WPForo displays properly on the /community page, but when I add [wpforo] to any page, the result looks bizarre. For example, see https://egyptianwisdomcenter.org/forum-widget-page/
I've tried other standard themes, but I get the same result.
I'm using the extended layout, but other layouts also suffer.
I've attached a screenshot of the beginning of the content area of a page with [wpforo] in it.
Any advice?
Hi @jpschwartz,
Please navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > Features admin page, make sure the "Output Buffer" is enabled.
More info here: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/wpforo-settings/features/#output-buffer
Don't forget to delete all caches before checking.
And please make sure you're using the latest wpForo version (v. 1.6.5).
What "widget" page has to do with wpForo shortcode? You have mixed something.
While your forum works all right.

You're right, I improperly named the page. There's no widget on the page, only the shortcode [wpforo].

So everything works right or not ?
No, when I place [wpforo] on any page on this website, I get the munged display. I've tried using other themes, deactivating all plugins except wpforo, and experimenting with various versions of PHP 7. No joy. I tried putting [wpforo] on a completely different website page, and it works fine. I'm baffled.
I've also tried turning on debug mode and refreshing the affected page, but the debug.log file doesn't even appear.
/community works fine. The problem appears on any page that includes the shortcode [wpforo].
To avoid any confusion about the naming of the test page, please browse to https://egyptianwisdomcenter.org/forum-test-page/

I don't understand, sorry.
There is ONE base page for wpForo with the shortcode and that is your Forum page.
If you try to do something else, you do not clearly explain.
Please edit the "forum test page" page and make sure the sort code is not enclosed in addition tags. Currently, I see that the wpForo main tag <div id="wpforo-wrap"> is located into the <pre> tags.
That solved it! It's uncanny how often the solution is something very simple.
Big thanks! WPForo rocks!
Jim
