1. Activate plugin and find forums on /community/ page, (/community-2/ if /community/ is used),
2. Manage Forums in Dashboard > wpForo > Forums admin page,
3. Manage Forum Menu in Dashboard > Appearance > Menu admin page,
4. Manage Forum Widgets in Dashboard > Appearance > Widgets admin page,
5. Manage Forum Colors in Dashboard > wpForo > Settings > Colors & Styles admin page, you can choose forum color styles.

If you see the forum on home page, check the following two options:

1. Make sure the "Turn WordPress to this forum board" option is disabled in wpForo > Boards > Edit Board screen: https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v2/getting-started/forum-page/turn-wordpress-to-wpforo/
2. Make sure the forum page is not set as the Front Page in WordPress Settings > Reading admin page: https://wpforo.com/docs/wpforo-v2/getting-started/forum-page/set-forum-on-home-page/
