After a journey of trial and error, I have narrowed down an issue I have with integrating a twentyseventeen child theme with buddypress profiles that render wpdataCHARTS.

Initially, I had a buddypress.php template in my child theme (twentyseventeenChild) but not in the parent. I have a wpdatachart which I render in child buddypress.php with echo do_shortcode[wpdatachart id=1]. When I navigate to MYDOMAIN.com/members/myname, no chart renders, but all my other customizations appear.

When I copy buddypress.php to the parent theme (twentyseventeen), the chart renders. Switching back to the Child theme, the chart does not render. buddypress.php is in both parent and child at this point. How come it is not working in the child theme? What is the fix?

Many many thanks in advance.
