wpForo has a new version release.

This would be fixed in the new Version of the Plugin.

Thanks

If you have 2 Forum pages and one Board, you need to make sure that the Forum Page Slug and ID is the same as the Board's Slug and ID. Doing that connects the Forum page and the Board to each other. 

Then you can remove the second Forum page which is not used.

In wpForo > Overview, you can see several Buttons, as Delete All Caches, Update User Statistics... You can also use those options after finishing with the Forum Pages.

About the Uncaught Error, I have sent it to our Devs, I will update here after their response.

Could really use some help with this. Does anyone see a problem with the way things are set up? It *seems* to be working, but before I take this site live, I want to make sure I remove any potential for obvious failures that will ruin user experience. Thanks!

This is logged in member view, not admin.

Does anyone know what this is? 

Also -- and this is weird, so bear with me -- I wonder if this could have anything to do with the fact that my WPForo page structure is super bizarro.

Here's what happened: 
I installed the plugin, built my whole forum, then accidentally deleted the forum page and was not able to restore it. I created a new forum page, found the board ID, and put it in with a shortcake, thinking that would solve the problem, but it didn't, or rather it it created a brand NEW forum page.

SO, now I have TWO.
One points to wpforo and is published
One points to wpforu shortcake with the board ID, and that one is a DRAFT

You would think the draft one has nothing to do with my success, but if I put it in the trash, the forum breaks. I don't appear to need to publish it for things to work, but this is very strange, and doesn't seem right.

I can't help but wonder if that issue above has something to do with my error. I have personally not seen this error come up in my testing, when using as admin or test user. 

Thoughts?
