The policy doc plugin creates links at the bottom for Simple Press for Usage and Privacy policies, but text entered into the respective text boxes for the Components for these items do display. Also, when those links are clicked, numerous cancel "X" buttons appear on the top of the page, making the boxes very visually unappealing.

So - not showing up like ours are I assume, Do you have the same 'popup' display issue in other areas? Like the 'About' (from the 'i' icon beside the copyright link at the bottom). If so then it is probably a matter of aggressive styling by your WordPress theme which needs to be countered.

Are you able to give me a link to your forum page so I can take look at this for you?

Your problem is caused by this rule set in the 'main-global.css; file that I assume is a part of your WordPress theme:

.btn,
button:not(#searchsubmit):not(.update-cover-photo),
input[type="submit"],
input[type="button"]:not(.button-small),
input[type="reset"],
article.post-password-required input[type=submit],
li.bypostauthor cite span,
a.button,
#create-group-form .remove,
#buddypress ul.button-nav li a,
#buddypress div.generic-button a,
#buddypress .comment-reply-link,
.entry-title a.button,
span.create-a-group > a,
#buddypress div.activity-comments form input[disabled],
.woocommerce #respond input#submit.alt,
.woocommerce a.button.alt,
.woocommerce button.button.alt,
.woocommerce input.button.alt,
.woocommerce #respond input#submit.alt:hover,
.woocommerce a.button.alt:hover,
.woocommerce button.button.alt:hover,
.woocommerce input.button.alt:hover {
    color: #fff;
    font-size: 14px;
    font-family: inherit;
    letter-spacing: 1.2px;
    padding: 12px 4px 11px;
    background-color: #4dcadd;
    border-radius: 4px;
    display: inline-block;
    width: 200px;
    text-align: center;
    -webkit-transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
    transition: all .2s ease-in-out;
    box-sizing: border-box;
    border: none;
    line-height: 17px;
    cursor: pointer;
    text-shadow: none;
}

The main problem in there is the width statement that is set to 200px. As I have no idea what this CSS styling is set up to serve then I really can't give you a definitive answer on what it is doing. You may want to ask that question of the theme authors...

Thank you for your quick and thorough response. I'll see what I can do to get this rectified.

I should have mentioned that that particular CSS file has a complete set of extensive rules for BuddyPress, bbPress and WooCommerce. Which makes the file very very big. If there is a way of turning off any components you are not using then it would be worthwhile and would help the overall loading times.
