Hi, if someone could assist I would appreciate it.

I have a new bbPress install here: https://classthink.com/forums/forum/microsoft/

I’ve created a new page with the [bbp-forum-index] shortcode here: https://classthink.com/forums/

But when I visit https://classthink.com/forums/ all I get is the Forums Archive.

It’s my — possibly incorrect — understanding that if you create a page with the same address as the forum slug, it should redirect to the page (in this case the forum index) rather than the archive.

Can someone please point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

looks like a genesis theme

try adding

bbPress Genesis Extend

that should fix it

come back if not

Thank you. That seems to have got me further!

I can now view the correct page, however, it doesn’t appear to respect the template that I have set. On the page it’s set to full-width in the Genesis settings, but the page appears with a side bar.

I’ve not used that plugin (as I’ve not used genesis themes) – does it have any settings ?
