I posted the text below a couple of days ago. Since then, I have tried a different theme, tried installing the bbPress 2010 theme and even a couple mods to the page.php file I read about. Nothing’s working. Would really appreciate any advice. Thanks.
“I downloaded and installed bbPress. Put together a forum with three topics, added it to an existing page on my WordPress driven site and all was great! Half a dozen people registered, a couple of discussions began…it worked great. Now, all of a sudden with no warning, the forum is gone. If you click the page to view it, you see the path for the forum at the top, but nothing else: no topics, no area to add a topic or comment, nada. I’ve tried everything I can think of short of deleting the forum and starting over from scratch. Any thoughts? P.S. I can still see the forum and all topics/posts from the dashboard. I’m using wordpress 3.5.1 and bbPress 2.3.2. My site is henderson.lpnc.org.
Thanks for any help or advice!”

What plugins are you running? Have you tried temporarily deactivating them all (except bbPress) and see if that fixes things? Sounds like a permission/capability issue, but I don’t know why that would trigger without cause.

Plugins I have installed are: Hello Dolly, bbPress, Simple Local Avatars, and Akismet. Now that you mention it, I installed Simple Local Avatars after the forum. I’ll try deactivating these and see what happens.

bbPress and Simple Local Avatars were the only ones activated, though, btw.

Yep, I deactivated Simple Local Avatars and the forum is viewable once again. Any suggestions on a different avatar plugin or upload method? Thanks so much for the help! I was out of ideas!
