    Thanks, Robin.

    Nope, it’s not a plugin problem. But I found the solution in another thread, and might as well pass it along here. This issue seems to come up for a lot of people, and it is v. perplexing.

    The problem was a “permissions” issue. Somehow, I don’t know how, in my admin WP user account, my bbPress “role” was reset to “participant,” the default bbPress level for all new WP users. This may have happened because I deleted and reinstalled bbPress. Dunno, but participants do not see the forum links in the dashboard.

    Fortunately, a stupid-but-effective solution: Create a new WP user, set as “admin.” Then set the bbPress role to “Keymaster.” As soon as I did that, the forum links in the dashboard reappeared.
