So, it looks like EventEspresso is the conflict. I disabled EventEspresso 4 and I can see all the bbPress links.
Any definitive fix to this? Would really like to get this working.
So I create a new user, give them admin and keymaster roles and login as them. I now see Forums on the left nav. When I click the Forums link I get the message “Cheatin’ uh?”.
I browse back to the dashboard, and now the Forums link is no longer there!
Frustrating…
Same thing happening to me. Running WordPress 3.9. I activated bbPress – first time i got a weird access denied error, so I removed and reinstalled. Now when I activate, i get nothing, no welcome page, nothing on the left menu. I do get a widget on the dashboard telling me I have no forums…
Any more thoughts on this?
