 * Installed the plugin, went to the link for messages and found that the shortcode
   doesn’t seem to work.

 * Please delete this page mudskippercafe.com/messages/ (/wp-admin/post.php?post
   =3273&action=edit). It is left there by WpChats earlier versions and it is conflicting
   with the messages slug, OR, go to bbP messages settings and update messages slug
   to something else other than `messages`.

 * Thank you so much for your speedy reply. And that did the trick. Everything is
