The view user kept on showing the page in a weird format – not within the theme. But bbpress is the one that must be creating the ‘view user’ page – as when I deactivate it says:

I found a note in the bbp style pack that said that there was a problem with Divi child themes and I followed the instructions – which made it better but did not fix it completely
Now at least the top and bottom menu is showing. but still not within the theme and the footer menu is not complete and also says ‘designed by elegant themes… which should not show
