wpForo doesn't have own email functions, it just uses WordPress wp_mail() function.

On the site I have wpForo installed, WP Mail isn't working, it generates the following message:-

Could not initiate mail function

Any ideas why??

Philip where exactly do you see that error ? Did you try Postman ? If yes, the TEST email works ? If you didn't  install Postman, why don't you try ?

And let us know.

Also enabling DEBUG.LOG of WP could give you a hint of what is wrong.

Could the error be "Could not instantiate mail function" and NOT what you posted ?

Do you have any other mail related plugin, like for example a mailing list or newsletter plugin?

Is that a local server or an online Wordpress site ?

Probably your host may have disabled the mail() function, yo should ask them enable it. More info:
