Thank you, Robkk!
post test:
I looked at:
I tried to write an explanation of what I did, but flood detection seems to be deleting my posts.
Edit:
I tried to use:
If you do not permit anonymous posting, then your users will need to register with your site. It is up to you to decide which method is preferable.
Automatic registration is easier and it does allow people to quickly sign up, but by the same token gives you less control over who is contributing to your forums, and can lead to spam postings.
Manual signup involves you in more administration, but does give you complete control over who has write access.
Neither is better overall, but one will be better for you !
To allow automatic registration, go to Dashboard > Settings > General settings and under membership, tick “anyone can register”. Then in Dashboard > settings > forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.
To set manual registration, go to Dashboard > Settings > General settings and under membership, and ensure “anyone can register” is not ticked. Then in Dashboard>settings>forums tick the auto role, and ensure this is only at participant level.
In both cases, you will then need a screen for users to register – we’ll come back to where to put this screen later, but for the moment go into dashboard>pages>add new page and create a page. You can call this page anything you like but “register” or “registration” would be logical when users view or access its URL.
If you are doing automatic registration, then put whatever preamble you’d like (“to register for our forums” etc.) , and then add the following shortcode [bbp-register]. Save the page.
and I can register new users by the page at:

but I don’t know how to fix the widget. Maybe the URL of the registration page can be used as the URI.
please include your WordPress version, bbPress version, and a link to your site.
Wordpress 4.2.2
bbPress 2.5.8
