Hello,

I am trying to follow the step-by-step instructions, and I am still having trouble displaying the main forum page. I am trying to use method 1. I checked and verified the settings.

I added some test forums and topics, and I can see them in the backend.
Forum Root = Forums
Permalink structure is set to POSTNAME
Category | Tag base left blank (default)

I created a page called Forums and nothing displayed.
I tried adding the shortcode and still nothing appears.

I am referring to: https://codex.bbpress.org/step-by-step-guide-to-setting-up-a-bbpress-forum/#3-%c2%a0creating-a-forum-page

Page Links: https://bkswathq.com/forums
Wordpress : 6.3.2
bbp Version 2.6.9

Thanks in advance.
Fills silly to be stuck so early on in the process.

I think you are using the 2023 theme.
This is one of the new FSE themes, so you need a fix to work with bbpress.
install

bbp style pack

once activated, navigate to

dashboard>settings>bbp style pack, and you should see the first tab called ‘Theme Support’ – if you don’t see this, come back.

In that tab, select

Enable Theme Support

and save

The forums should then display

@Robin

You can see in my site – I cannot get “Theme Support”

@bsdinsight – you are assuming that your issue is the same, and your image doesn;t show.

What theme are you using?

[@bsdinsight Participant 2 years ago]

@Robin. You can see my image https://imgur.com/eSwjLjG

I am using The7 theme.

You can see my forum. It cannot show correctly https://bsdinsight.com/forums/

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years ago]

ok, so this is a paid theme – you should raise this with the theme authors

[@bsdinsight Participant 2 years ago]

I just change to TwentyTwentytwo theme, but it is same issue. You can get my forum at https://bsdinsight.com/forums/

[@robin-w Moderator 2 years ago]

ok, so that is a page with a shortcode that tends to suggest you do not have the bbpress plugin active
