If a planet is tidally locked and in the relative habitable zone of its star, would the tidal forces be strong enough to increase volcanic activity on the side of the planet facing towards the star?

And would this also increase volcanic activity on the side facing away from the star?

If the planet is tidally locked then we are in a one sided equilibrium. The tidal force still exists but there is no spatio-temproal variation, that is, given a point in space on the planet the tidal force remains constant in time. So all that tides then do is act to adjust the equilibrium shape of the body.

You can be tidally locked and still have some tidal effects such as from precession due to a slight departure from a perfectly circular orbit (like occur for the Moon). However, these are negligibly small.
