can you tell me what you are putting as the shortcode?
https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/
should answer your questions, but do come back if you need further help !
can we have a url so that we can see.
If you do, then do follow the getting started bit, in particular the link to the plugin that tells you what file is being used.
Come back, and we’ll help work out how to fix, but we need to know what file, and that you can access it to be able to help !
but in your case probably not.
As you don’t have FTP access, and your theme is the Karma theme which is a paid theme – I’d suggest you try their support page to see if they can help.
The problem is that wordpress was designed to work with templates that were different for each type eg template for page with sidebar, another template for page without sidebar.
The trouble is that theme authors are getting too clever ,and nowadays write a single big page template that bbpress cannot easily react with.
So your theme displays one template for the main page, but then bbpress can’t work with it for the other sub pages, as it doesn’t know how the theme is using the template.
Ok, so that’s the explanation, but probably doesn’t help you at all.
If you know some wp stuff then this might help

If the forum is public, and you don’t allow anonymous posting, then users should be able to see all topics and replies but not be able to post.
an example

I haven’t tried it, but this plugin may be what you want.
If you try it, PLEASE let us know if it works and does what it says !

ideally we need to see a real page, so that we can see what your theme is doing.
Obviously I can get to your site, but if you contact me via my website http://www.rewweb.co.uk with user access (NOT ADMIN!!, just a common user) I can see these pages and help
bbPress is tested with wordpress default themes. It maybe a conflict – you need to check plugins and themes
It could be a theme or plugin issue
Plugins
Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.
Themes
If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentyfifteen, and see if this fixes.
Then come back
great – glad you’re fixed
great – glad you’re fixed
You can also try my style pack, which has some login features as well as lots of styling stuff

no problem you need my private groups plugin as additional to bbpress.

If you’re a newbie, then install Pascal’s plugin – much easier !
https://en-gb.wordpress.org/plugins/bbp-toolkit/
ok, do let us know what they say
and email rec’d – thanks !
don’t normally post my address, and didn’t plan on leaving it there 🙂
Hey that’s great
yes, maybe easier if you contact me via email
then you can send any files that would be useful
So yes I’d love to see how you created that great layout, and maybe share the code to allow others to get the same effect.
Are you up for that?
Once you’ve installed bbpress if you use the plugin
https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/bbp-private-groups
then you can create groups with access to different forums, or indeed groups of forums
This looks like a buddypress issue – try their support forum
