'forum-3' suggest you have installed it 3 times! Is that correct? Is that the page name you want to use?

Anyway - is this a permalink issue? Did something change with the site permalinks? Can you try the following to start with:

  1. Go to the WordPress Admin > Settings > Permalinks
  2. Make sure they are set as needed and Update even if not changed
  3. Open the forum admin Page and Permalink admin panel
  4. At the top dropdown select the WordPress page they wish to use for the forum display
  5. Regardless of whether anything changed, click the Update button at the bottom of the form
  6. After updating click the ‘Update Forum permalink’ button in the middle of the form
  7. That should do it. If it does NOT resolve it then either (a) another plugin is messing with the rules or (b) they are running a WP cache plugin which will not work with the forum. The forum page MUST be excluded from cache plugins as it is dynamic

Did you change your WordPress theme half way through? It;s hard to tell for sure but I rather suspect the one you are suing is not calling the wp_head() function...

Yes the wp-head() might be being called although I coudn't find it in the theme code.

That leaves the WP page template being used. I notice on the integration panel that no template was shown. If you look at the source code being generated there is no html after the page title and before the comment form. So that whole section of WP theme page code is missing and it is this part of the page where the forum is displayed. So next thing is to hook the page up to a WP page template.

What is the 'Page Builder' stuff all about...?

I just assumed it pulled the forum through a shortcode or similar.
Pagebuilder is just a part of the theme i got.

Doesnt explain why it went bananas tho

gives default template in page template under.
Reset the permalinks as well to see if that was it but page id seems to be right, page template is there and this is the page that had the forum running before.
