Back track.

Do you intend to use group forums? If not, login to the WP backend, navigate to “BuddyPress > Component Setup” and disable forums.

Then go back to your bbPress URL and install bbPress.

If the answer is “Yes”, then add the following to wp-config.php:

define ( 'BP_FORUMS_SLUG', 'group-forums' );

Change ‘group-forums’ to anything you like, then proceed to yoursite.com/forums to install bbPress.

Keep in mind with this this approach, you’ll have two points of entry for forums.

The /group-forums/ URL (for BP group forums) and the /forums/ URL (for the bbPress forums).

If you want to keep things simple, just deactivate the forums component for BP.
