Thank you nicodemus,
We just checked and found this is not wpForo problem. Your current active theme or some plugin has hardcoded http protocol for loading jQuery libs. This is incorrect logic. First they should use built-in WprdPress jQuery libs, second they should not hard-code source URL protocols. They are being generated only when you change to SSL. And these errors affects all JS functions of wpForo. The Add Topic button is JS button, and it can't work until you don't fix these errors:

Please fix these errors if you want to have wpForo worked. wpForo doesn't have any issue itself.

That helped Thanks a lot ! I left them a message and fixed the calls myself.

Then it is suprising that in usual http mode this error does not happen.

Found out it is the plugin mingle that is causing the problem because there is a call for the google ajax api in some php page hardcoded in http and when the site is in SSL mode it affects the wpForo.

Thank for looking into it ! I will let them know.

Thanks !!!

As far as I see this errors related to some datepicker plugin or to the theme, you should deactivate all one by one and find the causer.

Sorry we cannot do that since your debug mode includes the mysql username and password in plain text which would be a security issue.

Thank you for letting us know, it seems the wpdb object is also attached to wpForo object. We'll remove this in Beta-6. Ok, then the only way we could debug your issue to have a dashboard admin access. Please send it to supportgvectors.com

Hi nicodemus,

Please navigate to Forums > Settings > Features and enable Debug Mode. And leave some URL to allow us test it.

As I told you earlier in WP.org forum, there is an issue while running wpForo in WP when the whole site is in forced SSL mode.

Seriously, did you try to let it run in SSL mode and tried to add a topic for example ?

It seems that the buttons that do have scripted function e.g. ADD TOPIC do not work, just like the function isn't even loaded into the system. In what file do you have the function for links like ADD TOPIC or RECENT TOPICS stored ? My first guess would be, it is not loaded correctly while running in SSL mode.
