JQuery dialog not displaying content on upgrade to Bootstrap 4

I am working on upgrading our website from Bootstrap 3 to Bootstrap 4. I have a JQuery dialog that no longer works when I change to Bootstrap 4- the content of the dialog is not displayed. The buttons in the JQuery dialog definition are, but nothing else. Any ideas are appreciated!

Bootstrap 3 dialog:

Bootstrap 4 dialog:

Bootstrap 4 Dialog

var themedialog = $("#theme-change-form").dialog({
  autoOpen: false,
  height: 'auto',
  width: 450,
  modal: true,
  buttons: {
    "Update Theme": updateTheme,
    Cancel: function() {
      themedialog.dialog("close");
    }
  },
  close: function() {
    $('.subtheme-button').removeClass('active');
    $('.subtheme-button.selected').addClass('active');
  }
});

//Open dialog when change logo link clicked
$('#change-theme').on("click", function() {
  themedialog.dialog('open');
});

function updateTheme() {
  console.log('theme udated');
}

  </div>
  <!--more buttons here in the same format as above-->
</div>

<button id="change-theme">Change Themes</button>

Thank you!

Remove the hidden attribute on the dialog element. Bootstrap has CSS that sets display: none on elements with that attribute, and it doesn't seem necessary anyway. Your browser's document inspector is a great tool for seeing things like that.

var themedialog = $("#theme-change-form").dialog({
  autoOpen: false,
  height: 'auto',
  width: 450,
  modal: true,
  buttons: {
    "Update Theme": updateTheme,
    Cancel: function() {
      themedialog.dialog("close");
    }
  },
  close: function() {
    $('.subtheme-button').removeClass('active');
    $('.subtheme-button.selected').addClass('active');
  }
});

//Open dialog when change logo link clicked
$('#change-theme').on("click", function() {
  themedialog.dialog('open');
});

function updateTheme() {
  console.log('theme udated');
}
body {
  padding: 30px;
}
