    This is a common issue. Your theme is just rendering bbPress as a blog post

    You need to create a bbpress.php for your site to fix this.

    Thank you for your help. But I dont know how to do it since I dont have technical knowledge. Kindly suggest some other way which doesnt require technical knowledge.

    Well there might be other ways , but it would be more complicated.

    The guide just says

    Find the file bbPress is using (use What the File)
    Copy and rename the file to bbpress.php (use FTP)
    Edit the file to your liking. (use a code editor like notepad++)

    The edit the file part may seem complicated but it is really quite easy , and I would help you out on this part.

    If you want find the file bbPress is using and copy the content in the file to a gist.

    After that I will post a link to a gist to help you out.

    Hi,

    I am still not able to understand it. First I dont know how to create a child theme and second I dont know how to do what you are suggesting. I am also facing some issues with buddy press. The buttons are not displaying properly.
    Can you suggest any other good community plugin?

    There is no plugin to just fix it. bbPress is inheriting a template from your theme that is causing this issue. Since all themes are different creating a plugin to fix them all would be really difficult.

    To create a child theme you can read this: https://codex.wordpress.org/Child_Themes

    If you need help with anything , please tell me exactly what you need help with or at least tell me what you understand.

    And what buttons are not displaying properly?? This is probably CSS so I could do this for you easily.

    Also since you are using a paid theme (Canvas) , you might want to consider contacting your theme author for help.

    I cant just do it for you for free, you can contact me through email if you want me to do it for you.

    Contact
