Hi,
I’m beginner in creating wordpress website. Is possible change type root forums page from post-type-archive to for example single-post or basic page? I have template where is archive divided to some parts and archive post with forum has very small width.
Thanks for all replies.

Hi,
I suppose you mean that you want to change the default page that you get when going on /forums ?
If so, just create a page in WordPress and change the slug to ‘forums’, then put anything you want in that page.

The standard page shown when going on /forums is content-archive-forum.php.

You can customize all templates if you want, just read some pages of the bbPress Codex: https://codex.bbpress.org/themes/theme-compatibility/getting-started-in-modifying-the-main-bbpress-template/

Thank you very much for your advices.
This really change root forum page for my own page, but I thought if is possible simply change style from archive for example to post or page. I want to only change wordpress style format but forum content preserve. I use this theme https://www.designwall.com/wordpress/themes/wallpress/ and this theme has archive divided to some parts and forum is bigger than one archive part, therefore I need change style to classic post or page.
