I can’t figure this out for some reason. Can users register their own accounts through the forum, or do they have to be registered by the administrator of the site?

You can use a widget in your sidebar https://codex.bbpress.org/widgets/
Or create a page with some shortcodes https://codex.bbpress.org/shortcodes/

Thanks Stephen!! The widget will be a nice and simple solution for now.

I’ve got the widget in my sidebar but when I tried to register a new user using the widget I got this message

I’m having the same issue when trying to register an account.

Soukos, after doing a bit of digging, I figured out how to resolve the issue we were both having – User registration is currently not allowed.

In your dashboard, go to Settings > General, and click “Allow anyone to register”
