Simple Press Wordpress plugin problems - wordpress

I needed a wordpress plugin for forums, so i installed Simple-Press plugin, the plugin works perfect with good controls and every thing seems perfect, but one problem i am having is on the Profile page of each user, i am getting this error
http://prntscr.com/7auib (screenshot)
Profile form could not be found [//wp-content/plugins/simple-press/forum/profile/forms/sp-form-global-options.php]
Can any one help out on this?

Don't bother with this plugin. Use bbPress which is the best and most compatible forum plugin for WordPress. It's made by the WordPress team.

Enabling Jetpack Slideshow plugin on a website

I've been creating a separate blog page on a custom website and using the Wordpress REST API to pull the post data onto the site. I've been following this documentation on how to pull the posts. My problem now is to find a way to make the Jetpack slideshow plugin working on the website.
Instead of the plugin, it displays:
This slideshow requires JavaScript.
Nothing on the documentation mentioned on how to enable the plugin. I'm hoping you all may know a solution.
Thanks.
Found a quick solution, I've simply copied the scripts and stylesheet that the jetpack plugins used and placed it on the external webpage.
It works but not sure if this is the best solution.

Wordpress: Using it as a news CMS only?

I tried to search everywhere for an answer to my question but I still doesn't understand how Wordpress fully work.
I would like to use Wordpress as my news system CMS only. This means, I do not wish to set up my page layout via the Wordpress theme interface. If you guys know another news CMS called CuteNews, I want my Wordpress to operate pretty much like CuteNews.
How can I put Wordpress post entries into my website that uses my own layout (and not using the theme interface in Wordpress).
Thanks!

I have used this as a starting point for my detached wordpress site and it's working perfect.
You can actually! Without converting it to a theme. It works for me as I don't do wordpress themes but I use WP to power the back-end of my websites. I utilize WP's CMS feature.
here's a checklist of what you can possibly do to your website.
Your website design (html/css)
Install Wordpress on your server, or locally.
Download Blank WP Template, set this as your default template for your wordpress site.
Edit the Theme's CSS/Header/Footer according to your website design while keeping essential WP codes provided in the template.
Set your News Page as the Blog Entry in WP Dashboard.
If you want some news preview, such as titles to appear somewhere on your site like homepage, you can either call it thru PHP code available on the net or install a plugin in WP.
Items listed above maybe broad, but that's a starting point, as you can research on the net for detailed information on how to go about your website with wordpress CMS.
Best of Luck!

Custom Login and Registration for new WordPress users

I'm fairly new at WordPress, therefore hopefully someone will find it easy enough to share a few minutes of their time assisting me. Basically, I was trying to implement custom registration into my new WordPress install. After struggling for a while, I came by the BuddyPress plugin, which seems to be absolutely amazing, except for one thing - while the registration works perfectly well, in order to login you apparently either need to have a wordpress account (there's the wordpress logo, etc). Would there be any hints on what actions could I take now ?
You could use WordPress with both the BuddyPress and Theme My Login plugins. This would let you completely customise the login and registration pages of WordPress.
This IMHO is the classic online tutorial for customised login/register/password retrieval for Wordpress.

How to integrate phpBB with Wordpress

Is there any way to integrate phpBB with Wordpress. I already have a wordpress blog and I need to integrate phpBB to it. I want to synchronize the user table of both phpBB and wordpress. User can access both sites by logging into anyone of the sites. Can anyone help me on this...
You can integrate/synchronize the user tables. There's even a plugin for that, see WP phpBB Bridge.
As an aside: I agree that as a standalone forum, phpBB is by far the best opensource/free solution. For WP, there's also the excellent simple:press forum. Using that instead of phpBB is definitely more future-proof, less maintenance requiring once setup and easier to optically integrate into the site. It might look pretty ugly at first, but its css is very flexible and with a bit of tinkering, you can integrate it very well.
EDIT
It having just received an upvote, I revisited this answer. And it being 2 years old, I want to add that given recent decisions of the dev team, I feel less inclined to recommend simple:press over going the extra mile and integrating phpBB...
I think BBPress Forum is best idea to integrate with wordpress. I recently integrate the BBPress Forum with one my wordpress blog. You can get guide for adding BBPress Forum from here http://www.bloggingalerts.com/2011/11/how-to-integrate-forum-with-wordpress.html
WP-United provides modules for both single sign-on and template integration. It does both of these automatically.
Ok, follow these steps exactly, this took me days to work out.
Install wordpress and phpbb as normal.
Make sure you are logged out of wordpress (otherwise you will get a gap at the top of your phpbb header, where the wordpress admin bar would go).
Now go to your wordpress blog page, (when you are logged out of wordpress admin) and right click, go to view source.
Copy the source from the top of the page until you see a div like page content etc (will vary on your theme), remember we just want the header.
Now paste that right at the top of your your overall_header.php in your phpbb template.
Now go to your phpbb admin, and go to styles, then templates, click refresh on your current template, so that the overall_header.php will be re-cached with the changes we have made.
You can do the footer in the same way, copy the footer html from the wordpress page that you want to use, and add it to overall_footer.php.
You can ever get the same styles by linking your css file from your blog to phpbb.
You should now be able to link to your phpbb and it will have a wordpress header.
i have used wp-phpbb-bridge with these steps:
1) after installation of the plugin, activate it;
2) set the correct paths of phpbb directory in the plugin's settings.
3) go to Widgets and put the Phpbb Bridge Users (or which one) you need into the sidebar.
then the users(login or other data) will be automatically synchronized.
this method worked for me.
