Try changing the ‘slug’ in the settings to forum
Dashboard>settings>forums and look for forum root slug
unfortunately I can’t get it to work after trying some different settings.
I also seem to have massive issues relying to topics on this website, none of them seem to get posten
after trying some different settings
is not really very helpful.
what did you try ?
I’m trying to write a complete story of what I tried but everytime i hit submit, nothing posts at all.
Please help me, i’m getting very frustrated
trying for the 100 time to post this text, hope it works this time (trying it without links to screenshot sthis time)
when I change forum root slug from forums to forum, it now allso screws up the forum page when I access it from the main website bar.
I cleared the tickbox at the forum prefix, no change either )but now the url says forum instead of forums everywhere, but still no fix.
I can only post short replies, if I make it to long it won’t post, I have no idea why, so sorry for the many replies.
When I change the forum slug to a completely different text like test, it still screw up my forum layout as can be seen here

ok, so it sounds like a theme issue, so I googled ‘wordpress theme pinboard bbpress’ and got this
https://wordpress.org/support/topic/bbpress-forum-homepage-displaying-oddly?replies=8
the advice is closed to perfect as this looks very strongly like your problem. The only issue might be that the page.php file has been changed in a later version and the lines might be slightly different.
Read this first for background
Step by step guide to setting up a bbPress forum – Part 1
so try the following
1. copy page.php and rename it bbpress.php
2, edit the bbpress.php file
line 12:
<?php post_class(); ?>
to
<?php $classes=get_post_class(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $classes); ?>
4. modify LOCAL forums.php line 18:
<?php the_content(); ?>
to
$content = get_the_content(); echo str_replace(“twocol”, “onecol”, $content); ?>
Save this file and reload it to your theme
As the link says, you should really put it into a child theme

but either way keep a copy of it.
Come back if this isn’t clear
I’m having some problems, I cannot reply in my original post?!
When I write my message and I hit post, it does something, refreshes the page, and nothing happens, no new message or anything?!
So i’m very sorry for making a new thread, but I see no other option (i’ve been trying to reply for 24hours now without success from multiple systems)
So this was my reply on this topic
Thank you for your reply, but when I change forum root slug from forums to forum, it now allso screws up the forum page when I access it from the main website bar.
I cleared the tickbox at the forum prefix, no change either )but now the url says forum instead of forums everywhere, but still no fix.
If you have any other options for me, please let me know.
For now thank you very much!
To clearify things I´ve made some screenshots

Hello Robin,
I don;t know what the issue is with this forum, but that last reply with the pictures is the post I’ve tried to post 2 days ago…
I already solved it with custom css
http://www.pc-helpforum.be/topic/55670-wordpress-bbpress-plugin/#entry437428
(your reply wasn’t visible at that time either).
So again I don’t know what’s wrong with this forum that post get delayed posted for over a day, but it isn’t really helpful.
No problem, the spam catcher sometimes get too enthusiastic !
I will presume you’re now fixed, unless you come back
