Hi, my forum is now displaying everything in a single column rather than multiple columns as before, and has lost separation lines/boxes etc

I’ve tried changing WP theme from atahualpa to one of the standard default WP themes like twenty thirteen but this didn’t have any effect.

I’ve tried disabling all other plugins, but this didn’t have any effect. I’m not using any cache plugin.

What could be causing this?

The forum is here: http://www.hicklingbroad.co.uk/forums/

all the data behind the forum is fine, but just wont display correctly. I’m running SP 5.3.4 with WP 3.7

Any ideas?

Basically it has become disconnected from the Simple:Press theme.

The reason may well depend on what version you have upgraded from. But – to get you back up working – go to the forum admin > Options > Global options and turn off the two options to combine the CSS and JS over on the right hand side.

thanks very much, all seems fixed now. Do I just leave those two options off now?

the use of the combined css cache can speed your site up…  but it appears that your host is not allowing php parsing of css files (probably a mime extension issue)…  so it will work fine as is…  or you could try the css only theme and turn them back on and see if that worked… but the css only theme doesnt have multiple color overlays…
