Possible conflict with Blocksy theme

Resolved AWOL

I installed the plugin today on a test bed site which has a lot of other plugins, one of which is another listing plugin, Classified Listings. As the title says the site is using the Blocksy theme (or rather a child theme of it). Everything is fine so far, except two issues that I have not yet been able to resolve. The first is that the single category and search pages do not conform to all other pages on the site (including other pages in this plugin, They extend to the full width of the browser rather than remaining within the confines that the other pages do, which obviously looks wrong. They also will not show my sidebar whatever I do. Blocksy has the facility within the Customiser to adjust individual plugin pages and posts, but while that facility is present for this plugin, only a couple of the settings seem to have any effect. I have tried some CSS customisations, but again, so far, no luck (including a suggestion made by the plugin author on another support thread).
The second issue is that when I submitted a listing, there was no confirmation message, just a blank page with the website header and the submit listing page title (I took out the plugins nav bar with CSS). I have not investigated this at all yet though.

Any assistance that anyone may have would be most appreciated. I have tried changing the relevant settings of the plugin, and also settings of other plugins, but again, no effect. I am prepared to create pages to take the place of these two, which in the case of the categories I could do I think but would be a tedious task, but the search page I haven’t a clue. I’m hoping though that this is either a template or CSS issue and I just haven’t found where the issue is.

An update on further discoveries; this issue also effects the tag page. I have compared the templates in the plugin that are and are not affected, and it seems that the ones that are not affected all have something at the start of the file, but not the same thing on each. The three affected templates (category.php, search.php and tag.php) all have the same code in the first few lines of the file, as follows:
```
<?php 
/*
* File version: 2
*/
get_header(); ?>
<div class=" bootstrap-wrapper">
    <?php
        /**
         * ldd_before_main_content hook.
         *
         * @hooked ldd_output_content_wrapper - 10 (outputs opening divs for the content)
         */
        do_action( 'ldd_before_main_content' );
        $version = 2;
    ?>

        <?php echo ldl_get_header(); 
```
The only difference is that the category file has “ac” following the “bootstrap-wrapper” class name (and the odd extra blank space or line). Whether this is relevant I don’t know. The unaffected files have various other code at the beginning, which I thought might be the cause, so I tried adding some of that to the affected files but it made no difference. The other consistent difference was that none of the unaffected templates had the “echo” shown in the final line in the code above. Again, I tried removing this in the affected files, but again there was no difference.

It seems to me that the affected templates are not ‘reading’ the style set by the theme like the other templates seem to, but I am now stumped as to how to fix this. As I have made a lot of css edits to get other plugins to display as I want, I can’t ditch Blocksy, so unless someone can offer me some suggestions it is looking like I will have to find another plugin to do what this one does, which is a real shame as it took me a while to find! Please help me someone!

OK, after several more hours I have given up, because I have now discovered that when a listing is submitted it automatically is allocated to the site admin, whereas I need a system where the listing is ‘owned’ by the person submitting it, and that doesn’t seem to be an option. Nice plugin but with the issues with templates and my theme, plus a few other styling issues, I now must uninstall and find an alternative.
