Good afternoon,
I installed bbpress successfully and created a few forum entries.
also added a few test topics.

It displays fine: https://www.dealtimer.com/forums
Also, it displays one of the forum entries with a list of topics fine at
https://www.dealtimer.com/forums/forum/auto-dealer-csi-boosting-ideas
However, when I click one of the topics, it shows a content area blank below the header…
I changed the theme, and it works fine to show topic details and reply..
I even added a single page with a shortcode to display the topic, thinking that the CSS conflicts, it shows fine at https://www.dealtimer.com/single-topic-page.html
However, from the list of topics to browse the topic content, it fails.
When I looked at it, it even called content-single-topic.php code, however, I do not see bbp-container content being supplied to add a topic information page…

Do you have any idea about debugging this problem?
Thank you in advance for your help,

Jay M

hmmm…

However, when I click one of the topics, it shows a content area blank below the header…

I’m seeing this page fine, but some of the other links look horrible

[Robin W]

not sure what I need to be looking at?

Here is one of the topics https://www.dealtimer.com/forums/topic/how-to-get-more-oem-surveys-returned
from the list of topics of https://www.dealtimer.com/forums/forum/auto-dealer-csi-boosting-ideas showing the blank content…

Thanks Robin. I got it… when you clicked on the topics, it showed fine, because I switched the theme to ‘associationX’ to test it..
However, if I use the theme of the website, ‘caffeine’ from muffinworks.com, it shows only topics list, but ont the topic page itself…
Now I switched it back to ‘caffeine’ theme… and you will see blank content for the link https://www.dealtimer.com/forums/topic/how-to-get-more-oem-surveys-returned

Thank you,

sorry, still on association theme when I just tried

[Robin W]

you may need to flush cache

[Robin W]

quite happy to take a quick look, but as you already know this looks like a theme issue,. not bbpress

[Robin W]

ok, I can see it now.

Best I can suggest is

https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/ item 8

otherwise beyond free help I’m afraid

Robin, It seems it is possible to have main site with theme and have a child theme with one of the approved themes of bbpress. Can you please suggest how AssociationX can be made as child theme?

Thank you,

Jay M

[Robin W]

you can have a child theme of any theme (if it has been written to the wordpress standards).

Child Themes

[Robin W]

but many themes don’t need a child theme for bbpress, just depends on how they have been written.
