Nothing is broken. I do not know what I am doing. Documentation is not helpful.

I dedicated a MultiSite subsite to the forum. WP 4.1/BBPress 2.5.4
I have never set up registration/login on any of my sites.
I do not want the site to require a login.

1.) I have no idea how to set up the forum logging in, at all.
2.) Many of my users do not have email accounts. How can they register?

Any input or direction would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you

And how do you get the main forum landing page into the nav menu? I just used the URL as a link in the menu.

If anyone actually looks at this – at least point me to get some guidance from ground zero?

Okay – I don’t know why it took so long for me to find the steps. Sorry for a ridiculous thread.

Hi there. Are you able to shed some light on what documentation you found helpful, and what you ended up setting up?

https://codex.bbpress.org/getting-started-with-bbpress/

Odd that it takes a couple of links to get there.

Also – I had to get instruction from the forum about the purpose and what to do with the /forums/ page that is blank. I still have not found the shortcode.

Because of the intructions I got from the forum – I knew what to look for and found this:

Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1

So I have now The Shortcode. I don’t want to even read the “other” method in detail.
My opinion: I don’t understand why this set-up must be so laborious.
