BuddyPress BBPress: how to have a Forum tab on top?

[regis57000]

Hello,

I have setting up basic template “BuddyPress Default”
and I wonder how do I proceed to have a separate Tab just like the home button on top pointing to my Forum.

Please let me know,

The forum is only show tru Widget and “bbpress last topic” thing so far on the right side and I do not find it very handy.

Best regards,

Create a page call it Forum no content publish and in buddypress settings in Pages tab assign the page.

unfortunately it is not working for me

The forum link is https://holidaysparkingsbuddies.com/forum/forum/test/

I probably miss something, but I wonder what

[govpatel]

Why do you two forum in link there is problem in your setup recheck

[regis57000]

it install itself like this by it’s own.
But you are probably right, this forum sub folder might be too much in the overall set up.

I will let you know

I have permantly remove my Forum page.
I have remove topics and forum before having uninstall and reinstall BB Press.
I still have same issue.

The forum plugin itself seems to be installed under /forum empty.
When I create a forum from my dashboard it does the /forum/forum addition.

I tried to create topic first, with no forum name or details added from the dashboard and it goes /forum/topic.

When I go one step back to the /forum everything is empty, no topic list or whatever.

this is a mistery to me

Did you not use the forum setup within buddypress

[regis57000]

Yes this is what I did.
no matter what I do, the standard forum goes under /forum/forum/forumname
When I edit a wordpress page link it does not take in account the middle slash in forum/forum!

add custom link here put websitename/forum link and save menu
i hope this what you want
