I have problem with permalinks.

Where are two things Forums base and forum slug what is the difference between?

I want to make main forum link like: http://127.0.0.1/webpage/forum/
and inside links must be like http://127.0.0.1/webpage/forum/topic/the-topic-name

Why I cant do this ? :/

My configuration:
1. Forum base: Forum
2. Forum slug: Forum
3. Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended): checked

The links are like:

Go to forum “forum name” link: http://127.0.0.1/website/forum/forum/forum-category-name/forum-name
Go to topic of “forum name” link: http://127.0.0.1/website/forum/topic/topic-name-of-forum-name

Can I avoid double forum/forum ?

If I unchek “Prefix your forum area with the Forum Base slug (Recommended)” it shows links:

All the links are ok but except only topic links: http://127.0.0.1/website/topic/topic-name-of-forum-name

It shows without “forum”… maybe you have any solution? :/

Thank you!

Fundamentally you need to understand that the use of the prefix is designed to put a unique prefix in place when you’re on a forum index page vs when you are on a topic index page. As such, it is not possible with the default code to show “/forum/topic” if ou mean both are prefixes.

I suggest you use the plural term “forums” as your base, then “forum” and “topic” as your prefixes.
