I have tried both of these fixes (making sure the login was /%wpforo-login%/ and changing it to ?wpforo=signin, and neither are correcting the 404 issue.  The URL is:

https://www.triadmathinc.com/community/http:/www.triadmathinc.com/community/

If I delete the second URL to after logging in:

https://www.triadmathinc.com/community/

I go to the forum as expected, but I can't tell all of our customers to do this.  Is there a solution?

Fix all your links to https:

Some are http://

Ok, I have changed the login as directed.

Is it ok for me to leave my home page set to the default /community page for the time being ?

That's not a good idea. The home page should be other page, not the main wpForo page.

Why is that not a good idea? I've done the same.in case you want the forum on the frontpage it will switch the home menu if you put it on another page. But if you put forum as home problem solved?

We'll fix this in next version. At the moment please check the Login Menu shortcode to ?wpforo=signin , please see the screenshot:

Not only does the login from this page re-direct to a 404 but I noticed that all the recent post links on this page, when selected, don't open correctly.

They simply show the main forum page and place holder such as https://www.bisfhouse.com/#post-827 instead of the correct link which should output as https://www.bisfhouse.com/community/ask-a-question/house-type/#post-827

My site has two pages containing the wpforo shortcode

Home Forum - Set as Homepage - permalink - https://www.bisfhouse.com/

BISF House Forums - Permalink -  https://www.bisfhouse.com/community/

I have set them up like this following instructions here https://wpforo.com/docs/root/getting-started/forum-page/set-forum-on-home-page/

  1. By default Forum uses “Forum” page with /community/ slug.  Please don’t set this page as Front Page in regular WordPress settings. And you don’t need to delete current forum page even if you’ve already changed that, just follow to next step.
  2. Create another page, for example “Home Forum” with “home-forum” slug. And put  shortcode in  page content.
  3. Navigate in Dashboard to Settings > Reading admin page, find the “Front page displays” option, select the “Front page”, choose “Home Forum” in drop-down and save options:

Yet when I set my site up like this, all the recent post links and login links fail to work correctly. I have also updated permalinks but to no avail.

Yet we I do the opposite of what I have highlighted in red above, and I set my Homepage to the BISF House Forums page containing the community permalink https://www.bisfhouse.com/community/ the site works as it should.

Am I reading the instructions wrong here and despite the install instructions saying don't use the /community page as a static front page, it is actually ok to do so?

I'm at a loss otherwise.
