Yikes! See previous post immediately above… when I finished with the above tests, I returned to the root forum display (public view) and the one forum I’d started setting up was gone, I assume as a byproduct of my 2 failed post attempts above. It was still present in the admin view of the forums, and editing/updating it (correcting some spelling in the headline and description) made it re-appear in the public view…
Gonna go try a couple of other forum plug-ins now, but wish I could use the one supported by WP creators… hopefully, we’ll get a solution soon and can come back to this plug-in…
Related prob: not only is the toolbar in the body edit are gone, but the body edit area is only about 5px high – you can drag it bigger, but it will not accept any text at all – if submitted empty, irt responds with ERROR: are you sure you wanted to do that? And of course, nothing is posted.
Turned off ALL other plug-ins as recommended above, and prob still occurs. I am using Athena theme and switching to Twenty-fifteen does indeed one to edit in the body box, but trying to save results in the same error msg.
