My site is http://www.wegmanlevin.com
If you hover over the menu selections at the top of the page on, say, the home page, you'll see dropdown menus under most of the entries. If you click on the Forums button, such that the SimplePress forum is on the page, when you move the cursor over the menu buttons nothing happens-- no drop down. Is this a SimplePress issue, or due to something in wordpress?

for starters, you have a very poor wp theme that is violating the wp standards... its loading its own version of jquery rather than using the version that comes with wp
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.wegmanlevin.com/wp-content/themes/Attorneys/js/jquery-1.3.2.min.js"></script>
and that version is very ancient to boot... many years out of date...
see: http://codex.simple-press.com/.....-conflict/
for more info... if you can find where in the wp theme its loading the ancient jquery, we can help you correct the theme and get things working...
if you wanted to verify its the theme, try a quick switch to the default wp theme and see if things work better...

I contacted the theme designer about this. He did something to my site which fixed a different theme issue, but not this one. He sent me the following response which he suggested I pass on:
I've replaced the old jQuery version(I had your wordpress login details from last time), 1.3.2 with 1.8.3, the same version that Simple:Press uses(I've even tested it with 2.0.0 and works fine):
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.8.3/jquery.min.js"></script>
However, it doesn't seems to work when I try to load jquery the way they suggested(and the way the plugin loads it as far as I see):
<script type='text/javascript' src='http://www.wegmanlevin.com/wp-.....?ver=1.8.3'></script>
I'm not familiar with Simple:Press plugin and can't really offer support for conflicts that may appear when using it. Please reply to them telling them the theme was updated and is now using jQuery 1.8.3.
There were several theme related conflicts with my site. One was that I couldn't get my admin postbag tools to function for moderating. When the theme designer implemented the fix he is referring to above, that problem resolved (which wasn't even a problem I told him about) but it did nothing for the drop-down menus. In addition, and probably related, if you click on the "profile" button, things appear to function, but if you then click on any one of the actual functions (user groups, options, permissions, etc.) the result is the screen displays like there's no theme at all. Hard to describe, so here's a partial screen shot from the 'Options' button:

Yes, jquery is now being properly enqueued (I hope) and loaded from wp... but jquery ui is not... and just to clear based on your theme author's comments, its not SP that uses 1.8.3 (now 1.9 in wp 3.6), but WP - we just tag along for the ride...
<script src="//ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.0.0/jquery.min.js">
not sure what the 2.0.0 in there means, the latest jquery is 1.10...
I cannot tell if its the wp theme loading that or if a plugin, but I would guess its the theme since other stuff is loaded before and after...
just like with jquery, the wp version of jquery ui should be used...
