    I just installed bbPress 2.5.12 on WordPress 4.7.2. I created a test forum with one topic. I haven’t changed any of the default settings. When I load the forum page, I get this:

    Forums
    by (Edit)
    Search for: Home › Forums Forum Topics Posts Freshness Cardstock 1 1 1 hour, 55 minutes ago Cheryl

    It looks just like a bunch of text with no formatting. Here’s the link: http://livelovecards.com/forums/

    I haven’t tried disabling plugins because I have a lot of them and my site is subscription, so I don’t want to disrupt service. I’m hoping this is an obvious problem to someone out there.

    Thanks so much for your help!

    I suspect it is a theme issue, it seems to be rendering as a paragraph.

    what method in item 3 below are you using

    I was using method 1 with postname. My forum root is called “forums” in settings. When that didn’t work, I tried #2 by putting a shortcode in. Still didn’t work.

    I noticed last night that the individual forums show fine when I go directly to them:
    http://livelovecards.com/forums/forum/cardstock/
    It’s not pretty, but at least it’s formatting.

    So I guess it’s just the list of forums that isn’t showing correctly. Is there something different about this page?

    Thanks for your help, Robin. I appreciate it more than you know. 🙂

    no problem

    that does make me more suspicious that it is a theme issue.

    just as a test can you try switching to say twenty sixteen and see if that fixes

    by the way you can style forums using my style pack plugin, which will make them much more pretty

    Thank you for that style-pack – it looks great. I used the test drive plugin to test twentysixteen, and yes, the main forum page works. So, now that I know it’s a theme problem, where would I start on figuring out the exact issue? Just some high level directional advice would be very much appreciated. Thank you again, Robin. 🙂

    ok, you are using the foodie theme which is based on genesis, so suspect that you need

    bbPress Genesis Extend
