wpForo 1.x.x [Closed] Trouble getting forum to show

I am pretty tech-challenged so please excuse my ignorance.  I am following the steps listed but can not get the forum to appear on its page.  Text appears but no forum.  (Well, the forum appears when I do a test.)

Does the wpForo menu need to be active?  Or can I just add the page to my secondary menu?

My site is http://www.busyboysbrigade.com  (I am looking to start a forum for homeschoolers).

Thanks for any help-and, again, sorry if this is basic or already been asked!

Hi mommy5boys,

make sure you have [wpforo-index] shortcode in forum page content, and the page URL is identical with wpForo Base URL (in wpForo Settings page).

Also please read this FAQ topic:

Hi, I went through the discussions about this issue in here and followed all instructions precisely and I still can't get it to work. Please advise, it's important we get it working.

Nevermind, I stopped the other plugins one by one and the forum showed up.

Hi TechInsiderRo,

could you please share the name of plugin which was causing this issue?
