wpForo 1.x.x [Closed] My Forum Page is blank after installing wpForo.

WPForoNoob · 2018-04-20T11:05:49Z

Here is what I did:1. Install wpForo with default location community. So, forum should be at 'domain.com/community/'.2. Visit 'domain.com/community/'. See nothing.3. Create a page 'page-community.php' and put following code inside it:<?php get_header(); ?><?php get_footer(); ?> 4. Visit 'domain.com/community/'. See `` as text. I know this is very stupid quaestion but could anyone please tell me how can I see something forum like on the `domain.com/community` page?Thanks.

Thanks Anonymous20. 🙂

Would it help if I give you a URL to my forum page?

Am I supposed to change any settings after installing the plugin?

As i said, i don't understand what you try to do.

Installing wpforo doesn't need to create any PHP page. Maybe i don't understand your project.

You create a page WITH WORDPRESS, a simple page and insert the shortcode.

Finally, I got it to work. Here are the steps I followed, in case anyone else gets stuck:

1. Create a page called `page-community.php` inside your theme and put the following code inside it. This page will act as a template for the forum to render.

<?php get_header(); ?>

<?php echo do_shortcode('[wpforo]'); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

2. Install the `WPForo` plugin.

3. Visit `domain.com/community/`. You should see your forum now. 🙂
