I'm not interested in using WP-Foro registration and login forms, there's option to disable that and use standard wp-login. But still widget with Profile and option to Log In / Register if user is not registered is using wrong URLs. 
No matter if I'm using redirect option or not, widget is always forcing users to use registration/login form that I don't want to use as it's a little missleading for newcomers. Is there any way to force WP Foro to use normal links for wp-login and standard forms?

Hi,

The profile is shown to logged in users and the disconnect works well. No issues.

And since you don't use wpForo login/register forms, remove wpforo login/register widget and use Wordpress menu for all that.

I use this to show automatically login or logout to the menu, depending on user status.

Works great for years now ....

Example: Every post on my page uses this "Log in / Register / Profile for logged in users" box. Just for encourage people to register and already registered people to see the notification bell. But if user is not registered, "Register" button leads to WP-Foro registration form. It's not working well for me.
It should lead to normal WordPress login page if owner of the site wants to.

"Don't use" don't fix the issue - whole panel with buttons, avatar and notification bell is very nice thing to have. Yes, I can hide it for non-logged in users and fix it with plugin mentioned by you.
Thanks for suggestion but I'm deeply shocked how WP Foro is using term we call in my country as "spychology", not linked in any way with word "spy". It simply means that you have to use something else to fix something that should be fixed by the author himself.

Something like "Not my problem, despite I'm the author" 😉 I will try to workaround this problem with additional plugin.

@dimalifragis Here's an example:

https://historyczny.szczecin.pl/skad-w-szczecinie-wzial-sie-plac-sztywnych/

This article is done using Elementor, there's WP-Foro profile widget at the right, in the text, just at the right of buttons, at the top of text.

If user uses it, clicks it - it will redirect to WP-Foro registration or login page. But I don't want to. That's the issue. I would like to use Wordpress only forms there. Redirection option in the settings works only for addons like Buddypress. I can't force this thing to use default and basic login / registration form.

It would be very nice to do so, as profile buttons and notification bells in articles are very cool thing.

Here is what it looks like when user is logged in, but as I said, buttons leads to WP-Foro login and registration form, I'm looking for a way to force these buttons to redirect to normal Wordpress form.

@grd1,

You can insert the WordPress login URL in the "Custom Authorization URLs" sections as well. 

For example:

Login URL: /wp-admin/
