I have many problems, questions and issues that just annoy me:

1) I want the forum on my homepage so I followed the instructions that were given, but that freaking stupid /community is still active. Not only that, I can not delete the page lol. I just want that community thing completely gone from everywhere. Also the page. When I click on ''members'' for example it still goes with /community/members. I don't want this.

2) When I go to incognito I see that stupid wordpress bar on the top even though I deactivated that and the same thing with forum page title...

3) I tried testing registering and complete mess also. Got a mail and activated it on there multiple times and nothing happened. Had to resend and dint receive anything. Than just changed my password and still have to activate it...o*g..

4)group page is a complete mess. Same with members

5)Due to no tutorial video I don't even know why I have buddypress installed and also dont know which pages are for buddypress or wpforo. 

6) I decided to just let it go and at least create the menu instead, but also there come many questions and problems.

7)like 20 more problem and just too many to name up...please just make a tutorial video, Considering to just go with bbpress. They at least have tutorial videos from many people.

The forum only exists under the /community/ path. Setting it on home doesn't mean you've removed the base path.

Make sure you don't have cache plugins. This is not wpForo issue, it seems you have some other plugins like BuddyPress or so, they enable it back. Don't search that problem in wpForo.

3) I tried testing registering and complete mess also. Got a mail and activated it on there multiple times and nothing happened. Had to resend and dint receive anything. Than just changed my password and still have to activate it...o*g..

Your registration page is not wpForo registration page, this is BuddyPress and all issues come from BuddyPres. This is not wpForo issue too. Use wpForo registration form instead. If you're going to use BuddyPress then keep asking solutions in BuddyPress support forum.

4)group page is a complete mess. Same with members

wpForo doesn't have Group Page. This is BuddyPress too.

5)Due to no tutorial video I don't even know why I have buddypress installed and also dont know which pages are for buddypress or wpforo.

I don't understand why so many BuddyPress questions are asked here. Please disable wpForo and understand what is buddyPress. Then install wpForo again, or do the vice versa. wpForo has a good documentation here: https://wpforo.com/documentation/

6) I decided to just let it go and at least create the menu instead, but also there come many questions and problems.

Your menu is BuddyPress menu. wpForo Menu is this: https://wpforo.com/docs/root/getting-started/forum-menu/

This is freaking ugly. I don't want the /community// path. How do I completely delete it. It's also different than the homepage, not even full width and

Do I even need BuddyPress or can I just use wpForo alone? Why does the few tutorial videos I see about wpForo always download BuddyPress???

Once again you keep bringing BuddyPress down? Wasn't it compatible with wpForo?? Do I need BuddyPRess or can I just do everything fine with wpForo?

I don't understand why so many BuddyPress questions are asked here.

Because there is NOT ONE tutorial video of wpForo and the one there is downloads buddypress... 

Please disable wpForo and understand what is buddyPress. Then install wpForo again, or do the vice versa. wpForo has a good documentation here:  https://wpforo.com/documentation/

If I disable BuddyPress and only have wpForo I still have a 100% functioning forum? Then why did you guys make it compatible with BuddyPress if BuddyPress doesn't add anything to the forum?

Please disable wpForo and understand what is buddyPress. Then install wpForo again, or do the vice versa. wpForo has a good documentation here:  https://wpforo.com/documentation/

Documentation is like almost always very hard to understand. A tutorial video would help a lot in this time. I favorited the documentation link but one final question. If I understand you right, I don't even nééd BuddyPress? I can just deactivate the plug-in and delete it and just go on and continue with wpForo alone?

Sure, wpForo is 100% functional with own Profile page, registration page and login page. You don't need BuddyPress. Just disable it. wpForo documentation is very easy and contains lots of screenshots. You can start here: https://wpforo.com/documentation/

You can find many Youtube videos as tutorial too: https://www.youtube.com/results?search_query=wpforo
