form plugins not working in custom themes

    First of all, I am not a WordPress guy. I’m working on a site for my daughter’s school that is using WordPress on the back end to make the updating easier for the staff. I laid out the design in html and created a custom theme for WP, and we are trying to get cforms to work but the forms are not appearing in the design. When I switch themes, the form appears, so I figure I somehow have left out something crucial in the template, although I haven’t found a clue in these forums, the FAQ or over in the cform forums. The same is true for Custom Contact Forms.

    Looking at the php, it seems that the plugins are pulling the entire page content in the_content variable, and it doesn’t seem to be looking for ID’s or classes, so I’m not sure what’s going on. The page in question is here: http://new.friends-school.info…..ontact-us/

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Ensure that your header.php contains <?php wp_head(); ?> immediately before </head> and that footer.php contains <?php wp_footer(); ?> immediately before </body>.

    Thanks for the response Esmi. I checked my templates, and they are already in there. Interestingly, I have the Events Calendar plugin installed, and it works fine. the difference is that the calendar is invoked in the PHP code, while the forms are in the content and are parsed by the PHP.
