I'm having a very similar problem.
I'm using Community Builder 1.9, in Joomla 2.8, and UddeIM 2.8 stable, Kunena 1.7.2 all the latest I believe, within a Siteground template, j16-11.
Both Community Builder and UddeIM break out of the template completely, creating a mostly white page with zero navigation.
itemid in UddeIM is set to 0. I've tried overwrite itemid with both yes and no, with no apparent difference.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
