    Meanwhile, however, can I list only one forum at a time?

    see earlier answer – ‘[bbp-single-forum id=123]‘

    at the end the pages that appear after the user clicks a top menu called “Chevrolet.”

    see earlier answer – ‘Then create a wordpress page called say GM, and put the shortcode’

    you can put as much text on that page before the shortcode as you like

    “See other forums,”

    just use a hyperlink to a page with the shortcode [bbp-forum-index]

    did you submit some content?

    was this in the backend (dashboard) or front end

    Try

    Forum/Topic headings

    #bbpress-forums ul.forum-titles
     
     {
    font-size:  16px;
     }

    Topic/reply text

    #bbpress-forums .bbp-topic-content p, 
    #bbpress-forums .bbp-reply-content p
     
     {
    font-size:  16px;
     }

    yes

    https://pixlr.com/

    and choose the express web app

    This will do pretty much all the editing you’ll need to crop and adjust your photos

    And how do I remove Topic:

    I’ve not tested but believe this will do it

    function my_generate_titles( $new_title ){
            // reset the format to title only
    	$new_title['format'] = '%s';
    	return $new_title;
    
    }
    add_filter( 'bbp_before_title_parse_args', 'my_generate_titles' );

    come back and let us know if it does or doesn’t

    And lastly, how can I add sub Forums.
    So the main Forum is Android, and when you click on Android, there are more forums like Apps, Games, Phones etc.

    see https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/separate-forums/

    you can just show the latest topics as a list by using

    http://www.mysite.com/topics

    say as a menu item or make this your home page.

    alternately you can post the latest xx topics using

    bbp additional shortcodes

    All membership plugins are individual, so cannot dierctly say what your does.

    Cancelling a membership plugin does not usually delete the user in the wordpress database, so their posts should remain with their name against them.

    If it does, then I’m not sure what will be displayed.

    Manually deleting a user you get asked whether you wish to delete the posts or assign then to another user

    no problem

    set up your ‘cars’ as categories
    Dashboard>forums>new forum. Call it say GM then on the right hand side you’ll see ‘Type’ change this to category

    Save this and exit.

    The in

    Dashboard>forums>all forums you have your forum list. For the GM forum, hover over the ‘edit’ option, and at the bottom of the screen you’ll see something like

    http://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/post.php/post=123&action= edit
    

    Make a note that 123 equals the GM forum category – you’ll need this later.

    The create your sub forums as forums eg Buick, Cadillac, and on the right and side make these have a parent of GM

    Then create a wordpress page called say GM, and put the shortcode

    [bbp-single-forum id=123]

    where 123 was the post number of the category forum you noted above

    Then just add this page to your menu

    This seems to be a buddypress issue – presume you posted this on their support site also?

    unfortunately bbshowcase was for the standalone version 1 of bbpress and doesn’t work with the wordpress plugin version.

    As suggested, I copied all the template files inside bbPress plugin directory to my active theme

    Not sure where you got that from. Only if you want to alter templates do you need to copy templates to a bbpress directory, and then only those you wish to change.

    Also, how do I remove Topic: and Forum: slug at the title of the page?

    Can you specify exactly what you want to remove – a screenshot would be good

    It could be a theme or plugin issue

    Plugins

    Deactivate all but bbpress and see if this fixes. if it does, re-enable one at a time to see which is causing the error.

    Themes

    If plugins don’t pinpoint the problem, as a test switch to a default theme such as twentytwelve, and see if this fixes.

    sorry wp4.0 changed the way default permalinks worked, and this has broken bbpress child forums, which is I suspect your problem.

    There is a trac ticket for this with WordPress.

    The interim fix is to go to pretty permalinks (which you say you don’t want to) or only have forums at the top level. In theory this will be fixed in 4.0.1 whenever that comes out.

    if only twenty, then

    Find out the new users id – dashboard>users>all users and get user on screen. Then hover over edit, and the user id will be displayed in the url at the bottom of the page

    then

    dashboard>topics>all topics and edit each topic in turn. You will see author id on the right hand side. Amend to the new user id and update.
