of some other plugin causing the problem.

I conclude that BuddyPress is generating its register page in a way that overrides the Attitude page layout selection for that page.

Any further advice will be most welcome.

Hi Tony,

We are sorry that we have not tested our site in BuddyPress so it is compatible with it or not. We are sorry for this. To have the effect on this you have to customize the code. If we find any solution then we will let you know.

Thank you!
