So, I updated my Wordpress theme today. Things were going great until I popped over to my forum, and poof, it has no content.  I originally had 2 boards, the main one was/is located at https://dawtopia.com/forum/, the second is located at https://dawtopia.com/markz-guitar.   The 2nd board, markz-guitar is fine.  I checked the tools for my main board, which was called forum, and i noticed an error, so i clicked fix error I believe. 

Thats when I noticed that another board was created, with a url the same as my main forum (board), but it has a new name (Dawtopia forum) and a slug that says "community" instead of forum.  The new board added now has the board id 0 and is located at page 925.  The orginal board is also located at 925, but has board ID 3 now.  The markz-guitar board is at ID 2.   When I check the sitemap, all the urls for the forums I created under the original board are listed in the Dawtopia Forum (the newly created board), and not in the orignal board.  I'm trying not to confuse everyone here.  

How can I get my forum back.  If you look at my site, across the menu bar, you will see forum, that is the one with the problem.  If you look across the menu and go to extras, at the bottom of the flyout, you will see markz guitar forum, which is fully intact.  I'm attaching the pictures of my boards for reference.  It's like my original forum never existed!

Help!

another item, actually the menu is missing from the markz-guitar board, which I'm guessing is because the main board is gone.  Correct me if I'm wrong for that assumption

Hi Chris, I just wanted to let you know that all of my forums and the main category are still present under the Dawtopia Board, which is listed in Board ID 0. I'm not sure how it happened, but I'm glad they are still there in the dashboard. However, I noticed that the forum is not appearing on my page and the slug has changed to "community" instead of "forum" as it was originally set. I'm not sure if deleting Board ID 3 would solve the problem. I would appreciate it if you could provide some assistance. Thank you.
