Theme update broken forum

After my last theme update (Total theme) the forum is broken.

It is now appearing as a post (screenshot attached). If i switch back to the default theme it shows up fine. No caching being used anywhere. Run through troubleshooting with theme support who have said they changed nothing that would break this. Their theme supports bbpress intergration.

Any one any suggestions?

For anyone interested this is the fix

This is actually a bbPress issue with the singular.php template which was introduced in WordPress 4.3 but bbPress doesn’t support it yet. It looks like it has been fixed in core already – https://bbpress.trac.wordpress.org/changeset/5950 – but the update hasn’t been released yet.

If you add the following code to the top of your index.php for your theme it will provide a temp fix:

// bbPress fix while they update things…
if ( function_exists( ‘is_bbpress’ ) && is_bbpress() ) {
get_template_part( ‘singular’ );
return;
}

Glad you found a solution. You could have created a bbpress.php file your theme to inherit for bbPress pages, but since you do have a singular.php file, what you did works too.

I have the same issue with my total theme, but your solution doesn’t work 🙁 Do you have another solution? … maybe I have to set some <?php … ?> before and after the code?

make sure you’re putting it in the index.php in the total theme folder in wp-content/themes

Thank you for your fast answer!

The problem is, that I don’t have access to ftp. Only backend. But I can modify over Appearance > Editor in the backend and then go to index.php.
