Ok. Tried something else. I activated the bbpress plugin on a new site that is hosted on a remote server and there is now a Forums option on the Menu Appearance page. It’s either this or a registration issue.

They show as ‘Forum’ which is why I was expecting something to be on the left that I could choose them from.

Would it be something to do with the page called Forums? I made a new page and called it Test Forum and added it to the menu bar. I then moved a couple of the demo forums to below it. Saved and refreshed. The moved forums show below the new menu item ‘Test Forums’, but unlike the original ‘Forums’ link, if you click on it you don’t get a landing page. I’ve had a look at the Forums page and can’t see anything different there compared to any other page.

Sorry I don’t have a link as I’m working on it locally. I have done some screen shots but have no where to post them at the moment. Will try and describe it better.

So if you load up the site you would see the following menu items along the top:

Home | Manuals | Blog | Forums | Contact Us | Log In | List Your Password | Join Us

If you put your mouse over the Forums link you would see:

Home | Manuals | Blog | Forums | Contact Us | Log In | List Your Password | Join Us
Apple
Android
Microsoft
Apps & Software
Gadgets & Stuff

These are the forums that were there when I activated the bbpress plugin and are part of the Avada demo site. The ones that I have created aren’t listed.

If I click Forums and go to the Forums landing page I see the forums I created and the demo ones.

So if I then go into the Menu appearance page I can see the demo forums listed under the Menu Structure section. I can’t see how they were added. There is nothing under Pages, Posts, Custom Links or Categories, which means I can’t even back track to see how it was done. As I mentioned before, even if I remove a forum entry from under Menu Structure section nothing then appears on the left so I can re-add it.

Does that make more sense?

Sorry, forget to mention something else.

If I simply click on the Forum link in the menu bar it takes me to a landing page and all the forums are listed there, even the ones I’ve created. It’s just the option to add my new Forums to the dropdown list which is the problem.
