 * WP 4.9.4
    bbPress 2.5.14-6684 Suffusion 4.4.9 Child Theme
 * Alluvasudden outta nowhere last week, my forums site was “protected” by https.
   This change broke the header image (now substituted by all-caps text reading “
   Research and Revival of Pre-Digital Typefaces.”
 * Furthermore, it zapped the sidebar and “uglied up” the top navigation links with
   an unintended tab effect.
 * Until now, I have managed to fix this mess multiple times by adjusting theme 
   settings. Today, it happened again—and I’m out of ideas!
 * A tech rep for my host (bluehost.com) says that they are forbidden to do such
   a thing without instruction from me. So I’m wondering whether there is an explanation
   involving WordPress itself—or possibly bbPress?
 * BlueHost suggests copying all activity of the past few days, restoring a recent
   backup and then updating recent posts, image uploads, etc. with the copies.
 * The downside is that the same scenario may recur indefinitely… Is there something
   I can do to STOP it once and for all?
 * With profound gratitude for your help, Anna

 * No such luck… The bbPress “confidential” option is NOT the answer!
 * Viewing a comment posted by a new subscriber caused the same broken display as
   first reported. Then after browsing the site, it “fixed itself.”
