Hi, this is my first post here.
I've recently installed wpForo and everything seemed to be working well, but I have just discovered that the forum doesn't appear when I log in as a member? (It does appear when logged in as "admin" and to guests who are not logged in.) I searched google but couldn't find this particular issue or a fix. Have attached a screenshot of how the forum appears to guests. ( The "Recent Forum Posts" side-menu also shows "no posts found".)

Thanks for any help,

Managed to fix this myself.
In Usergroups the Usergroup "Customer" and "Registered" were both set to User Role "Subsriber" so changed Customer (I don't use this) to "Contributer". Then press Synchronize. Then I ran all the maitenance tasks on the Overview page, purged all caches and Forum now appears for members.
Btw great plugin, I have enjoyed using it so far. 😀
There was an error message in the User Roles table which said something like "you can't have the same User Role for 2 Usergroups" and Subscriber was populated with 0 Members and 0 Users.
Don't know where wpForo got these settings (ie Customer as Subsciber), thought it might have been Ultimate Member but couldn't find it there or elsewhere?
WordPress User Role - wpForo Usergroups synchronization by default.
Administrator - Admin
Editor - Moderator
Author - --
Contributor - Customer
Subscriber - Registered
If you want to set new registered users as Subscriber/Registered, navigate to:
Dashboard > Settings > General: New User Default Role - Subscriber
Dashboard > wpForo > Usergroups: Set as Default button.
@chris The settings are fine as they are now. I just don't know why it began with Customer set to Subscriber rather than Contributor?
@chris Thanks.
I might have changed the setting in a plugin I've deleted, whilst trying out different plugins after first installing Wordpress a few months ago.
