I’ve got a custom theme I made, it might not be coded properly since bbpress seems to work fine on twentyfifteen.

Anyway, I use a custom page with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index] inside and the page as a custom model. When I go to my page the forum shows, but when I try for instance to go inside a topic, it doesn’t work and instead of taking me where it should, the shortcode is shown.

As I said I made my own theme and it’s kinda hardcoded, if someone could help me making the modifications I have to make in order to make the forum work, it would be much appreciated.

Thanks.

see if the shortcode works in a default theme first

as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

if it still doesnt see if its a plugin issue

Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the issue

if its not a plugin issue and is working in a default theme then your right about it being your theme

do the other shortcodes work fine?? if so see if you only messed up this file below

did you do any customization to this file content-archive-forum.php
