In general, what would cause a contribution verification page to lose the current theme styling? This is the page that appears after our initial membership contribution page when the user presses Submit after selecting PayPal or Pay by Check. The verification page has completely lost the header, footer, everything related to the current wordpress theme. The page still functions, but looks really strange compared to the first page.

Edit: In fact the confirm.tpl template based page is being rendered without head or body tags, it's just an html fragment. This is obviously why there is no theme on the page. As a test I switched to another theme and the page renders correctly -- so it has something to do with the theme.

I was able to get some generous support from the theme vendor. **So far there is no fix for this.** Confirm.tpl doesn't load the page header, and the vendor needs to know where this usually occurs. Quote:
