Robin – thank you for all your assistance two weeks ago. I finally was able to get the help from my web hosting company (Aabaco Small Business). They simply went into Settings – Permalinks and changed the Common Settings to “Plain”. That made an adjustment in the URL and now the page works. It seems like I tried just about every other setting – and even some of the permalink settings. But that did it – so maybe it will help someone else.
Thank you for your help Robin I have a call into them and they are researching the problem.
Still not working.
Before my first post I did try those two steps (I was paying attention and did read the “Before posting” post at the top of the page).
But I did try again. I deactivated all but bbpress. When I attempted to change the theme to twentyfifteen I discovered that I didn’t have the most up to date version of WordPress, so I updated it. I now have all but bbpress deactivated and the twentyfifteen theme installed, and still no luck with the forums.
I appreciate all your help. Any more ideas?
I had looked at several videos and none of them talked about step 3 and setting up a page. I have now done that and I can view the page (called: forums). And the test forum I set up has “forums” in the forum root slug heading. But I still get page not found. This is the address of the forum I have set up:

I’m now starting to wonder if the issue has to do with Aabaco. This is the company that recently took over the Yahoo web hosting. I followed the guide above step-by-step I’ve even tried deleting all of the created pages and forums I’ve set up, deleted bbpress from my plugins and then reinstalled it and tried again – I’ve actually done this several times. Do you think a call to Aabaco might solve the issue?
I submitted a new post because I finally deleted the WordPress and started over – but I’m still getting the same “page not found”
