Dynamic Widgets with BuddyPress – part 2
Hopefully this is not going to be a major never ending soap story.
Anyway, a couple of BuddyPress users ran into something weird with Dynamic Widgets not behaving correctly with static pages. It turns out this looks like some incompatibility between BuddyPress and the used theme. When a static page is requested, the theme notifies Dynamic Widgets of it. But the theme doesn’t say it’s a static page. It says it’s a BuddyPress component. That confuses Dynamic Widgets, going into failsave and doing nothing.
A workaround have been added to development version 1.4.0.3 to prevent this and let Dynamic Widgets follow the correct static page rules. So, when you’re using BuddyPress and seeing some strange behavior within static pages, I recommend to install the latest development version.

Thank you for this. I was looking everywhere for a solution to this problem and of course I should have just come straight to the source.
Cheers

Appreciate you taking time to look into this issue – I have had the same issue too and been tearing my hair out!
