I'm very new to your forum having no experience in programming. I install successfully simple forum version 4.4.1 on my wordpress website now i want my categories look like this;

Main Category
   sub Category
   sub Category

So is it possible because, I have a huge list of categories, so i
need your suggestion that how i can achieve this.

And if i can get a tutorial about how to setup simple forum that should be much appreciated.

Yes – you can have sub-forums within main forums which is probably what you mean. I would advise against many ‘groups’ and main forums – using sub-forums has better performance.
On our wiki is a short ‘Getting Started’ tutorial which is a good place to get the basics.

I start setting up the forum so as sooner i log out from my wp admin so i receive following error on my forum page.

 

You 404’d it. Gnarly, dude.

Surfin’ ain’t easy, and right
now, you’re lost at sea. But don’t worry; simply pick an option from the list
below, and you’ll be back out riding the waves of the Internet in no time.

  • Hit the “back”
    button on your browser. It’s perfect for situations like this!
  • Head on over to the home page.
  • Punt.

So i try all of these options but i unable to see my forum page. Only way i see it by logging back in to my wp admin.

I install SPF on my laptop for testing purpose.

currently, child forums are shown at the top… and then the topics for the current forum are listed…

so not sure what you mean… the only place forums are listed is the group view…

This will show more clear picture. My group name is on the top and then my forums and then my child forums and sub forums. If you need more explanation, so let me know.
