Thanks to Robin W – problem solved.
The trick is to go to Dashboard>settings>permalinks and click ‘save changes ‘– that resets the permalinks and the forums work as they should.
Would never have thought of that – thanks Robin!
No, and SiteGround checked their settings before putting me on to you.
TBH not convinced it’s a problem with BBPRess – they may have just wanted me off their back.
Too cynical?
Can I PM you a password so you can check it out?
Thanks
