Thank you for the help. I tried the plug in proposed by Tren
and the solution at https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/988?replies=4#post-6373. Only Charly54’s solution worked (Thank you Charly54), but only partially. The solution works with the default theme (Kakumei). I downloaded Bloody Gray 1.1 by Aditya Naik, removed Tren’s patch-to-URL plugin, Kakumei still works, I can see the preview of “Bloody Gray” in the Admin/presentation page. Once “Bloody Gray” is selected as the theme Firefox 2.0 show nothing and no code. When looking at the same page in IE 7.0 I get `<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN”>
<HTML><HEAD>
<META http-equiv=Content-Type content=”text/html; charset=utf-8″></HEAD>
<BODY></BODY></HTML>`
An empty page!. Thank you for you help, I will get another theme and try to understand what is happening, looks like many have struggle with this issue.
