    Hi guys i hope someone can help me with this, since i am pulling my hair out, i have been trying for 3 days and nothing, i am sure it is really simple i cant see it.
    So here it comes

    I got a site with a template from buddypress fishbook, i modified the template to my liking, but there is a space on the right unused that would be perfect for a sidebar, i have been trying to add the sidebar but nothing.

    Ok so this is what i did, i created
    rightsidebar.php

    <div id="rightsidebar">

	<?php dynamic_sidebar( 'rightsidebar' ) ?>

</div><!-- #sidebar -->

    then put it in my functions.php

    <?php
add_action( 'widgets_init', 'bpcol_register_sidebars' );

function bpcol_register_sidebars() {
register_sidebar(
	array(
		'id' => 'rightsidebar',
		'name' => 'rightsidebar',
		'before_widget' => '<div id="%1$s" class="widget %2$s">',
		'after_widget' => '</div>',
		'before_title' => '<h3 class="widgettitle">',
		'after_title' => '</h3>'
	)
);
}

?>

    then in my index.php

    <?php locate_template( array( 'leftsidebar.php' ), true ) ?>

    and finally style.cc

    Sorry about the longgg post, but hopefully someone can help with this.
    this is of course a child, the index file i took from buddypress default and put it in the same folder as the theme file, now with the functions i just have the one snippet.

    oh the website name is city kaster

    Note:
    I can see the sidebar in the widgets and add widgets to it but nothing shows up on the site.

    Thanks in advance

    lol now i made matters worse, now when i add a new widget to any bar it changes into a box that doesnt let me type into the widget and gives me two options to either delete or close.
