I've just "plugged-in" wpforo to the ashfordfolk.org website and thought everything was hunk-dory until started complaining they can't access the forums.
I think it's because the links to the forum pages are http:// not https:// and I see after googling that the problem is said to be awaiting resolution by a pending update.
Has it been issued? What can I do to continue (start!) using wpforo?

wpForo has no issues with https. It is your site.
I see that i can access it with http AND https. You must fix this withing your .htaccess, so everything is redirected to https.
See if this in your .htaccess fixes thing (because there are several web servers and several ways to do it) and put it before the Wordpress permalinks code:
#SSL START
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{SERVER_PORT} 80
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.yourwebsitehere.com/$1 [R=301,L]
#SSL END
Thank you for your speedy response which has worked perfectly for me - I'll let you know in the unlikely event that other subscribers to the forum have problems
Also please follow to these steps:
1. Make sure your WordPress URLs are set with https protocol in Dashboard > Settings > General Tab.
2. Then navigate to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > General Tab and click on [Delete all caches] button.
3. And delete all caches using according button in Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page.
Thank you so much for your continuing support - absolutely brilliant!
I've reset the wp URLs in Dashboard > Settings > General Tab but when I navigated to Dashboard > Forums > Settings > General Tab there was no [Delete all caches] button. I found it on the Dashboard > Forums > Dashboard admin page and clicked it.
Thanks again for your advice.
