 * Hello.
 * This is a new installation. I see an empty bar that should not be empty. In my
   local test pc it shows options (members, my profile etc etc).
 * Any ideas ?
 * Thanks

 * Found the cause.
 * Shield plugin with enabled:
 * “Block PHP Code Includes
 * This will block any data that appears to try and include PHP files.
    Will probably
   block saving within the Plugin/Theme file editors.”
 * did that. Disabling that option and removing and reinstalling your plugin worked
   great.
 * Sorry for the trouble, i couldn’t imagine that.

 * Did more test on this and it seems that The Shield is not the problem. I re-enabled
   those options, removed the forum plugin and re-installed it.
 * This time all is well. Strange.
 * I dunno what happened in my first attempt, just wanted not to blaim The Shield
   plugin that has server me well.

 * Hi MassimoD,
    it seems wpForo Navigation menu is not attached to wpForo Menu 
   location in Dashboard > Appearance > Menus admin page. Just select “wpForo Navigation”
   and check the wpForo menu location:
 * Also make sure the menu bar is enabled in Dashboard > Forums > Settings > features
   admin page.

 * Thanks for the reply.
 * I have not touched those, ever. Neither in my 1st failed one, nor the second 
   that works.
 * Nice to know where to search.
 * Many thanks
