Deactivating and activating these plugins definitely causes issues, such as stripping all the capabilities from all the role types. Crap.

Skimming through the internet reveals people with similar problems, but no clear resolution that I can follow. It seems like these role plugins can write into the database and mess with bbPress settings (at least from my understanding of it).

I need a way of reversing the damage this has done, but without losing my forums if possible. Fortunately, the site is new so the forum is not active, but I would rather not have to build up the structure from scratch.
