I have had no issues on a site and then today when i went to the clients site i noticed that I was not able to log in through the front end of the forum i set up.

Also, even though I have it set up correctly to allow guests to see and go through the forums when i visit the site on another browser I see nothing and then when I click on sign in I get this " sign-in/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fvitalwords.org%2Fcommunity%2F"

it does not send me to a sign in page and the same goes for the sign-up link. The "Forums" tab on the menu only has the single promotion line i set up and nothing else. 

I updated everything. Have had people, and myself sign up and sign in through the Forum before. 

I can log in through the backend and I have no problems, everything is visible and looks normal. 

I have tried to create a new page to direct the sign-in to. I have tried doing a redirect back to the wpforo and to my new page. 

I have purged hosts, wp, wpforo and flushed permalinks Many, many times. 

boards slug looks fine. 

Tried repair functions as well as disabled all other plugins but wpforo. 

Used updraft to restore to a few days ago with nothing, so maybe it has been longer that I thought. 

I have not changed any settings before this event occured.

Hi,

Please check the "Custom Authorization URLs" option and make sure the fields are empty.

Please check the wpForo menus and make sure you’re using the correct menu shortcodes:

Also, please attach a screenshot of the “Custom Authorization URLs” option.

Make sure you don’t have any plugins enabled that could cause redirects.

Yes the Menu short codes are the same. Never changed them. 

Custom urls empty as shown. 

I have disabled all other plugins with just wpforo on and still no good.

There is a clip to the still current problem after I have messed with it some more. I figured after sending the images this morning it would be better to make a video. 

Also Everything looks fine from logging into the backend. Its just being able to get that login field to work.  THanks.

The issue is caused by the following CSS code:

body:not(.logged-in) .wpforo-content {
    display: none; 
}

Please find it and remove it.

Also, please watch the video attached below.
