wordpress v 3.8 , bbPress v 2.5.5

I have created my Forum page and it was working correctly at first but now when I go to the main page I get a text version of the top level groups. http://biz139.inmotionhosting.com/~fantas55/forums/

I know the forums are actually there and working because I can still get to a forum post and use the breadcrumbs to get back to all the other levels of the forum, just not the top one.

Also is that Admin Notice going to go away, or is that related to this issue?

I just noticed that the permalink is …/forums/forum/… is that normal?

See if this stops your theme from nuking the forum list. Make a copy of your themes full width template eg. page.php file and rename it to bbPress.php then all your bbPress pages will use this template.

Yes, the ‘forums’ part is the ‘forum root’ prefix you have set in the settings

Then the ‘forum’ is the prefix before a single forum name.
