Plugins not working on custom theme

  • i have developed a custom theme and tried using some plugins on it but the plugins always seem to be in broken layout and many components do not load on the screen (eg. labels and text areas of a form). Even the default comment section of wordpress loads without label names. I have included the wp_head() and wp_footer in the header and footer files respectively. But it still doesn’t work.

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • So if you switch to a theme you didn’t write, do the plugins work? If they do, the fault lies within your theme. You will need to determine if the HTML is output at all (and valid) or if it is hidden with CSS.
    You can use the browser View Source function to see the HTML of the page.
    You can copy the source (or if it’s on the internet, use the URL) into a HTML validator, which can point out any markup problems.
    You can use the browser Developer Tools to examine the CSS for the problem spots.

    I guess the issue lies with the theme as plugins do work on other themes. After using the html validator i came across some errors and warnings and rectified them but still the problem persists. i think it has to do something with the css.
    Thanks for the reply.
